9 White Hot Looks You Should Wear After Labor Day (PHOTOS)
Ok, really serious question here: Do you or don't you believe in wearing white after Labor Day has come and gone? Some nix the hue after the holiday like it's the law -- and you do not mess with the law. Others seem to think the unwritten decree is flexible. They're all yup, my tan faded months ago now STFU and check out my creamy white tee. Ugh. Can't choose? Let me help.
Why not wear white after the three-day weekend? It isn't strictly reserved for bronzed skin and sunkissed faces. Um, hello, snow is white, guys. If Mother Nature can pull off the style (and y'all know she can be a big B) I think we'll be alright to try it too. The color is clean, sophisticated, elegant, and refreshing. Not to mention totally on trend.

Casual Dresses
Depending on the vibe of your office space, this dress might be better for a Saturday afternoon stroll. Though it's an off-white shade, just add an oversized denim top and military boots.

Sweaters
Maybe don't wear this when you're about to dive into a helping of homemade spaghetti and meatballs, but definitely do wear it over a fitted collared shirt and a pair of skinny jeans. Add a touch of glitz with a printed pair of flats.

White Flats
Not totally white -- but 'bone' is a really hot color this season and designers everywhere are right on the heels of this trend. Here's a recommendation, though: Wear these cute flats early on in the fall season, before rain and mud and dare I say it -- snow! -- can ruin a perfectly good pair of shoes.
ALDO Shoes, $70.00
