In heraldry white metal ( steel, silver, etc is considered white- hence White Armor is the normative style of color- for unit and national ID< they would wear vests or something amounting to T-shirts- with various devices usually cruciform ( hence crusader- one who carries the cross afield) as insignia. The French favored the Fleur de Lis and also the Cross of Lorraine which has two horizontal Bars. Capes were also used for protection from the sun, imporant in North Africa. The Cape could be white. On a female knight like Joan of Arc a fancy white cape is extremely becoming!
