Did your mom say you can't wear white before Memorial Day?

Is that a Midwest US thing? When I was younger, my mom always told me you couldn't wear white dresses or pants before Memorial Day. Do people still say that?

I never did ask her if that applied to underwear. 馃

My mom used to say no white before Memorial Day or after Labor Day. But that only applied to my sisters.

Mine used to say it. I told her to hit the trail and Id wear whatever I want when I wanted to.

@SW-User Did she hit the trail? Did you ever see her again?

Might be a Midwest thing I guess. I've heard my mom, wife & daughters all mention it at different times.

Not a Midwest thing
Mom and grams would yell at me when I did
Also would yell if I didn't have enough cloths on

does red underwear apply for a funeral...lol i hope not
lilcountrygrl36-40, F
@celine211 Well... you should probably wear something over it. Unless the funerals you go to are a LOT better than the ones I've been to!

@Deadcutie no what? No, she never said that or no, it's not a fashion thing anymore?
