As summer ends, you may be thinking about packing up all of your white clothes, because everyone knows you’re not supposed to wear white after Labor Day, right? Wrong! After reading this, you might want to wait a bit.
According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the custom goes all the way back to the early 1900s, when wearing white clothing was associated with the well-to-do. If you were caught wearing white clothing, especially after the Labor Day holiday, it meant you had the money to travel in the late summer months and were flaunting your status to others.
Because we’re not ready to say goodbye to summer just yet, we’ve rounded up some cool white fashions and accessories that prove the rule about wearing white after Labor Day is definitely a thing of the past.
