The history behind this arbitrary dress code is not only unconvincing, but incredibly classist.
Coco Chanel in 1969, sticking it to those 19th-century mean girls."There are always people who want to attribute everything in etiquette to snobbery. There were many little rules that people did dream up in order to annoy those from whom they wished to disassociate themselves. But I do not believe this is one of them."
The true reason could be much simpler. After Labor Day—the first Monday of September—became a federal holiday in 1894, it came to symbolically mark the end of summer. Vacationers packed away their breezy white dresses and linen button-downs in favor of darker-hued clothing, like navy suits and gray sweaters."There used to be a much clearer sense of re-entry," explained Steele to.
Plus, for those who had money and could leave the city during warmer months, white was considered vacation attire, with city dwellers more often sticking to dark colors. White linen suits and Panama hats were considered the"look of leisure." But regardless of how this subjective rule really came about, no one in 2022 should feel the need to follow it. Wear whatever color you want! Life is too short―and fashion is too fun―to care about what other people think.
