From AskYahoo:

"Originally, the rule was more along the lines of "Only wear white shoes between Memorial Day and Labor Day." Furthermore, it mainly applied to white pumps or dress shoes. The only logical reasoning we could find cited temperature. Image consultant Nancy Penn suggests that because white reflects light and heat, wearing white would make you cooler in winter, and thus should be avoided. But others suggest the rule stems from a class issue. Acting Director of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology Valerie Steele notes that in the late 19th century and the 1950s, more people were entering the middle classes. These nouveau-riche folks were often unaware of the standards of high society, so they were given specific codified rules to follow in order to fit in."

Today, the rule has been thrown out (by some -- see second link), but others will still think you are a geek if you do it (see third link!)

It replaced into actual you could in straightforward words positioned on iciness white after exertions Day. (iciness white has merely the smallest hint of blue so that's brighter than common white) yet that rule is so out-of-date now. i have also heard that you're able to no longer positioned on white shoes after exertions Day as they were considered for spring in straightforward words yet that is no longer valid anymore both.

It is called traditional wisdom. White is summer only. You can wear winter white and it is real pretty. Break the tradition if you wish. We don't have fashion police, only snobby people.
