This is always a fun debate! Personally, I think it's unseasonal to rock white after Labor Day. Besides, it makes white more fun to wear because you can only wear it for part of the year. But either way you go, here are three tips for making white work with my made in USA fashion finds.
If you're looking for the perfect pair of white denim, we suggest Level99 jeans. It is so hard for me to find jeans that fit well. I got to try on six pair of jeans from Level99 and five of them fit me well without any alterations! I couldn't me more happy with the fit, style, and wear of these jeans. I love the The Janie jeans which are a skin tight, form fitting, high rise pair of jeans. They really slenderize you through the hip area. To add more of an “edge factor” to these white jeans, they added distressing down the legs with a raw hem, making them an updated and modern way to wear white denim.
How to Wear White After Labor Day
1. Accessorize well. Since white isn't slimming, let your jewelry do double duty. Don't miss our source list for made in USA Jewelry!
- Pick a long necklace to create the illusion of length. We love this necklace from ARMENTA.
- Select earrings that stand alone well and draw attention up toward your face. We love these glass beaded earrings from Miguel Ases.
2. Add color. I love this Karen Kane Tunic Tank. Here's why:
- You can easily transition the top day to night, depending on what shoes you wear and how you accessorize.
- Add even more color by adding a bright jacket or sweater.
3. Create height.
- Select shoes that give you height and stand out against white. We love these Sbicca wedges. Don't miss our list of made in USA shoes for more options!

I always WANT to wear white after Labor Day, but I feel so uneasy, I usually don't. Old habits are hard to break!
My recent post The sophisticated way to wear a Peter Pan collar this fall!
I'd say yes. Whats the big deal?
White is not conducive to fall/winter light….try walking outside in white shoes with snow on the ground! See how they disappear.
It was a hard rule for me to break, but now I embrace it! I think it looks great with other soft neutrals (cream, gray, tan) for an elegant look, or I go graphic with black booties and a black turtleneck!
Unfortunately, white is not a good “color” for me, as I tend to find some way to spill something on it or stain it immediately. So not wearing white after labor day is easy for me. Thanks for the write-up.
I love the fun of bringing out white clothes in the late spring! I do wear white tops, scarves, mittens, etc., but not white skirts, pants, dresses. Also, I do love winter white, and have items I do wear in winter white in winter (not fall or spring).
I often wear white after Labor day because I have some white sweaters I really like to wear in the fall.
Nope. I always feel funny…
I grew up being told it was just white *shoes*….I don’t ever buy white shoes, so not really a problem. White isn’t exactly my color due to being so warm toned, but I do love to wear white sweaters in the winter.
Normally I do not wear white slacks or shoes after labor day. I do wear white shirts and sweaters.
I used to wear white jeans with boots any time of year, but haven’t in years now. I probably would, but I think I don’t fit into them anymore, and don’t want to try to confirm my suspicions, as I would probably eat a pint of ice cream to feel better!
I say yes! Who cares about silly rules? If it looks good, wear it.
I’ve never really understood why you’re not supposed to wear white after Labor Day. Of course, now they have ‘Winter white’ so I guess the old rule doesn’t apply, lol.
