White After Labor Day. Absolutely!!!!

When that chill graces the air, and the leaves start their change in life, it may be enticing and easy to pull out those browns, blacks, grays, dark colors that one believes they are supposed to wear during this season. On the contrary, white proves to be a great color to wear year round.

The many shades of white blend well with those heavy, rough fabrics of Fall, such as flannel, tweed, denim and wool. They also make for a lighter look overall. Make sure you get lots of chunky sweaters in different shades of white. And keep in mind that white goes with anything.

I think the reason people are so hung up on not wearing white after Labor Day is because in the past the fashion capital of the United States were places such as New York, because during the chilly Fall and those rough cold wet winters, it was much easier to just stick those dark colors that didn't show dirt and wetness. But those days are long gone. These days people are feeling a bit more natural and light in planning their wardrobes, so as to not be weighed down. This is why several versions of wearing white in those cold months come into play.







 
 
In addition to white, bring out those other colors in your closet. Mix it up. Try a pair of Denim jeans with a white shirt and chunky wheat colored sweater, for a big hit at a night out with the girls, shopping or any other activity that doesn't require you to dress to the nines.
White is the perfect canvas of creativity and newness that designers can play with by adding color, texture and style to rev up those boring dark Fall and Winter colors. So push that darkness aside and get out there and work those whiter lighter colors and look timelessly chic.
