white garment
Light-colored outfit piece
A white garment is any piece of clothing that is white in color.
The phrase appears most often in contexts where whiteness carries symbolic weight—religious ceremonies, medical settings, or formal occasions.
In laundry contexts, white garments require separate washing to prevent discoloration: Sort your white garments from colors.
