I'm Northern and I would never wear white shoes after Labor Day. It has nothing to do with north vs. south...it's a basic fashion rule.

Thanks, 33! I was wondering if this was still another of my mother vs. northern society problems I have.
And trust me, there are many!

If anything, it should be observed MORE in the North, as I think part of the reason is that you don't want your white shoes to get gross in the snow/slush.

i used to laugh at the "no white after labor day" rule until i moved to the midwest for school and found that when it snows it makes EVERYTHING disgusting, now it makes sense and i follow it simply to keep things from being ruined. i think it must have started in the regions where it snows then just progressed to the rest of the country.
i dont always follow the rules about my shoes not being lighter than my clothes, but i also don't wear true white..i hadnt heard that rule until just now

I do think it is more widely observed nowadays in the south - someone should make a poll!
