How about when it's 37 degrees in February?

White sneakers are always the exception!

Why yes or Why not?

Silly "rule". Wear white whenever you want to and yes always white sneakers.

No, it doesn’t hold true even in Florida unless you are among a group of fastidious elderly ladies living in high rise condos on the beach in Miami and dreaming of shopping again in NYC while their husbands salt away millions on Wall Street. The same people who make rules against wearing golf shirts and shorts and caps unless you are actually on the golf course. They also say women should never wear leggings instead of pants, and no one should wear clothing advertising brands or with “clever” says on them, and many more. We are in The Villages. It’s thoroughly middle-class, sometimes with delusions of grandeur. It’s about comfort here, golfing, drinking, dining, dancing, being free of lots of social rules. Especially the stupid rule about when you can wear white. But one thing I ask you not to ever do is get a tattoo. I’ve never seen a tattoo as attractive as the skin underneath it. If you need to remember a name or date or wise saying in some foreign language, don’t get a tattoo so you don’t forget. Put it in needlepoint and hang it on your wall.

I wear white whenever I want to. The wear white rule of Memorial Day thru Labor Day has long been disregarded.

But……..we front-of-the-boom women did a lot of things our mothers told us not to do. We came of age on the cusp of some real change.

Personally, I would not wear my white jeans or shoes in Cincinnati after Labor Day. But in TV when it is really hot, I might think about it……

Cowboy hats are included as well. Black after Labor Day. White after Memorial Day.

This whole thing was a stupid idea in the first place and why anyone would bother to follow it is beyond me. Do YOUR OWN THING!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll wear white after Labor Day. I'll also step on a crack, pick up a tails up penny, and put ketchup on a hot dog in Chicago. What I won't do is pass a salt shaker hand-to-hand.

[richdell]

I wear white underwear. Does that count?

[chrissy2231]

I'm my own drummer & DO NOT follow ridiculous rules-I wear white all year long!

[Pres1939]

Just wear what you like! Why be concerned about this, considering what the country is currently facing?

[BumpaOompa]

OP, you are really old school!! What does the Farmer’s Almanac tell you to do?
