Real Problems, Should We Wear White After Labor Day?

August 20, 2020 · Lifestyle

The dilemma of whether to wear white after Labor Day has been a discussion for a long time. I remember my Mom telling me that I shouldn’t wear white clothes or shoes before Memorial Day or after Labor Day, but why? I never questioned it until now! What is the reasoning behind the so-called “rule”?

It started way back in the early 1900s when the elite would leave the city for their summer homes out in the country. It was a time when the elite wore formal clothing and there were strict guidelines regarding what was appropriate to wear as the seasons changed.

Summers were hot and wearing white was a sign that you were wealthy enough to purchase clothing that would keep you cooler in the summer months. Wearing white was a summer-specific social statement for the time. Pre-AC days, wearing white meant that you could afford it. Major statement!

Labor Day was deemed the last day you could wear white because on Labor Day most people were coming home from their vacation homes and back to the city. There has always been one famous person that famously wore white all year round, Coco Chanel. She was ahead of her time.

So, what is the rule today? For the most part, most women wear what they are comfortable wearing. The consensus is that yes you can wear white after Labor Day, wear what’s appropriate for the weather, season, or the occasion. I think since I am living in the south and it stays fairly warm most of the year I will wear white when I have an opportunity but I think it is going to take some time getting used to it.

What do y’all think, white after Labor Day?

Planning on moving soon? ๐Ÿก I have recently been on both sides, getting my house ready to sell and scouring the market for a new home.

โ€ข
I debated sharing this most recent storm with yโ€™all but I thought some of you might eventually notice a change in scenery! My husband found out in February that his company was going to eliminate his entire department. Unfortunately he has not been able to find a new job in the Charleston area. We were blessed that he was offered a position with a new company in the St Petersburg, Florida area. So as much as we love Charleston and had long term plans here we will be moving. ๐Ÿก
โ€ข
Things that I know for sure:
โœจ God has something different planned for us and we need to trust in his plan. ๐Ÿค
โœจ I can handle a lot more stress then I ever thought I could. 
โœจ Things could always be worse, we have our health. 
โœจ People judge, they think they know what is going on but they really have no idea. So let them judge and think they โ€œknowโ€ but only one opinion really matters and He sees your heart. ๐Ÿ•Š Just keep shining โœจ
โ€ข
So stay tuned friends! Lots of changes are coming in a very short period of time! Weโ€™ve got this! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป
