white party

All-pale dress code

A white party is a social event where guests are expected to wear all-white attire.

The dress code creates visual uniformity and often signals an upscale or celebratory atmosphere—common for summer gatherings, yacht parties, or charity galas.

In gay culture, white parties are established circuit party events, particularly the annual White Party in Palm Springs.

The invitation specified it was a white party, so I bought a new linen suit.
