White Essentials You Can Wear Before and After Labor Day

Summer may be coming to a close, but don’t pack away your “summer whites” just yet. These essential white pieces can be worn well beyond 80 degree beach-lounging weather.

The fashion world has long-evolved beyond the yesteryears of not wearing white after Labor Day, but there are still some that believe in the old myth. To help ease those who may be slowing coming to terms with wearing white after Labor Day and to help transition those summer outfits to fall, here are 3 white essentials you can still wear well after sippin’ martinis poolside on Labor Day.

jeans

Is it really even summer if you don’t rock a pair of white jeans? This summer instead of skinny jeans, silhouettes were a bit more baggy. These boyfriend jeans from Lucky Brand were perfect this summer with a pair of Teva’s and a tie-dye tee and will be perfect this fall tucked into a pair of cowgirl boots and a chunky knit sweater.

white tee

I mean, who doesn’t know that white tees are a universal year-round staple? Throw a white tee on with practically anything and you instantly look more polished and put together. White tees were good on their own for the summer, but need a wingwoman for the fall. Insert cardigans and blazers to save the day! To avoid the equivalent of a white t-shirt contest at work, this non-see-through white tee from Heirloom Clothing does just the trick.

JEAN JACKET

The jean jacket is a staple fall transition piece and having it in white is the perfect way to shift from summer to fall. Worn with just about anything on a summer night, you can pair this J. Crew jacket with jeans and a chunky sweater as we move into the cooler months.

These 3 white staples will transition your summer all-white fits into perfect fall drip, so don’t think that all-white outfit you’ll be wearing sipping a pool-side margarita this Labor Day will be the last you’ll see if it.
