Catholic AnswerA priest wears an amice and an alb, tied with a cincture. Over that he puts his stole, some priests wear a maniple, especially if they are celebrated in the Extraordinary Form. Over all of that they wear the chasuble. All of this is called his vestments.
A priest normally may wear a cassock all the time, as a lay-man would wear a suit jacket. Unless the priest happens to be the Holy Father, his everyday cassock would be black, if he is a Bishop, then it would have purple buttons, and purple piping, if he is a cardinal, it would be red buttons and piping. When he goes to celebrate Mass, over that he would wear an alb, a long, white robe:

Priests were an alb: a long, floor length white robe. If it doesn't completely hide their collar and street clothes, then they wear an amice around their neck. The alb is tied with a long white robe called a cincture. He then wears a stole, which is a narrow, long piece of cloth that goes around his neck and falls knee length on either side. Over all of that he wears a chasuble.

Catholic AnswerIn 2012 priests are directed to wear an alb for all liturgical functions. They must wear an alb under it if their street clothes would show at the collar, and they should wear a cincture around their waist. Over this they wear a stole, and a maniple used to be called for, but is rarely worn anymore except for the Extraordinary Form. Finally, a chasuble is worn over it all for Mass, or a cope for other services.
