    Default Does anyone wear white capris in Dec in WDW?

    We leave in 1 day 18 hours and I am finally getting around to packing. Just wondering if I should pack my white capris. They have a tiny bit of black trim and I really like them. Is white a definite NO in December, even in Florida?

    I truly wouldn't worry about it! 1) you're on vacation! Do what you want! 2) you'll see MUCH bigger faux paus than that, so don't stress about it!

    Be comfortable, be happy, and wear white!

    We wear shorts and go swimming in December (in Florida) I think you will be fine.
    The fashion police go on vacation too!

    White is not off limits anymore. It's acceptable any time of year...especially in Florida. Watch any fashion show on TV, and they'll say the same thing. Heck, I even just bought a brand new WINTER dress coat in.....SOLID WHITE! (Got it at White House/Black Market). White is not just a summer color anymore. I also love to wear white and bright colors in the winter up here in the north, because it sure can get dreary with no leaves or flowers growing.

    Lord knows I drive my DH nuts with my wardrobe. Everything has to be perfect, and totally in style. My outfits have to always match, even if running to the corner store. I'm kind of a fanatic about that.

    I wore white capris last December, and I'll be wearing mine again this December. I love them, and don't want to leave them at home.

    Wear white proudly! People won't even notice you being comfy. The strangest thing I saw was a lady walking in Epcot with heels, stockings and a mini skirt up to there hobbling around on feet that must have been aching after pounding the concrete for hours in stillettos.

    Trust me, I have always been a very careful person when it came to wearing white, I still am. I wear white between Memorial Day and Labor Day, no other time!!! Except when I am in Florida, and I will wear white pants or capri's or whatever when I am there in January. I always make the exception for Florida, because you can wear white all year around down there!!!! I have seen so many fashion no no's when at DW that it becomes a game to see how many goofy get-ups I can pick out!!! Just when I think it can't shock me anymore, someone totally takes the cake!!!!

    I was going to say absolutely not, but then I thought about all of the sloppiness that I see when I'm on vacay, so forget that. I'd rather see someone in white capris than a dirty, holey old T-shirt any day!

    White can be a nice color for Christmas! (Think snow!)

    If my white capris fit me, I would probably want to wear them in Dec. too!

    If you do, just make sure you don't get lost when it starts snowing for the Osborne lights! Seriously though, you should have no problems at all. As mentioned before, the fashion police are definitely not at Disney World. Boy some of the outfits, or lack there of, are scary! Like the grizzly bear in a tank top last year whose crack caught more attention than the fireworks! And his shorts were really short running shorts (not during any sports events) and looked like he had falled out of Kali River Rapids and rolled in the Elephant mud pits! Sorry, bad memories. White capris will be fine.

    Every single show on TV about what to wear, makeovers, fashion, etc say that all the rules about wearing white are dumb and antiquated. Wear what you want WHEN YOU WANT. i live in Florida and wear white shorts all year long.

    I wore my white capris in Dec. when we went. Don't think it really matters in Fla. and besides your on vacation - I don't think the fashion police will be following you around - they have much bigger fish to fry like the ones who are wearing high heelswhile tromping around the Magic Kingdom!

    I hate to rain on everyone’s parade, but personally, I would not wear white capris in December, even in Florida. Yes, plenty of people wander around WDW wearing absurd things, but that doesn’t mean I am going to do it too.

    I lived in Florida for many years and still live in a very warm area and have always tried to wear seasonally appropriate fabrics and colors. There is nothing wrong with capris, but why not khaki or black, instead of white or spring colors? I guess its different for those of us who are trying to actually have fall or winter clothes when its not really cold outside, but I wouldn’t even consider it this time of year. I do think that the old “rules” are outdated in terms of the exact dates for wearing white, (ie- if its 90 degrees a week before Easter I might break out my white skirts even though its against the “rules“) but its December! Summery, white clothes just don’t say “Happy Holidays” to me.

    I guess I am in the minority on this one and I know I’m an extreme fashionista (I give a lot of thought about what I wear to the grocery store or Target) but I just cant support white this time of year! If this is a question you are thinking to ask and are concerned about then you will probably be happier wearing something else. On the other hand, if you are really comfortable in these capris, pack them and see how you feel when you get there. Either way, have fun!

    Donald duck is in serious trouble according to this thread!..Maybe that's why he's so hard to find in December! Seriously I may buy white pants for my whole family just to see how many people we can upset on vacation.

    Two of my girl friends are coming with me in 13 days. I warned them that while I am on vacation I go for comfy and casual. Not sloppy or messy, just comfy.

    DH is used to me. In September I usually wear a nice short sleeve shirt, a pair of khaki shorts, comfy running style sneakers and a baseball cap.

    The look will be pretty much the same this trip. Maybe minus the shorts depending on the weather.

    Long story short...If you want to wear white capris and are comfortable in them, Go for it. It is your vacation after all.

    Have a great trip!!

    At Disney you can wear what you want. I wish some people would pay a little more attention to what they wear(skimpy)...but then again they do provide some extra "entertainment". White capris will be fine!

    sorry but if you wear white pants you will look like your are on vacation.... oh wait you are on vacation
    As a rule I don't wear the summer colors in winter if I can help it. My navy & khaki shorts are my winter shorts. It was 80 here yesterday and tonight is dropping into the 30's- tomorrow will go up to the 60's. Point is we are used to the weather very similar (a little cooler at times)to the weather there so our apparel is lighter but WHO CARES. People can make foolish remarks anyway... One year it was in the 40's @ WDW and we were freezing and eating and someone came up to us and said you must be from the north eating ice cream in winter
    Don't forget it can get COLD. When it's 80 and suddenly drops to 40 you can really feel it.
    Have a great time and wear whatever feels great. Hope you have great weather too....

    I don't think I'd call white capris in December absurd attire.

    But, to each his own. To me, wearing black and khaki all winter is absurd.
