My co-worker posed this question to me yesterday. Is it still taboo to wear white shoes after Labor Day, which is not only the holiday to celebrate the workforce, it’s the “unofficial” official end to summer. I mean pools close, the seasonal businesses close… y’all know the drill.

My thought is this… in the Southern U.S. where it’s still hot, it’s not terrible. In the Northeast, well it’s chilly up here… so white shoes just look wrong.

Me?? I just can’t get past the old “rule” that one does not wear white after Labor Day…I also put away my linen… although in the case of linen, I am not sure why….

At any rate, what do you think? Fashion Do or Fashion Faux Pas?
