3 tips to wear white after Labor Day.

Is wearing white after Labor Day a major fashion offense?

Everyone has heard of the age-old fashion tip -- but these days, many say the rule is outdated.

"Throw out the rules of not wearing white after Labor Day weekend and embrace your own personal style," said celebrity stylist Melissa Chataigne.

"Since the temperatures are rising across most of the country, this year focus on white linen and breathable fabrics. You can say farewell to summer by focusing on a monochromatic polished look even into fall."

With a few tips and tricks, transitioning your summer whites is much easier than you think. Better still, recycling spring and summer items for fall and winter is a great way to save money and control your budget.

"Good Morning America" has rounded up some styling tips that will help you make the seasonal transition like a pro.
