Here at Ranch Road Boots, we believe (some) rules are meant to be broken. If you heard of the “you can’t wear white after labor day” fashion rule like the rest of us, then you must be wondering if not abiding by it is truly a faux pas. So, in short, can you wear white after labor day? Absolutely. We’re in 2020 y’all. And, guess which is our favorite way to wear white post summer days? That’s right, with a banging pair of designer boots.
It is said that this old etiquette rule was made by money elitists to separate themselves from the rest, feel free to dive more into its history in this great article from Marie Claire. Truth is, before air conditioning existed, white was worn more for functionality than style purposes. It was airy and light and often the fabrics worn in the summer were made light in color to avoid trapping heat. Once the seasons started to change, it was no longer necessary to wear white and thus, the rule was born.
In today's modern living, where air conditioning is widely accessible hot or not, we sure do love a winter-white. Let usdelight on all the shades of white post Labor Day—especiallywhen paired with a kick-ass pair of fashionable boots.
We created a few looks to inspire you to wear white all year-roundpaired withthefine leather boots you need to rock each look. You’re welcome.

This outfit was created for casual days out. White straight-leg jeans are a universal piece for all seasons. Paired with a simple t-shirt and leather satchel, and this is the “weekend style” that you will want to wear every day.

This look is our refusal to give up summer for good. Pair a basic pair of white denim shorts with a cute crop top and western belt and you have an instant fashionista-approved outfit. Note, a stand-out hat is a must, and of course, it is not complete unless paired with ourBluebell Feather booties.
