Welcome to 2020 where silly arbitrary fashion rules such as “no white clothing after Labor Day” are just that, silly. I put together this guide to wearing white after labor day to basically say that we can do what we want. That’s kind of how I my style! I tried to search why this was even a thing and came to the conclusion that nobody really knows the real history behind it.
Some say that this fashion rule came about in the 19th century as a way for old money to distinguish from new “F you” money. However, others say that Labor Day also marks the end of summer! Typically, white clothing is worn during the summertime because it doesn’t absorb light and heat therefore, keeping you from sweating and looking like a mess. So when summer ends, people tend to pack their white flowy summer pieces away to get ready for darker toned fall/winter clothing.
Well, whatever the reason is, you’d be pretty silly to follow this nonsense. I’m convinced nobody in this generation actually takes this no white after Labor Day rule seriously.
Labor Day sales are going on all over the country so this guide will be really helpful if you’re looking to shop and add new clothing pieces to your wardrobe and be able to wear white all year round.
Basics
Your everyday easy style. Take a nice white tee or any white basic top and pair with great fitting jeans and pair with either sneaker or some bulky heels, depending on what you’re up to for that day. There are endless ways to style a white basic piece as foundation of an outfit to build and layer on or by itself, you can’t go wrong!

Outerwear
A white layer of outerwear on any outfit instantly adds a dash of chicness. Taking a slim fit white blazer and wearing it with jeans, or a fitted dress is one of my favorite ways to elevate an outfit.

Dresses
Don’t think that white dresses are only a thing for the summer. Sweater dresses do exists, you know. Take a sweater dress and pair it with knee or thigh high boots! I love this look so much that it’s all I want to wear when the weather cools down a bit during fall or winter time.
