Can I Wear White After Labor Day? How?!

It’s the proverbial question that pops up this time of year….it could be because no one wants to make any outright fashion faux pas but I kinda think it’s really because everyone still wants to rock their white and not be talked about in the process!  The answer is simple – yes, you can wear white after labor BUT there are a few guidelines (read RULES) that one should note and we share them below.

White can now be worn year-round especially if you live in seasonless climates.  The rule is old and outdated — ignore it and just practice a dose of common sense mixed with a hint of fashion savvy:

• NO linen or tissue-thin cotton items
• DO wear white as a jacket or coat (stands out against all the black)
• DO wear white on top (versus on the lower half) and go darker on the bottom

  

• NO white shoes (ever…..ugh!)
• NO white hosiery (unless you’re 7 and it’s Easter!)
• DO try off-white or winter white

Diesel off-white jeans

• DO wear white cords with olive tones and browns (skip black)

  

• DO rock a winter white suit for an After-5 affair
• DO wear white with other textures/patterns/prints
