Ask the Greek God of Style (Vol. 4): When to Wear White
Andy Ingram
Q: Dear Greek God of Style, There is a lot of misinformation on this fashion rule. So when is it truely appropriate to wear white? Do you go by the lunar calendar or the Orthodox calendar?
A: Mr. Misinformation, here is the rule: If your skin is whiter than your clothes then you mustn't wear white . . . ever. Spring, summer, fall, winter? The season doesn't matter if you look good. For example, imagine you have fine olive or mocha colored skin. It would be a crime not to wear white quite often.
It is never appropriate however to wear white tube socks. It is not the 1970's and you are not 10-years-old. Never!
