After Labor Day: OK To Wear White?
So surely as temperatures cool and the leaves begin to change color, the question arises: Should the store cupboard white with swimsuits and sun hats?
Traditionally, in the northeast, a dress code was clear: the whites were released after Memorial Day and it was after Labor Day. Fashion historian Bronwyn Cosgrave remembers how, growing up, "You had a short season to wear white."
But in an age of Lady Gaga, seems something to do. (We try to dress meat.) From rule obsolete and yet who continue to cause a cabinet crisis in late summer. "Thou shalt not wear white after Labor Day" has increased by 2000% in Yahoo searches. Fashionistas also looked up "why not wear white after Labor Day" and "no white after Labor Day "in the last week.
The issue spilled on the web. Fashion forum was contradictory. A blogger for trading on the Zappos has warned that white should not be worn "below the belt" after Labor Day
Another warning against white shoes (although LaJollaMom be approved white Manolo Blahnik boots Neiman Marcus, if you can swallow the price tag of $ 1695.)
As we are stuck in this rut of anti-white? Curator of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), Kevin Jones says that everything started to American high society, who dressed in period - the social season.
"If it's summer, not in the city, is at his country home," said Jones. The popular choice, white cotton clothes, the reflected light and stays fresh. Jones adds: "Once the season ends, the bedding changed." Back in town for the fall, women in long skirts in the dirty street, changed his dark clothes heavier fabrics.
Nice lifestyle if you were a part of it. But for the rest of us and the world of fashion, times have changed - and the rule does not really apply. Even in the 2004 book "Emily Post Etiquette, 17th Edition" says that it is to wear white after Labor Day.
Still not convinced? Let Colleen Sherin, senior fashion director for Saks Fifth Avenue, offers some advice. From his office in New York, it provides buyers, "There are really no rules. It is simply to make them fit." Translation: It's not what you wear is how you wear: Sherin suggests winter white jeans in the summer with boots, no sandals, and a jacket instead of a tank top.
"This is the way to piece together what makes the job of watching all year," he adds. The store is promoting more like "Winter White" in the colder months, like a suit and a fake fur coat in the shadow of the snow.
Cosgrave, the historian of fashion, fashion is really I think I have a "white moment." She says, "dressed in white is timeless." Thus, no seasons, pointing to the beautiful white dress inaugural ball used by First Lady Michelle Obama in 2009. And the Oscar winner Marion Cotillard has rocked a white mermaid gown when she accepted her Academy Award.
But you do not have to be a first lady or a movie star to break white domination. "Anything that can break the domination of blacks, in my opinion, she presented," said Cosgrave.
