"Thou shall not wear white after Labor Day"

So as I was getting ready for school today and picking out what to wear is occurred to me that I could no longer wear my white pants or capri's. I started to wonder, were did the whole "No white after Labor Day" come from after all? SO this is what I found.....Etiquette experts admit that it's hard to pinpoint why the rule existed in the first place. Was it because a lot of white clothing is summery and light and there were women who didn't understand that you just don't wear linen spaghetti-strap sundresses in December? Who knows, but about 99% of the etiquette and fashion guides out there today agree with you that it's a silly and outdated tradition, and that white can be appropriate year-round.

Interesting factoid: the oldest versions of the "rule" only referred to white shoes, and then somehow got twisted to include white fabric. So even today you'll find more people who still follow and support the no-white-shoe rule, but see nothing wrong with white clothing.

GOOD to know! That means I might still wear my white pants and capri's, MAYBE...I know it's just a Myth but I have been faithful to the "rule" thus far....
