Jenny asks…
What does it mean for a work dress code to say Semi exposed heels?
Just wondering lol.
Our pick of the answers:
Semi-exposed heels probably refers to women's sandal-type shoes that have a strap which goes behind the heel, as opposed to pumps that cover almost the entire foot (including the entire heel).
Sandra asks…
Why do women say to only wear white during certain times of the year?
When is the correct time? Please time me WHY the season matters for wearing white... Please, please, please. No one can answer this for me, not even my female freinds.
Our pick of the answers:
Other than cultural and fashion reasons, white is often worn during the summer (it reflects most light and avoids overheating), whereas black and darker colours are more insulating for the winter. As for the 'no white shoes after labour day' rule, that seems to have its roots in issues of class. White gloves tended to be worn by women 'of class' as did the matching shoes and gloves that went with them. Wearing these remnants of a classist society straight after labour day could be seen as ignoring everything it stood for/ being insulting. This 'rule' was taken very seriously in the past but now it is largely forgotten. On a more practical note, wearing white shoes after labour day (the symbolic end of summer) might be seen as a faux pas for the simple reason the white shoes would be unlikely to go with the more drab winter wardrobe (the dark insulating colours) and look out of place / unfashionable. White pumps were particularly looked down upon, once again because they were unpractical for winter weather. The fact that brides and sportsplayers were excempt suggests this was mainly a practicality/ fashion rule instead of a strict code of ettiquette.
