WHITE: How Do You Wear It After Labor Day?

Wearing white after Labor Day is no longer considered gauche. Breaking tradition is infinitely trendier than sticking to the fashion rulebook as long as you do it with style and fashion is all about breaking the rules right? The New York City heat is to thank for this infamous fashion faux pa but the rules are changing and white is in all year long.  It’s the classic, timeless and utmost elegant color one can wear regardless of the time of year. The key to wearing it you’re wondering? Match it to the season you’re in and you’ll be the chicest one in the room.

As autumn is approaching us here in New York I’ll be incorporating some different hues of white in a few different ways. One big way will be through creams; once the leaves start to fall and the sweet, crisp Fall air hits the city streets you’ll be ready to embrace these cozy fabrics. There’s not a better time to wear a white wool or tweed pantsuit or a soft cream cashmere sweater. You’ll be sure to look chic while embracing the changing of the season.

Many people are terrified of wearing white in the winter than the snow, but you shouldn’t be one of them. Embrace that “winter white” and keep warm during this snowy season with a mohair jacket or sweater. Minx, fox, and Mongolian lamb fur were pasted all over everything from jackets to dresses during New York Fashion Week last Spring so why not rock them in white to keep cozy and look like a fashionista?

Although Spring and Summer seem like a million years away, they’ll be here before you know it and it’s never too early to think about what you’ll want to wear as the flowers bloom. As it starts to warm up it’s time to pull out those classic white t’s everyone should have because they’re a perfect go-to. If you’re looking for something a little more sophisticated a three-quartered sleeved white blazer or cotton button down is perfect for the warmer weather.

Pleated skirts in different lengths as well as fabrics such as leather, tropical wool, and linen are always a clean-cut way to wear white in the Springtime as well.

Flash Forwarding to Summer, everyone’s favorite time of year and keep cool in white. Whether it’s through a crop top or a cotton dress you’ll be sure to be dressed to impress. Cotton is a perfect way to keep cool and look clean cut, it could be a romper, shirt, or even a dress. A go to in the summer of mine would definitely be white jeans, they’re perfect for a afternoon lunch to even dressing it up to head out for a late night.

As for accessorizing with white in any season I like to add metallics whether it’s through my jewelry, clutch, belt or shoes just to soften the overall look. Whether you choose to stand out in all white or wearing it more subtly don’t be afraid to wear white after Labor Day.

Now you tell us: What white piece are you rocking after Labor Day?
