Is it okay to wear White after Labor Day?

I say "yes, you can" but you want to wear it strategically and transition into heavier fabrics, unless, of course, its a white shirt or you're a bride. And, in the event you are a bride, you should probably be in ivory, but that's another story.

The problem with wearing white after Labor Day is that people will think you're a heathen wiith no fashion sense and sometimes, its just not worth it giving off that impression. Personally, I like to wear white beyond the season, it makes me feel a little decadent and fashion forward, I just make sure that I wear it so that it looks like I am intentionally going against the grain.

If you want to wear white after Labor Day, do like I do:

1) Layer it.  Wear it with something else that is Fall like.  My favorite is a cardigan or jacket. It helps ground the white and it clearly shows that I'm not a fashion mistake.

2) Keep is heavy.  A pair of white jeans makes more sense than wearing a pair of linen pants.

3) Pair it up.  Wear it with fall accessories, in other words, no white shoes, hats, purses, or belts.

Follow this advice and you can easily bend the wearing white after Labor Day rules and even be admired for bucking the system.
