White after Labor Day is OK

According some current fashion experts the old rule of no white after labor day does not apply any more. It is OK to wear off-white or white in heavier materials after Labor Day.

The origin of the etiquette rule is unknown, but there are many theories. If white is paired the right way, there is no reason not to wear it any time of the year, besides who cares for fashion rules.

A head to toe white outfit maybe difficult to pullout without looking like a nurse (or a bride), but white pieces combined with other colors are flattering on most people. According to the old "Color Me Beautiful" theories the color white is not for everybody. Pure white may make some people look tired; in these cases there are other tones of white.

White is a versatile color, but it requires a lot of maintenance. I love the Banana Republic shirts for women; my favorite continues to be the classic man's shirt.
