It’s homecoming season, which means the need for stylish tailgate outfits is high among returning alumni and undergrads alike. Because regardless of whether you’re actually into sports or just there for the party, you don’t have to sacrifice your personal style for the big game.
In fact, fashion has always been an underlying theme of homecoming for many schools. At historically Black colleges and universities, specifically, homecoming is basically another runway opportunity. For many, HBCU homecoming fashion is a time to get creative and show your self-expression. And to wear a lot of layers.
Dressing for a sporting event can already be overwhelming for some, not to mention the added pressure of knowing that you might run into a former classmate (or worse, an ex) you haven’t seen in years at homecoming. Are heels appropriate? Is this coat too dressy? How casual is too casual? In truth, there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to homecoming outfits. It’s all in how you style it.
Just look at these tailgate outfits below for proof.
