They looked
damn
good in those late-60s white suits. This is the unequivocal truth. Let us discuss and post pictures.

I guess this begs the question: From 1962-autumn '67, what could these guys have worn besides the striped shirts that would've worked with their material? (like, during that era they couldn't have worn suits while singing 'Surfin Safari' imo).
Thoughts?

Well, here's a thought: how about the clothes they actually wore, that they were comfortable in? By the later half of the sixties the "band uniform" was kind of passe - unless you were doing something clever with it (whatever that might be). I see pictures of them in their natural duds and I think, "just wear that, that looks cooler than the stupid striped shirts, the white suits and whatever else they were wearing on stage.

I was a little confused by the thread title. I was thinking, is this about a newly unearthed set of songs, or a particular hotel they stayed at?

There are many examples of the band playing live and wearing shirts apart from the striped variety during this era such as Pendleton coats over white shirts and tie, suits (as worn at the Bel Air Bay Club in '62), plain short sleeved shirts, chequered long sleeved shirts, etc.

Al being front and center during this period has been scientifically linked to the beach boys decreasing album sales in the late 60s

It would have been cooler if they wore white labcoats instead.

Thoughts?
Early 60's would require a clean cut look, so I think lightweight pullover sweaters or knit shirts and jackets in a mix of soft, beachy colors with straight jeans or rolled up pants, deck shoess or sneakers. By pullovers, I don't mean varsity sweaters, but the soft, rayon style that they sometimes wore in photo shoots. The combination still conveys a sense of casual, breezy California beach style without being a walking cliche (like Hawaiian shirts) or too matchy-matchy, like the striped shirts and white suits.
