FashionTALK by He - White After Labor Day

This Labor Day Weekend, someone asked He if wearing white after Labor Day was acceptable. He told this person that as long as it was done properly He sees no reason why not. But to confirm He turned to Lindsay Brooke a Fashion and Accessories Editor and on-air style expert to get her take:

Debunking The “No White To Be Worn After Labor Day” Rule:

Labor Day might mark the end of the summer, but the truth of the matter is that there’s technically a few weeks left of warm weather (despite the rain predicted to last all week).  No need to scramble to get the last wear of your white jeans in.  In fact, as far as I’m concerned, you can wear white year-round when done right.

Whites To Store Away After Summer Ends: chinos, linens, crocheted bags, cotton sweaters, sandals

Whites To Wear After Summer Ends: leather bags, cords, wool or cashmere sweaters, suede or patent pumps

I particularly love wearing my white Les Halles and J Brand Jeans year round.  The best way to do this is to pair your jeans with dark hues.  Think chocolate riding boots and that yummy butterscotch cashmere sweater.  Fall colors look great when worn with crisp white pants.  I’m also partial to an all white ensemble (remember, Winter fabrics), paired with a dark heel or boot.

Go for it, wear your whites all year round!
