Re: It’s That Time of Year...

If I lived in the tropics, I'd have a different opinion. But I live where we have 4 distinct seasons and I wait to wear white pants/skirts after Easter in the spring, and stop wearing white after Labor Day. I will wear white tennies or sneakers in spring and fall, and I wear white blouses or sweaters in winter. But white pants, jeans, suits, skirts are different.

I don't follow "the experts" -- oh no, these are ideas that my mother ingrained in me! She was quite opinionated about seasonal clothing.

The only white bottoms that I own are shorts and a golf skort, so I'd look pretty silly wandering around Michigan in them in October. I will take them along when I head for the beach in a few weeks, and just leave them there until I come back north next spring.

Not a fan of white shoes, sandals or purses, so I've nothing to worry about there. I do have a pair of white golf shoes. Those will probably go south with me as well.

I live in Arizona and those rules don't matter. I don't wear white any time of the year because I just don't like white. Heck, I don't even wear white underwear. But back to the topic at hand. We wear white all year.

@Meowingkitty

Funny you should mention undergarments. I dislike white underwear & bras. I prefer creams, beiges, and even colors.

Interesting. I thought that conversation petered out years ago. I'm genuinely surprised it's still a discussion whether to wear white or not after Labor Day. Wear white anytime. For me, it's the fabric, not the color. White denim jeans - yes. White gauze pants -- no.

Some conversations never go away, because people continue to have different opinions on them. 😉 I realize this one comes up all the time. That’s why I used 😱 in my original post. I am not telling anyone what they can or can’t wear.
