More than ever before, this year’s Homecoming season has caused quite the fashion uproar. Our Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are known for setting trends and stepping outside the box, but after this year, it could be time to reel it back in. From inappropriate skirts to tired fashion trends, y’all might have gone a little too far with the fits this time around.

Now, The Root is not here to judge anyone, but we do have questions about some of this year’s Homecoming outfit choices. Remember, Homecoming is a family affair full of networking opportunities, small children, and tenured professors. But enough about us, we’ll let you see and decide for yourself.

To close off Homecoming season, take a look at some of the questionable fashion choices. We have to warn you: many of these aren’t that bad, but others... just brace yourself.

If you’re not on HBCU TikTok, just know the “bubble skirt” trend has many people shocked. Bubble skirts have been taking over the club scene this year, but some things are better left where you found them... at the club! Moving forward, let’s try to be a little more mindful.
