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.
