Are you wearing white shoes now?

wildcat fan — Sun, 15 Mar 2015 17:33:21 GMT

I noticed the Dyson rep was wearing white shoes today, but I was thinking it's a little early. Some ladies say wait until after Easter or Memorial Day. Growing up in Kentucky, my mom always said we should wait until Derby Day. In the South, I've noticed white shoes come out when the weather is consistently warm.

Do wear white shoes year round? If not, when do you start wearing them?

Not yet here in CT - we still have snow on the ground and it's only in the 20's!!! After the snow is gone, we'll have a month or two of brown and mud. Things don't green up until May.

I don't own any white shoes right now so, no. lol...

I'm planning to buy some white jeans, maybe white slacks, maybe a summery pale dress. I will probably get a pair of white shoes - or maybe multi colored ones that are partly white.

There is no date to start wearing white anymore. That is outdated thinking.

I live in Florida and some people wear white shoes year round here but, other than sneakers, few wear white shoes when it is cold out. If the weather says summer you will see white shoes & sandals no matter what time of year it is.

Outdated thinking or not, I will never wear white pants (don't really wear white shoes) before Easter or after Labor Day. It's how I was raised and anything else just feels wrong.

Not me. Still have at least 8"" of snow on the ground.

The only white shoes I have are NB sneakers. I wore them to the grocery store today. I was lazy - they were downstairs and I didn't want to hike that flight of stairs again to get some loafers.

We've had some days in the mid to upper 70s in the past couple of weeks, so I would wear white shoes on the warmer days if I owned any and wanted to wear them. I have nothing against white shoes, but just haven't found any that tempted me to purchase.

The old rule about no white between Labor Day and Memorial Day is outdated.

I usually only wear white shoes with summery fashions and white pants. I don't follow the Memorial Day to Labor Day rule....that's just silly.

Since it's too cold where I live to wear summertime fashions, I wouldn't be wearing them now. I often wear them after Labor Day when our weather can still be in the 90's.

Here in central NY it snowed last night and it's still snowing. The only white on my shoes is precipitation. Our white shoe season is very short and won't start for quite some time. I did order a bone colored Dooney bag from the ilovedooney website today. It was more than 50% off. Given our short summer season, any white accessories have to be great bargains in order to make them worthwhile.

If I wear white, it's between memorial and labor day.

I have a pair of white shoes, which I wear year round to walk the dog. They're comfy and waterproof and easy to rinse mud off. I don't think I'd wear white shoes as "going out, nice" shoes, ever. White sandals in the summer, when sandals are appropriate, but not white shoes. I think of white shoes as being nurses' shoes.

It's 70 today and I wore my coral sandals. I'm trying to remember if I ever owned a pair of white shoes. I don't think I have.

I don't own any white shoes of any kind. I wear a skin tone, metallic, or printed shoe in place of white in spring or summer.

I'll wear white sandals, but not until after Easter.

No, I don't wear white shoes or sandals as I don't like how dirty looking they become very quickly. I don't wear white pants or jeans and don't own white lingerie either. I own very few white tops or jackets, it isn't my favorite color no matter what time of the year it is.

I wear white sneakers all year but no white shoes until hot weather. I have some cute white sandals, and pretty wedges with wooden or cork (soles/heels?)).

I sometimes wear white sneakers ... does that count? To answer your question not yet. There is still some slosh on the ground.
