Click here to take this one question survey to answer the question: Is it appropriate to wear white jeans after Labor Day?
Excerpt from an article I read on a blog called "Broken Secrets" about the history of this fashion rule:
"Historically, the rule only applied to white dress shoes and high heels. In the 50s and 60s, the middle class extrapolated this rule to include other clothing. Some believe it was practical advise, since white clothing would be tough to keep clean in the winter. Others say that white clothing was typical dress for members of high society during summer holidays and was too casual for getting back to serious business when summer had finished. In the 1950s, the middle class was growing and they were given simplified rules of high society to help them fit in, including the rule about white after labor day."
