Can clothes reflect light?
They sure do. If they didn't, they'd all look pitch black.
Does the sun dry darker clothes quicker than white clothes?
Logic suggests that sunlight would tend to dry darker clothes faster than white clothes. The reason being that the white clothes would tend to reflect most of the sunlight[energy], while the darker fabrics would tend to absorb the sunlight energy not reflected, therefore increasing the temperature of the darker fabric due to the conversion of the absorbed light energy to heat. The increase in temperature would then tend to raise the temperature of the water in the fabric, thus increasing the rate of evaporation of the water. I suspect however, that the difference is very small, and difficult to measure.j3h. Based on my experiences (I have no dryer), It certainly does, unless the type of clothing is thick. But I usually hang my white clothes on the line, then my dark clothes, and yet the dark clothes still dry faster. The above answer is correct. It is for this very same reason those who live in arid climates wear light colored clothes, especially their turbans and head wraps, so that most of the sun's rays reflect off of the light linen, keeping the populace as cool as possible.

Because white reflects light and heat, wearing white would make you cooler, no matter where you wear it.
If you wore all black on a sunny day would you feel a lot warmer than if you wore all white clothes?
No. Black holds heat and paler colors will keep you cooler. I live in an area that gets 105+ in the summer and always get light color cars for that reason and make sure I wear light weight light colored clothing in the summer.
