Why can’t you wear white after Labor Day?

The "you can't wear white after Labor Day" rule was reportedly created to separate the old money elitists from the new money group.

As more people became millionaires, it was difficult to distinguish between respectable old money families and those considered new money.

By the 1880s, to tell who was acceptable and who wasn’t, the women who were already “in” felt it necessary to create dozens of fashion rules that everyone in the know had to follow.

"It [was] insiders trying to keep other people out," Valerie Steele, director of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, told Time in 2009, "and outsiders trying to climb in by proving they know the rules."

White was considered vacation attire for people who had money and could leave the city during warmer months.

"If you look at any photograph of any city in America in the 1930s, you'll see people in dark clothes," Charlie Scheips, author of American Fashion, told the outlet.

"There used to be a much clearer sense of re-entry," explained Steele.

"You're back in the city, back at school, back doing whatever you're doing in the fall - and so you have a new wardrobe."
