Tones of Melanin

Tones of Melanin is another apparel store that supports some Greek organizations. Their stand-out products are the reversible satin jackets and jerseys (basketball and baseball).

BuyANiceShirt.com

BuyANiceShirt.com sells apparel for HBCUs, sororities, fraternities, and even some high schools. They're the only business on this short list that sells lounge dresses, masks, and book-bags. Their cardigan-style sweater is beautiful.
