Best Answer

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.

It is a long-standing fashion rule that white clothes should be reserved for summertime. White pants and white linen can seem out of season if worn in the fall or winter.

Nowadays people do not follow the rule so strictly.
