Can you believe September is already here and Labor Day is behind us? We are officially heading into fall (even if it’s still hot here in Houston). I’m sure you’ve heard this tale as old as time… you cannot wear white after Labor Day. Well we’re here to tell you it’s okay to break the rules. We have long let go of the idea that we can’t wear white after Labor Day. Of course, transitioning into fall means we will be embracing those orange and brown tones that usually accompany the fall season. However, white will not leave the rotation! Keep reading to learn more about how to wear white after labor day and shop white clothing & accessories for fall.

How To Wear A Basic White Top Paired With Neutrals
White pairs perfectly well with neutrals! We advise to start with the popular “coastal grandmother” aesthetic, but add in some touches to make it fall-appropriate. These touches could be long-sleeves, pants, scarves, hats, or any cold-weather accessory your heart desires. Everyone needs a basic white top (a short-sleeved and a long-sleeved version)….can never have too many white shirts in your closet! Best to pair this with other neutrals like khaki, beige, straw, off-white or quickly becoming a favorite neutral, olive green. Check out our recommendations to achieve this “white and neutral” look here:

How To Wear White Contrasted With Bold Neutrals
Fall welcomes darker colors like black, brown, navy, and grey into our wardrobes. Pairing white with these colors creates a nice color block effect. These types of outfits are perfect for your fall transition wardrobe, as the whites add a touch of summer and the darks bring in a feeling of fall. So, while the temperature may not change in Houston for another month or two, you can still incorporate the autumn aesthetic into your wardrobe with picks like these:

Wearing White Shoes & Accessories After Labor Day
We always say here at MyRedGlasses that the easiest way to get into a trend is to start with shoes and accessories. Starting small is the simplest way to start! Luckily, white shoes and accessories go with pretty much everything. It has become an accepted fact, world-wide, that more and more each season, white tennis go with everything for day or night wear. (skirts and dresses are the newest and most popular companion for wearing white sneakers, not just for uber casual wear any longer!) That’s why it’s easy to layer into whatever color palette already lives in your closet. We’ve done the hard work for you and gathered a perfect starting point to achieve the white look of your dreams:
