What is the reason behind not wearing white after Labor Day?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is a cultural tradition, which like all fashion statements has little practical value.
White is often worn in summer as light coloured cloth stays cooler in warm weather than darker coloured cloth. Unfortunately any dirt shows up quite visibly on white cloth. However after labour day you are getting into cooler Autumn weather, and therefore you want to wear darker colours.

When is Labor Day celebrated as a legal holiday?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are asking why it is a paid holiday, it is not a paid holiday for all workers. Whether a worker is paid for that day depends on a lot of different factors. If you are asking why it is a holiday, the workers in this country orignally celebrated May 1, or May Day, as an international holiday celebrating the lives of all working people all over the world. It is still celebrated in other countries on May 1. The capitalists in this country did not want their workers thinking that they had things in common with workers in other countries. So they had the political leaders of the U.S. make the first Monday in September Labor Day. They then changed May Day to Law Day.
