The "Don't Wear White After Labor Day" rule

I have lived in Hawaii and Miami for the last 35 years. Have never given this rule one thought.

Fashion has changed.

That rule no longer applies.

Of course the rule still applies. How ridiculous.

r3 is new to DL.

The rule only applies to shoes.

And if they’re tennis shoes, it only applies for the first thirty seconds they are worn (after that, they’re no longer white)

No, it hasn’t!

I have never cared about this rule and do not now but man, I had a former boss who very. much. had differing opinions on the subject than I did. I really thought she may fire me. I think it's a stupid rule. If it's 90 degrees and I want to wear white, I will. Even if it's November

The rule only applies East of the Mississippi and North of the Mason-Dixon line. Everywhere else, no. Definitely not in California.

Don't fucking do it.

R9, that's cuz we don't have seasons in California. Lol, love you.

R9, you are incredibly ignorant.

Winter white.

R12 You're incredibly preposterous.

R14 will never be invited to KA’s Old South ball.

Much less asked to rush.

R15 Hopefully.

Also, i want to fuck Bowen Yang. Is it ok to fuck Bowen Yang after Labor Day?

Wear white after Labor Day and face Episcopal hell... Choose carefully 😠

DO IT and we shall find out!

No one has followed this rule in decades.

^ Well, maybe in YOUR trailer park 😂

My darling mother reminds me that back in the day, only brides and nurses were free to wear white between Labor Day and Memorial Day.

Women who flout sartorial rules are no better than harlots and streetwalkers. As Mother says, why do they bother dressing at all?

What does one do in the Southern Hemisphere, when US Labor Day more or less marks the beginning of summer?

The weather, location, and time dictated the rule.

Would I wear white bucks at Christmas in the Northeast? Certainly not. If I were in Miami, Honolulu, or in a tropical setting at Christmas? Why not?

^ And I must say that you look quite fetching in your white bucks, Mr. Herman 😍

OP, you sound like you were raised in a barn. Really!

That went out with men having to wear hats and women having to wear stockings.

However ladies are still required to wear fabric over their breasts in Salt Lake City.

The rule applies to shoes and handbags.

White pants and white shoes seem out of place in the fall and winter.

@r28, See, first you let them wear white after Labor Day and the next thing you know they're painting their boobs and going to football games. It's the end of social order I tell you

Yes, yes, you can wear your white panties, garters, and stocking set that you so like to get fucked in....

^ just be sure you coordinate it with your chastity cage and your butt plug

No one in California follows this rule as stated above. We don't have seasons. People wear whatever they want, whenever. It's ridiculous in this climate.

Pics please.

In recent tines this “rule” has become an almost cliched shorthand way to make fun of effete snobs. I remember the first time I ever heard it voices was by Niles Crane on “Frasier.”

If one does want to wear whites after labor day, are there any conventions about what KIND of whites? Asking for a friend.

^ Winter white around the holidays is considered acceptable in some circles, but they're NOKD (Not Our Kind Dear)
