Black clothes absorb more of the suns energy while white absorbs less. Since this energy is in the form of heat to us darker clothes feel hotter.

EX)

The sun emits photons of light. these photons have a characteristic wavelength to each color: blue green yellow red.....Black clothes absorb wavelengths of light from the sun that dont make up the black color, meaning they dont take in the black wavelength photons, just absorb the colors that dont make black color, like red and yellow. White clothes do not absorb any photons of the visible spectrum so they emit all the photons of light. Since they dont absorb the light energy from the sun they dont get as hot. But will still heat up but from the radiation of the sun.
