Dispelling the Myth: Look Cool All Year Round in White Slippers

Among the most common fashion rules you’ve heard growing up, “Don’t wear white after Labor Day” is definitely on the list. It’s a relic of early 20th century societal whims as a way for the wealthy to distinguish themselves from the have-nots. Here in the 21st century, designers and fashion mavens alike have proven that rule is officially dead.

From moccasins to strappy sandals, we’re here to show you how to look cool in your white slippers all-year round.

Cool as a Cucumber

We traditionally start seeing more white apparel when the weather becomes steamy and the days get longer. After all, it’s the practical thing to do—lighter clothing helps you beat the heat.  Start off the vacation season right in white slip-on shoes with a cork footbed that’ll keep you cool and comfortable during the hot months.

Transition in Style

Transitional weather has settled in and everyone else has abandoned their white wear for more sober tones like brown and burgundy. You, however, are not quite ready to exchange your white slippers because it’s an uplifting color and matches any outfit combination you can think of. Say nay to tradition and enjoy the last rays of warm sun by wearing perforated leather slippers, an olive-green wrap dress and a beige floppy hat.  

Warm and Chic

Whoever invented the “No white after Labor Day” rule has obviously never heard of winter white, that wonderful, creamy off-white color that is reminiscent of freshly fallen snow. Stay cozy as you head to work wearing a pair of shearling-lined moccasins. And since the cold has forced you into confinement on the weekends—and that’s fine with you—keep your spirits high in felt-lined house slippers and a matching housecoat.

Gone are the days when crazy beliefs ruled fashion. Keep it fashion-forward the entire calendar year in white slippers.
