LUFKIN, TX (KTRE) -
The first Monday in September means a
day off to observe the final days of summer it also means the end of a popular
summer trend.
After Labor Day wearing white is no
longer fashionably acceptable.
"Typically white was clothing
item you'd wear during the summer because it was lighter and it was cooler to
wear," said Isaiah Harvey.
Historically when people left the city
for summer vacation their clothes were light, bright and comfortable.
At the end of summer when it was time to go
back to work, clothes got darker.
"Whenever you start getting into
the fall you started using darker colors because they are more professional,"
said Harvey.
Since the1900's the rule has been no white
until Easter.
I talked with some local residents to find out
if wearing white after Labor Day is a fashion do or don't.
"I'm wearing white pants tomorrow
just because I honestly don't care," said Jarrod Henderson.
"I don't really follow the not
wear white rule because I don't really understand why it matters that much its
just a color," said Emily Avritt.
Sarah Ferguson works at the Spotted Zebra and
she says fall is the time to get out of your comfort zone.
"You definitely don't want to
wear too bright of colors or neon colors, More darker colors greens, dark
blues, browns you don't want to be too bright in the fall," said Ferguson.
But trying new things may not be for
everybody.
"I'm going to be out wearing my
white pants because they're one of my favorite pairs of pants," said
Avritt.
"I feel like you can wear white pant
anytime its necessary now in these days trends are different and styles are
different," said Harvey.
