After Labor Day we all have the question, can I still wear white? This is a valid question but the short answer is: You can wear white year round, but it is necessary to be intentional. Wearing white should look different than it did during summer. White can be worn selectively all year long. Labor Day signals the end of the fabulous summer season. This offers us the well timed opportunity to box up the white linen sun dresses and cut off shorts.

If it pertains to a white sundress, then by all means, save it until next summer. The weather may still be warm but it is a reminder that fall is approaching and closed toed shoes are now more appropriate with sweaters becoming more and more However, white denim paired with black leather essentials can be worn year round.
