white suit
Pale professional attire
A white suit is a matching jacket and trousers in white fabric, associated with warm climates, summer occasions, and a certain flamboyance.
The white suit carries connotations of Southern gentility, tropical elegance, or deliberate showmanship: He arrived in a white suit like some plantation owner.
Tom Wolfe famously wore one as a signature look.
In some contexts, a white suit signals either refined taste or ostentatious display, depending on the wearer and setting.
