About Labor Day
Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894 under President Grover Cleveland, honoring the American labor movement and the contributions workers have made to the country. It also marks the unofficial end of summer.
Traditionally, it's the last day you're "allowed" to wear white (though that rule is more myth than fashion law, I wear white sneakers into the winter...).
