Slow news day, huh? <br />It's Labor Day, and my white jeans are freshly washed and ready to wear again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344950 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 02:19:56 +0000 Gigi 1344950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a bit of a conformer on this one—but just a bit. I wear my white jeans for the *warmer* days after Labor Day, but when the weather starts getting cooler, I pull out my cream skinnies. (But I'l have to see what happens this year...I think I have gained too much weight to fit into the cream jeans! Ack!)</p> <p>For some reason, I am extremely sensitive to color and temperature. When the weather starts cooling off, my white jeans just seem to "cold" for me, I think because bright white usually has a bit of a blue tint to it. So I naturally start gravitating toward cream, which feels "warmer" to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344945 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 02:11:39 +0000 Marley 1344945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White jeans r a staple in my wardrobe year round - thanks to Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344892 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 01:25:54 +0000 Windchime 1344892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just back from a lovely day with my sister who lives an hour away; checked my post and saw all the replies; obviously we have definite opinions about the matter! I enjoyed reading all your responses.<br /> PARSLEY--It's always the right time of year for white wine!<br /> JOY--LOL about lack of rebellious leanings.<br /> ALANA-- If you track down the origin of the No White After Labor Day rule, let us know; I'm curious.<br /> MSMARY--Maybe you can celebrate the completion of your new home with a white-out outfit.<br /> As for me, white or cream jeans are on my fall shopping list. 'Nuf said. :)<br /> Although without the inspiration of this community, it wouldn't occur to me to wear white bottoms into the fall, much less winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344786 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 23:18:09 +0000 Caro in Oz 1344786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who makes these rules &amp; more importantly why do people feel the need to follow them?

I'm keeping an eye out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344688 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 20:13:22 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1344688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet the person who came up with the white jeans rule was the same guy who came up with the silly rule about not splitting your infinitives....</p> <p>I kinda like the idea of being more seasonal with my colors, but maybe that's because I live in an area without dramatic seasons and I miss it. And I tend to prefer cream to white anyway, especially when it's not summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344667 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 19:23:58 +0000 Makrame 1344667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. I enjoyed wearing BR cream skinnies with brightly colored cashmere sweaters (and light brown boots) this winter. &nbsp;Worked well to bring some variety to&nbsp;the Polar Vortex&nbsp;dressing. &nbsp;I was wondering whether I should take a break from white jeans for a while and switch to fall colors so that the white or cream jeans would feel fresh again in winter. &nbsp;But at the same time I am tempted by the white jeans/cognac shoes pairing for fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344648 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 18:47:57 +0000 Inge 1344648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344612 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 17:48:59 +0000 Alana in Canada 1344612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who the heck ever made this rule?

If the Today Show folks are still talking about white after Labor Day, you can bet that when you wear those white jeans in the snow, a certain subset of the population is going to think you're doing it wrong. </p> <p>Not that I think anyone should care, really--just that what we wear is always colored by social convention, even when those conventions are changing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344598 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 17:20:11 +0000 Suz 1344598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! I just <b>START</b> wearing my white jeans after Labour Day! &nbsp;</p> <p>Seriously -- it is shorts for most of the summer. The jeans start coming out to play again around now. Can't wait!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344593 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 17:13:30 +0000 jennifer 1344593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wearing white isn't about what day on the calendar for me but what my tasks are for that day. If I know I'm going to be doing grubby jobs that day then it's not likely going to be a whites day( or the day after will end up being a whites LAUNDRY Day!).<br /> I plan on pairing white jeans with cognac and deep reds,oranges, and olive greens for some fab Autumn combos. I just need it to cool down a bit to wear pleather jackets and furry vests! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344586 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 16:57:12 +0000 Karie 1344586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore white and will wear it year round!

Working the look is tempting because my only pair is Kuts which are fairly thick denim and therefore a good mild fall weight. If so I like really fall- ifying with fall colors and textures, in contrast with my summer pinks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344573 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 16:29:36 +0000 Jules 1344573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might be giving them up. I'm already seeing a shift to fall clothes here, although we are having some of our hottest weather yet this year. My S/S and F/W palettes are quite different, so it'd be an effort to work them in. I enjoy having two wardrobe personalities and am usually quite sick of my summer wardrobe by the end of August. I've admired some fall white jeans looks on here but I don't have the supporting pieces. Will see if they find their way into my F/W shopping for other reasons.<br /> I get that it's not a rule I *have to* follow, but I might choose to nonetheless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344565 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 16:18:25 +0000 viva 1344565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wearing white jeans today and will probably wear them tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/today-show-doesnt-read-ylf#post-1344558 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 16:10:24 +0000 Adelfa 1344558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week when I wore my white jeans to work a colleague said, "Are you trying to get in wearing your white jeans before Labor Day comes?"
