I frankly hope that you'll abandon any and all "fashion rules." No whites after Labor Day? Why the h*** not? No shorts after Labor Day? Why the h*** not?
When you begin living in a place where people often don't even wear long pants to funerals, then I think you've earned the right to be casual!
At first, I was appalled at the informality, but now basically endorse it! On t'other hand, I still go to funerals wearing a tie and jacket! Some folks may think I'm "stuffy."
