I think these rules are occasional good guidelines because of the temperature change, and the changes they have on the psyche. You want to be lighter, cooler in the summer, so you'll wear more light, pastel-y colors. Black is generally perceived as a dark, warm color... it's used more in fall/winter collections.
I like to think of it as more of a color guideline, if we're going to use dates. For example, darker shades of teal, purple, blue, brown are generally reserved for "after Labor Day" because it marks a change in season, to the more cold and darker time of year, and vice versa for memorial day.
Sometimes it's still 100 degrees after Labor Day, so I usually go by the temperature.

It's an old-school tradition that still makes sense. White deflects heat and is thought of as a summer color. The days of hats and gloves are gone, but there is a certain decorum to those old rules. I put away my white pants, shoes and handbags after Labor Day and don't start wearing winter white until after Thanksgiving. Guess I was just brought up that way, but it helps organize the wardrobe too.

No, it not true. You can wear white after labor day. In the Shape magazine or September, they have a article that advice to used white in layer after labor day.

you can wear anything you want, including a dress like Bjork's that looks like a swan---but people who are in the position to hire you frown on that sort of thing. people are extremely petty, so i'd go with not breaking any rules in a situation when it counts

Wear white whenever you feel like it. I don't think most people even pay attention. I doubt anyone would make you go back and change. : )

That is so untrue, in the corporate world, winter white is a must have suit.

That one goes back along way, but I don't believe that it holds true anymore. Not from what I see.
