FASHIONBEANS: Summer is done

Labor Day On Her Way | [Fashion]( [Style]( [Grooming]( [Hair]( [Watches]( [CASH FLOW] It’s inevitable, and whether you like it or not, summer is coming to a close in just a few short weeks. Labor Day is a time that fashion rules once ensured a hard stop. No white after labor day, not until Memorial Day comes back around. Luckily, those rules are considered rather outdated in 2022. Still, as the seasons change, you might want to squeeze the last bit of summer fashion out before things turn chilly. White pants, boat shoes and slip ons, lightweight fabrics… just to name a few of our favorites. What is your favorite thing about summer fashion? THE BEST WHITE JEANS FOR STANDING OUT YEAR-ROUND Aside from politics, blue cheese and the latest Star Wars film, there are few things that can provoke the same furious levels of debate that white jeans can. To some, they’re the epitome of Riviera chic, to others they’re the kind of tacky piece that – along with deep V-necks and rhinestoned hoodies – are best consigned to a large bin. There’s something quite ’80s fashion about white jeans, and that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Channel your inner George Michael in most sartorial matters and you’ll be onto a winner. But how do you avoid looking like you’re on the way to a fancy dress party? “Keep it simple,” says Mr Porter style director Olie Arnold. “Avoid ripped or overly-stressed styles and instead look for a washed denim in a slim-leg fit. Pair your jeans with shirts or T-shirts in warmer tones to avoid harsh color blocking, or try a short-sleeved print shirt for a fresh summer look. Consider footwear that will complement the rest of your outfit too – loafers, boat shoes and or tennis sneakers will keep the look grounded.” As well as wondering how to wear white jeans, those reading this on the US side of the pond might also be worried about style rules that dictate what can and cannot be worn after Labor Day or before Memorial Day. But while light-colored trews are best saved for a dry day, they’re also the trouser most beloved by OG American Rebel Steve McQueen. And you can probably guess what he would say about rules.
