Ah but that's the thing, we are talking about Endwalker!

But yeah the white robes definitely stand out lol. They're supposed to be worn only by Elidibus or someone who has resigned from their public office, though like you I've also headcanoned that there is a Words of Elidibus and that they might wear white robes as well, but as far as I know there's nothing official on this front. And still the NPCs that meet him absolutely do not question who he is or what office he used to hold, even though it's apparently a somewhat rare occurrence.
