Outfits 5 years ago White Before and After Labor Day
There are many theories on how “no white after labor day” originated, but times have changed, and I’m changing with them.
While some theories say this “rule” was implemented for practicality purposes {i.e. white is worn in the summer to stay cool so why keep wearing it once it’s over?}, most theories have to do with plain and simple elitism.
In a day and age where old rules are meant to be broken, in this case, in the world of fashion, people have moved away from the strictness of this declaration. Especially in a time where street style is at an all time high and elevated basics are everywhere, there is no better time to bend the rules and play with tradition.
When I was in New York earlier this month I sported a white dress by one of my favorites, Zimmermann. And guess what… I plan to continue wearing it after this long weekend. Especially in a place like LA where the seasons vary ever so slightly and there is an exceptionally laid back lifestyle, I see no reason to stop wearing this staple color.
If you aren’t into fully embracing a white dress post-Labor Day, why not test out a white shoe or hair bow? These little pops will be like your own personal rebellion. Nothing more fun than that.
What are your thoughts on this age old rule? Comment below! I’m so curious to hear.
