I’m laughing to myself as I start to write this because the title of this post sounds so harsh ?\u00a0I definitely don’t think there are hard rules<\/em> that apply to clothes after Labor Day. With that said, I have my own personal “rules” that I follow, so I thought it’d be fun to swap ideas in today’s post! I had the best time reading through y’all’s comments on my Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/span> story poll yesterday where I asked what your thoughts are<\/strong> about what you should\/shouldn’t wear after Labor Day. This is unsurprisingly a very controversial topic!! Get ready to sit back, relax, and hear what your fellow Collectively Carolina<\/a><\/strong><\/span> readers have to say about this very important<\/em> issue. (lol)<\/p>\n

Exhibit A: This white tie front dress<\/a><\/strong><\/span> from Nordstrom Rack<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. (Currently on sale for $16 and comes in 4 colors – including black<\/a><\/strong><\/span>!) I’m making sure I wear this little baby one last time this week because you won’t catch me in a white dress<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, white shorts<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, or white shoes<\/a><\/strong><\/span> after Labor Day. I also don’t wear seersucker after LD and try to limit the amount of linen I wear! (But to each his own!) For real though, if you like this dress<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, you should get it right now because this is on sale for wayyy less than it was when I bought it. I’m considering getting it in black<\/a><\/strong><\/span> too so I can keep wearing this style until it starts getting too chilly!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s what your fellow readers had to say on the subject (with my comments attached ?)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. “No rules, wear what you want.”\u00a0<\/em>As I said, to each his own! I def have my own rules, but a lot of you said that you don’t!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. “No white below the waist.”<\/em>\u00a0I agree with this and personally don’t wear white pants\/shorts\/skirts or white shoes after LD.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. “No Lilly dresses or shorts in super summery prints. No seersucker or linen. No white jeans, white dresses, or white shoes.”\u00a0<\/em>This is definitely the “classic” southern list of rules. The only exception I make for myself out of this list is occasionally wearing white jeans!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. “No seersucker! I do still wear white in moderation. But no white shoes, either!”\u00a0<\/em>Also agree with this one. I don’t know why you would want to wear seersucker after LD anyways. And I say 100% no to white shoes too!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. “No pastel colors.”\u00a0<\/em>This comment kind of surprised me because I’ve never thought that much about this. Not sure that I 100% agree as far as my own wardrobe goes because I definitely have a pale pink sweater that I love to wear in the fall\/winter!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. “I always hear the ‘no white after Labor Day’ but I love a good winter white? Is that bad?”\u00a0<\/em>No that is not bad!! I also love a good winter white and think it can be really pretty if you do it in the right way. I’m feeling a “How to Wear Winter White” blog post coming in the future…<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. “No white shoes\/pants\/shorts!”\u00a0<\/em>Agreed! Except for white jeans, in my case.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. “I usually stop wearing linen after Labor Day.”\u00a0<\/em>Yep! I feel like this is just a normal thing that happens because it’s starts getting too chilly to wear linen. But let’s face it, there are definitely some 100 degree days in our future in September. I love this orange linen dress<\/a><\/span> and you’ll probably catch me wearing it on a Clemson game day after LD!\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. “I ignore all the white rules. It’s the south and the creation of that rule has no grounds in today’s time!!”\u00a0<\/em>I appreciate this!! Even though you won’t find me with white shoes\/shorts\/skirts on after LD, I like that there are people out there who just ignore it ?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  10. “Just don’t wear white shoes. Everything else goes unless it’s super summery.”\u00a0<\/em>This comment really sums up the “modern” take on the Labor Day fashion rules. I can deal with pretty much anything except for wearing white shoes after LD and I probably won’t ever change my stance on that.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
