Will You Be Humiliated If You Wear White After Labor Day?

How many of you were raised being told you were not allowed to wear white after Labor Day? Is it still a thing or a question one thinks about? I was brought up to believe in this ‘rule’ that no one ever questioned.

This custom of not wearing white after Labor Day originated in the 19th century as a way for the upper class to differentiate themselves from the working class and to spot the nouveau riche who were not privy to the elite secret. It is a totally fabricated fashion ‘rule’ that is well past its prime.

Bottom line, yes, you can wear white year-round. If you still want more information, here are some links to read more about this.
