#APBStyle: Homecoming Edition

A Celebration of Style and Heritage

Every fall, Homecoming, stands apart from a typical college reunion; it's a spirited fusion of heritage, school pride, and fashion. During Homecoming week, vibrant traditions honor Black history and culture. Electrifying step shows unite through rhythm, and tailgates create a safe space for students, families, and returning alumni. This celebration connects generations and honors the educational and empowering legacy of these institutions.

 

Showcasing Your Best Style

What you wear for Homecoming is more than just a typical OOTD; it serves as a canvas for creativity and individuality. At Homecoming, fashion takes center stage, featuring everything from college-inspired apparel to the latest sneaker releases. Your outfit tells your personal journey and deep-rooted connection to your institution. So, when choosing your homecoming fit, stand out with pieces that showcase your school spirit and express your #APBStyle.

We're spotlighting three colleges in our cities and their dynamic homecoming celebrations. In Columbia, SC, the University of South Carolina; in Jacksonville, FL, Edward Waters University; and the stage is set for Florida A&M University's legendary homecoming in Tallahassee, FL.
