I have been on the edge of my seat just waiting for the questions to roll in. And roll in they did!! Majority of them pertained to wearing white during this upcoming winter season. White!!!! White!!!! White!!! Omg, I love it.
1. Can you wear white during the fall/winter season?
2. If you are not wearing white, what other colors can be respectfully worn?
3. What's the deal with no white after Labor Day?
After seeing so many great designers who have fearlessly used white in their F/W 12-13 collections, I am pleased to say YES WHITE IS STILL IN!!! If wearing white just isn't your thing, then there are several other colors that are equally FIERCE!! In my arsenal of color crayons,(... Just Kidding) acceptable shades include but aren't limited to: bone, eggshell, cream, ivory, vanilla, khaki,camel and even gold... YES GOLD!! You can also add loads of texture. I say go for it. Changing things up a bit is fun at any age.
The whole hoopla surrounding no white after Labor Day is a big toss up. Some say it started as a way to separate social classes, due to the fact that most middle and low class citizens couldn't afford to change their clothes several times a year. The wealthy had 2 sets of wardrobes; one for the spring/summer and another for fall/winter. It has also been said that it was just that white got just too dirty to wear because of the weather. And again this goes back to social class status. Working class people wearing white while doing their day to day work just was not ideal to continue to wear white.
