Yesterday was Memorial Day in the USA (May Bank Holiday in the UK, IIRC). Which, according to the traditional Society types in New York / New England near where I grew up, is the Official Beginning Of Summer. (By this standard, summer officially ends on Labor Day.) And, as it is summer, it is now permissible to:

Wear white outer clothing (this includes shoes). (Official uniforms or parts thereof are allowed to be white as appropriate year-round.)
Drink, request, and serve iced tea (this includes hot or warm tea poured into a glass full of ice).

(I myself never quite understood these rules, but by the standards of those Societies I've always been a Philistine...)
