10 Ways You Can Wear White This Fall
The “you can’t wear white after Labor Day” rule actually started during the 1930s was only created to separate the old money elitists from the new money group. People usually wore white on vacations so it showed the people who were wealthy enough to leave during summer months. The rule is pretty outdated, but some still take it seriously. Honestly white is a fashionable, chic color so why not just ignore the outdated rule and wear it? Here are some ways that you can still incorporate white into your wardrobe after Labor Day!
1. Layer with a white turtleneck.
A white turtleneck is a must-have nowadays as people are using it as the perfect layering piece. You can add a light top over it for fall weather or as it gets cooler, add a jacket! If you live in California like me, having a thin white turtleneck is great as it’s not always super cold out, but not hot enough to wear just a short-sleeve shirt outside.
