When thinking about Labor Day fashion, the first thing that comes to mind is probably that it’s the last day you’re “allowed” to wear white. As that is more of a suggestion than a hard and fast fashion rule, the actual most important Labor Day fashion tidbit is that it’s a great time to update your wardrobe.
