White: Hot! or Not?

“Ignore the old rules.  White after Labor Day is glamorous.”

As Labor Day is approaching, so is the question of should I stop wearing white or continue to wear it?  We all have heard the rule that you are only supposed to wear white from Memorial Day through Labor Day because it marks the summer season. 

If you want to continue to wear white during the “off season” it’s your choice, but choose wisely when it comes to fabrics.  Summer white normally consist of light weight fabrics such as linens, chiffons and cottons.  At first I was against wearing white after Labor Day, but now I see that white is more versatile with the variety of winter white colors that include cream, off white, eggshell, and bone.  Those shades of white look so rich during the fall/winter season with the heavier textiles like wool, leather and knits.

Over the years fashion has changed and so have the rules.  With that in mind, will you retire your white or continue to wear it?
