If I remember correctly, that rule disappeared sometime during the 1960s, probably because white became very popular in clothing, shoes and purses. I was living in a northern state as a child at that time. So, yes, as someone said "very senior citizens". Thankfully these days, it is acceptable to wear what makes you look and/or feel good!
I don't know if the rule still exists. I'm not one to let other people decide what I should wear. I'm a New Yorker. I don't wear white during the winter because it gets dirty to easily. If someone else did, I certainly wouldn't think less of them.
I never understood this rule. Labor Day began many years ago, since then it's always been after Labor Day. Unless there's a reset day, which is unspecified.
What about white undergarments? Use of white towels?
I wear what I want and I live in the Northeast where we have seasons. My White jeans won't be put away until toward the end of September. My White/Beige sandals and flats will be worn until then as well.
By the 1880s, in order to tell who was acceptable and who wasn’t, the women who were already “in” felt it necessary to create dozens of fashion rules that everyone in the know had to follow.
High fashion cities and the upper class will not wear white after labor day. Otherwise I don't think it matters.
So not true. i remember going with my grandmother to the club and lots of the ladies would wear white skirts or slacks in September and this was the late 80s.
I don't think it's a rule, but I tend not to wear white shorts, white pants or white shirts because I don't like how they look on me. I prefer bright colors. In the past I have worn white after labor day. It's what I liked at the time.
