There's actually a very good reason for wearing white (or another neutral colour) while painting - because if you wear coloured clothing, that colour will reflect onto what you're painting and throw your colour balance off.
I'm not kidding - I learned this from an outdoor painter, tried it, and was surprised at the difference it makes in my art.
Also, white reflects more light back onto your artwork, giving you an additional light source.
Yes, this is also my answer to a similar question from last week...

Its easy to bleach colors out of, and usually tough enough to use corrosive materials to take out oil paints. Plus you can see if you have paint on your sleeve, hip, leg, and wont drag the color across to another piece you may be working on.

You mean 'wear'? They don't anymore. Painters wear whatever they want to that they don't mind getting paint on.
