Create28 Fall ~ White After Labor Day

No white after Labor Day -- To gals that are into fashion, we know that rule is old news! But some people still take this rule to heart. No one is QUITE sure where this rule came from...I have heard varying stories. The most popular being that upper class Americans in the early 1900's used to take summer vacations away from the urban "concrete jungle" and visit cooler places--therefore wearing "cooler" type colors, including white. When they returned to the City after Labor Day, they would wear their "city clothes" (darker colors), to mark the end of the summer.

I have no idea if there is any truth to this, all I know is I love white before AND after Labor Day!!!  I have two ways I like to wear it in the fall~

1) Paired with "fallish" items such as plaids, vests, boots, etc.

2) Paired with neutrals or "winter whites."

Here are my two looks ~

Look #1 ~ Paired with plaid and a cargo vest


White Jeans: Loft (similar)
Plaid Shirt: Kohl's (similar, similar)
Cargo Vest: TJ Maxx (option)
Ankle Boots: similar, similar
Necklace: Stella & Dot (exact)


Look #2 ~ The neutrals look



White Jeans: Loft (similar)
Sweater: Nordstrom Rack (similar, similar)
Leopard Scarf: H&M (similar, similar)
Boots: Corso Como/Nordstrom (similar)

Do you **DARE** wear white after Labor Day???

  1. I love how you gave us more than one tip! I especially love the second, all-neutral look! I purchased a pair of white jeans on super sale maybe a month or so ago but I'm still not sure about how they look on me. You've inspired me to try them on again! I MIGHT be wearing them with my trendy item for "Try a Trend" on Monday!

  2. Still feeling a little apprehensive about wearing my white pants in October. El Paso is about a year or two behind with any trend. I am pretty certain I won't look like a trendsetter but more like someone who didn't read the memo about not wearing white after Labor Day. Could you do a spot on local TV here about wearing white year-round and then I could try it? You look fab in both outfits but my fav is the leopard.

  5. Of course I wear white jeans after Labor Day. But then, I live in Southern California where most fashion rules don't apply. ;-) I love the second look.
