Spring “White” Etiquette

By: Chanteau Garrett, Fashion Editor

 

It’s now April 2009 and we can now finally celebrate the season of spring. I’m sure that we have all heard of the rules, “You can start wearing white on Easter,” and “You’re not to wear white after Labor Day.” Furthermore, it also pertains to white pumps and/or white dress shoes. While exempting, white tebbis shoes and off-white boots that are suitable to wear during this time. We know that “winter white” clothing consists of cream colored wools and linens, which is acceptable  between Labor Day and Memorial as well.

 

The logical reasoning behind wearing white is that it reflects light and heat, and wearing white also make you cooler in the winter time.  There is one key chic rule that I would like you to remember when wearing white.

 

Always wear nude color under garments

 

Wearing nude under garments while wearing white ensures that your underwear will be disclosed when wearing pants, dresses and skirts.

 

Try to always stay clean, remember that white does stain easily and there is nothing like seeing children and adults in soiled whites. It takes away from it’s classic, clean and pure look. Make sure that you iron your whites because a wrinkle is immediately recognized and I’m sure that you always want to preserve your sexy as Diddy would say.

It is spring  so enjoy your white, look nice, fashionable and most importantly chic!
