How To Wear White After Labor Day Over 50
The fashion industry has a way of turning personal style into a long list of rules—wear this, don’t wear that, retire this color by a certain date or risk looking out of style. Insert eye roll.
One of the oldest is the idea that you shouldn’t wear white after Labor Day. Ignore it.
White doesn’t suddenly stop working in your wardrobe because summer is over. It’s a year-round color and, especially in fall, it can be one of the easiest ways to create a chic outfit.
What changes with the season isn’t whether you wear white—it’s what you wear with it.
In summer, you might pair white with linen, sandals, and other lightweight pieces. For fall, those same whites can be surrounded by richer colors, heavier textures, and seasonal layers. The color stays—the rest of the outfit brings it into fall.
This color appears throughout every Fall Capsule Wardrobe eBook. Instead of packing it away with your summer clothes, you’ll see how to keep wearing it in your fall wardrobe and how different pieces, colors, and layers can completely change the way it looks.
Here are a few outfit ideas to show you just how chic white can look in fall—and how easily it can earn a permanent place in your wardrobe beyond Labor Day.
