I believe Michael Kors said that was okay last winter and denim is a thicker, year round fabric. Seersucker and Linen are two fabrics left to summer along with short shorts. Longer shorts are acceptable as long as the weather permits.
I work in human resources interviewing college grads for jobs with a big oil corporation. Yes, I do look at the clothes these recent graduates are wearing. White, Linen, seersucker, etc are not appropriate outside of the summer months when it is just too hot to wear anything else.
I understand that many young women want to be their own person and allow their own fashion flair to show through. But us old ladies are still doing the hiring after college.
And while I'm preaching, visible tattoos are still taboo! Many qualified college grads are being passed up for corporate positions because they like to buck the system.
Sorority girls spend a great deal of time and effort into perfecting their resumes and taking on leadership positions. Why shouldn't they perfect their fashion sense at the same time.
Please excuse the typos. Auto correct is killing me tonight.

So you'd disqualify a candidate for wearing white after Labor Day, even if she had an impeccable resume and looked perfectly presentable?
Aren't we now taking this a bit too far?
