This isn’t really a thing. Plenty of people wear white sweaters, coats, etc. in winter.
- eesmith 9y agoThat visit was 15 years ago. Style do change. As https://edition.cnn.com/style/article/labor-day-white-fashion-rules-trnd/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/style/article/labor-day-white-fashio... writes (in 2016): > More recently, fashion magazines have moved away from the rule and regularly put out suggestions on how to wear fall and winter whites. A 2011 People poll shows nearly 60% of respondents would totally wear white after Labor Day, and 30% would consider it, depending on the outfit. That means only about 10% of people thought white was totally verboten. That poll shouldn't be taken as anything more meaningful than to get an idea that it was a thing for some people, even recently. Do you have a better explanation for why I didn't see anyone wearing white in early October in NYC?
