This is a question that has been weighing heavily on my mind for many long days now.

How do other countries know when to stop wearing white, so as to avoid committing one of the most grievous fashion faux-pas known to man?

In the U.S. it's simple. You are allowed to wear white between Easter (the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox) and Labor Day (the first Monday in September). In other countries, it cannot be this black-and-white.

Do they observe the white season from the first day of spring until the last day of summer? Do they use their own Labor/Labour Days as the benchmarks?

In the Southern Hemisphere, is it completely reversed? Do they wear white from Labor Day until Easter?

Is it only Americans who understand and acknowledge that white is a color that cannot be worn year-round? That to wear a white skirt to a fall dinner party would bring on waves of outrage and pity from the fashionistas in the room? If so, the knowledge must be spread. Abuse of the color white must be stopped!

If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, and you are reading this, and you are wearing white, you must take it off right now.

And if you happen to be an attractive male who just stripped out of his white pants, you must take pictures. It's all about spreading the knowledge.
