White after Labor Day

[susandennis]

There is so much bad info out there about white after Labor Day and I'm here to clear it up. I was raised where that law was made and in the time when it was strictly followed.

The law is no white shoes after Labor Day. Just shoes. White anything else is fine.

But, it's old law. From the time when showing your bra straps was never done, when women only shaved their arm pits and legs and never discussed it, when men never wore hats indoors.

A different time. Things that were once confined to trailer trash are now tolerated, accepted and often de riguere everywhere from the gutter to the throne. Different laws.

You no longer get any 'edgy' points for wearing white anything or wearing anything after Labor Day. Sorry. That ship has sailed.

In case you were wondering.

Well, now what I am wondering is what has brought this topic to mind!

twitter and instagram, of course. avoiding facebook alone does not a pure life provide :)

I SO remember that rule. But, up north, it wasn't strictly held. I remember wearing white shoes on Easter Sunday - even if there was snow on the ground! But - then I met my friend online from Atlanta, and she added a few more. No white pants until after Memorial Day and not after Labor Day. Do not wear velvet after February 14th.

Around here, we could wear white after labour day, but it had to be “winter white”. Which was kind of an ivory. I remember so clearly the discussions my mom and aunts had about white vs winter white. It was a pretty big deal.

Phooey. Looks like I bought all these white clothes and white shoes for nothing, then.

unless you're going down to the tropics and you can wear whatever colour you want ;)

I'm assuming you're being sarcastic when you say "law" and there are no clothes police.
