REGARDING attire in the Spirit World, there is a lot we don't know about this temporary realm.
However, some accounts from people who have temporarily died and then returned to life have presented some rather startling ideas, true or not ...One is that the more righteous a Spirit World resident is, the whiter his or her attire is. So, some have more gray colored clothing there and anyone in the "Spirit Prison" is dressed in dark color...
Could this be true?
Perhaps, though it does seem a bit too obvious there to all residents there of, if true.
This certainly isn't necessarily doctrine, but it does kind of make sense that there is some sort of partial judgment -- visible or not -- like this in the Spirit World.
Also, I'm not certain if different races exist in the spirit world. I think "race" is a mortal condition and as such does not extend beyond that.
In addition, when we die, our spirit is naked, yes without clothes! Just as we entered the mortal world naked, our spirit is initially naked -- and it appears that someone is dispatched to meet a spirit just before he or she enters the spirit world and gives them a robe to wear.
