When can I wear white pants in Europe?

While there is no Labor Day rule, you will find few if any locals wearing white -- at least not white pants, skirts, capris and ESPECIALLY not shorts -- in major European cities, even in summer. In Fall, they will dress for Fall even when it is still warm.

Lutèce. Just to reiterate - white trousers are fine anywhere, not just in port, if the weather is warm enough. ALL my summer trousers are white and I wear them until it's really too cold. I even wear them with a light sweater if it's beginning to get chilly in the evenings.
