For Western New Yorkers, ‘tis the season for sporting red and blue and blue and gold to your heart’s content. Even if you’re not a sports fan, you could still rock any color of the rainbow you want.

But white? Wearing white should not be allowed in Buffalo, New York. 

It has nothing to do with the whole archaic “you can’t wear white after labor day” rule that Emily Post put in our heads a hundred years ago. Frankly, that etiquette commandment has been ignored for years.

It’s also not because wearing white is usually reserved for a bride on their big day. Even in that case, I would highly consider bucking the tradition and wearing something in a dark color.

Seriously - wearing white in Buffalo could be a massive mistake - and if you should dare attempt it, you’ll live to regret it.

Here’s why.
