As with many customs and etiquette dictums, it's difficult to pin down the reason behind the prohibition against white after Labor Day. We searched on variations of "
wear white after Labor Day" and sifted through the
Etiquette and
Fashion categories, Originally, the rule was more along the lines of "Only wear
white shoes between Memorial Day and Labor Day." Furthermore, it mainly applied to
white pumps or dress shoes. White tennis shoes and off-white boots seem exempt, as are any shoes worn by a winter bride. "Winter white" clothing (e.g., cream-colored wool) is acceptable between Labor Day and Memorial Day too.
