An-Nawawi records in his book Riyad us-Saliheen:

Allah said:

يَا بَنِي آدَمَ قَدْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاسًا يُوَارِي سَوْآتِكُمْ وَرِيشًا وَلِبَاسُ التَّقْوَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ

O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment, but the clothing of righteousness is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember.

Surah Al-A'raf 7:26

And Allah said:

وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَالًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ الْجِبَالِ أَكْنَانًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ سَرَابِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ الْحَرَّ وَسَرَابِيلَ تَقِيكُم بَأْسَكُمْ كَذَٰلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْلِمُونَ

Allah has made for you shadows from that which He has created and He has made for you shelters from the mountains and has made for you garments which protect you from the heat and garments which protect you from your enemy in battle. Thus does He complete His favor upon you that you might submit to Him.

Surah An-Nahl 16:81

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

الْبَسُوا مِنْ ثِيَابِكُمْ الْبَيَاضَ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ خَيْرِ ثِيَابِكُمْ وَكَفِّنُوا فِيهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ

Samurah ibn Jundab reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

الْبَسُوا الْبَيَاضَ فَإِنَّهَا أَطْهَرُ وَأَطْيَبُ وَكَفِّنُوا فِيهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ

Clothe yourselves in white, for verily, it is cleaner and more pure; and shroud your dead in it.

Al-Bara ibn Azib reported:

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرْبُوعًا بَعِيدَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ لَهُ شَعَرٌ يَبْلُغُ شَحْمَةَ أُذُنِهِ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ لَمْ أَرَ شَيْئًا قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ

I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in Mecca while he was residing in a red leather tent.

Abu Al-Mughirah reported: I was with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on a journey one night and he asked me:

أَمَعَكَ مَاءٌ

Do you have any water?

I said yes, so he dismounted from his camel and left to relieve himself until he disappeared into the darkness. When he returned, I poured out some water from a vessel and he washed his face. He was wearing a long woolen cloak and he could not take out his forearms from his sleeves, so he brought them out from beneath the cloak and washed them and he passed his hands over his head. I reached out to take off his socks but the Prophet said:

دَعْهُمَا فَإِنِّي أَدْخَلْتُهُمَا طَاهِرَتَيْنِ

Leave them, for I have put them on while purified.

Source: Sahih Bukhari 5463, Grade: Mutaffaqun Alayhi

Then he passed his wet hands over his socks.
