In light of the upcoming Labour Day and the inevitable debate on which colour of clothing is acceptable to wear after it, we would like to take this time to highlight some reasons why you most certainly should wear white no matter the day.

First off, nothing goes as well with anything as much as white does. You can look to any trend, any pattern, any style and find some presence of airiness in the form of white. Are we all expected to do a style 180 when September 7th rolls around just because of some old rule? I say not. Second, as someone who is constantly in the trap of wearing all black all the time, wearing all white is a nice break. It allows the same sense of simplicity, with a more standout effect as wearing white on white is not the most common thing you’ll see. Also, it conforms with the best thing about wearing all black: everything goes together. Third, and perhaps the most compelling, all white looks really good on almost everyone. There are only a few who steer clear of wearing true whites, but even then a nice off-white/eggshell/ecru shade has the same impact. And when all in as similar a colour as possible, the look is at once minimalistic, unique, and a little daring.

Why daring? Because of the only draw back to wearing all white- ruining it. Wearing white is as an adventure in itself. You will never be more self aware as when you wear all white. Everything you drink or eat is done with most care, standing is preferred to sitting on any surface likely to contain a trace of dirt, and eyesight becomes better than 20/20 when looking for any sight of a stain.

But hey, you’ll damn good while you do it.
