White after labor day? Many designers have started to show that white is perfect for any time of the year, and all occasions. Going out for a coffee? Wear white. Eating Italian food? Obviously, wear white. Attending one of those paint and sip parties that’s really just an excuse to drink wine? Wear white. Let’s take a look at all the different ways to wear white this season.
