The answer

It has been established that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, wore a black turban and let its end hang between his hands. In another narration: "He let its two ends hang between his shoulders." He also wore all colors, but he preferred white, for he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Wear white from your clothes, for it is the best of your clothes, and shroud your dead in it." Some scholars have recommended wearing white and letting the end of the turban hang between the shoulders.
