Who says you can’t wear white after Labor Day? It’s an age-old question that has no business bothering us in 2019. You can wear white before Labor Day, on Labor Day, after Labor Day, or whenever you damn well please. From mini to maxi, and from opaque to totally sheer—see our favorite white dresses from the W archives for Labor Day and beyond. Rules were made to be broken after all.
