Hello Beautiful!
Last week was busy with styling, appointments, meetings and events and the number one question I got asked was “Can I still wear white after Labor Day”? Now, I know some of your grandmothers are going to roll over in their graves when I say this, but the answer is “YES”!
I decided to check out the website of the Queen of Etiquette, Emily Post, and see what she had to say about this and guess what?? It was pretty much word-for-word the answer I was giving!
Here it is from the website:
“Of course, you can wear white after Labor Day, and it makes perfect sense to do so in climates where September’s temperatures are hardly fall-like. It’s more about fabric choice today than color. Even in the dead of winter in northern New England the fashionable wear white wools, cashmeres, jeans, and down-filled parkas. The true interpretation is “wear what’s appropriate—for the weather, the season, or the occasion.”
Here in Tennessee we are still experiencing some high 80’s and even 90’s temperatures so I will still be seen in my white jeans! You can transition into fall/winter by pairing them with booties instead of sandals, leopard flats, lightweight fall scarves, denim jackets and other layering pieces.
