18 ways to break the 'no white after Labor Day' rule

We've all heard the old adage, "don't wear white after Labor Day." Allegedly this piece of advice applies to white jeans, dresses, shoes and even the purses we carry. We disagree. There are plenty of ways to wear white post-Labor Day in a non-tacky way -- even, dare we say, in a fashionable way.

Pair white cords with your favorite sweater and flats this fall for a preppy, polished look, or confidently rock a white wool jacket and stand out among the crowd. Also, white sweaters are always in style, so don't hesitate to add a few choice cable knits to your wardrobe, even after the supposed 'white deadline' has passed.
