One of the biggest fashion debates is over the color white. Tradition is finally meeting its match…the nonconformists. There is a rule that every girl learns when she is little. Never under any circumstance can you wear white after Labor Day or before Easter. This was just one of those rules that you aren’t really sure why it exists but because it was the norm you followed it and didn’t ask why. In today’s world it seems that breaking the usual pattern of society is trending. More and more girls are starting to step out, defy the rules and wear white during the “forbidden I will admit that I was a stickler for this rule growing up. Maybe it’s because I’m Southern and tradition is key in the South. However as times change I’m second-guessing my opinions on this no white rule. Major fashion designers are coming out with lines during the “forbidden time” that includes white. They refer to wearing white during this “forbidden time” as “winter white”. Some of these designers include Miu Miu and Alexander McQueen who both incorporated white into their Fall 2014 collection that was strutted on the runways.Do I think people should start whipping out their white sundresses and white sandals and call it “winter white”? No. However, I am open to maybe an off white colored pant. I am still iffy on white skinny jeans in the winter though. Maybe and I mean maybe, if paired with the appropriate colored blouse or jacket and shoes could someone pull off white skinny jeans during winter but it might be hard to ace this look. And by no means do I think one should paint their nails solid white during the “forbidden time”. First of all I don’t like all white nails…it looks like you just painted your nails with white out. If you think this is trendy and original…it’s not. And to do this during the “forbidden time” is just a double no no. If you want a solid 
winter color opt for nude instead. Nude nails look very chic and way better than white. 
As for shoes I would still veer away from wearing white. One of the only pair of shoes that I would say are timeless in white no matter what season it is would have to be white converses. I know these aren’t the most fashion forward chic shoes but they are super cute just to throw on for any day. I am a fan of the simple everyday white tee for both women and men. For women it is a necessity to own this versatile piece of clothing. You can literally wear it in numerous amounts of looks. I do not care what time of the year it is…a classic white tee is a must.
“There is something about white in winter that oozes confidence,” says designer Michael Kors and I couldn’t agree more! If you want to wear white during the “forbidden time” then I say go for it. With this said don’t just throw on all of your summer whites and look like a dazed and confused fashion convict. When being a “rebel” and wearing white during the “forbidden time” think fashion forward, modern, classic and most of all being you.
