Where to place 'either'. Is there a rule?

Hi all

I'm a little unsure of the grammar rules when placing the word 'either' in a sentence. Is there a fixed rule?

Can you say, 'You can choose either the black skirt or the white dress' or is it better to put it before 'choose' and say, 'You can either choose the black skirt or the white dress'?

Thanks
