Wearing White After Labor Day? Me Too—Here Are My Top White Dress Picks
The old rule of packing away your white clothes after Labor Day is quickly becoming a thing of the past…at least for me. In fact, I always opt for beautiful white dresses for fall over summer. Why? A clean canvas is one of the best wardrobe tricks in the book—including for boot-focused outfits. Whether it’s one for a casual brunch or an elegant option for a formal evening, the styling options are endless.
Brands like Dôen and Self-Portrait are setting the trend with modern takes on this classic color, making it easier than ever to embrace white all year round. So, if you’re wondering where to start—start with your favorite designers. With so many chic options available, there’s no need to shy away from white. In fact, these picks give us more of a reason to wear white after Labor Day.

The Secret To Chic Daytime Style? White
Two Dresses to Spruce Up Your 9-5
White dresses have always been a staple for summer, but they’re also the secret to mastering chic daytime style well into fall. A crisp white piece instantly brightens any look, offering a clean canvas that pairs effortlessly with accessories of all kinds. Two of my favorites are the Self-Portrait Anglaise shirt dress and Aje’s Cohort mini. With their lightweight fabrics and flattering cuts, these styles ensure you stay comfortable and stylish, no matter the occasion.
The best part about rocking white in fall is the accessories. Pair these stunning dresses with neutral sandals like Aquazzura’s Costiera pair or Gola sneakers for an easy, breezy daytime outfit. But if you’re feeling a bit adventurous, go for white heels. A white dress always pairs beautifully with a good pair of designer heels. And yes, you can wear heels during the daytime—just be sure to stick with a 1-2 inch heel.

Transition Into Fall Effortlessly
Part of ditching the white after Labor Day rule also includes ditching the white-for-summer only rule. After all, who came up with that? Laces, backless detailing, and short sleeves are far from summer-only styles. This Khanums dress is one I’ve had my eyes on for a while now. Flattering on any body and definitely versatile, this piece is my new go-to for evening affairs. Its pearl beaded back gives a surprising take for fall—and no one would even know you bought it now. Pair it with neutral footwear and this Tom Ford shoulder bag for an iconic look you won’t forget.
Another favorite find is Free People’s Perfect Storm midi for obvious reasons. Free People is just one of those brands that master white dresses of all styles. While leaning toward a more cottagecore style, this long-sleeve piece is best for daytime activities. Dress it up with the Dôen velvet peep toes and Miu Miu Nastro wallet. This may be a daytime look, but it sure doesn’t have to be boring.
