It depends on what you mean.
During a Mass or similar ceremony where they are presiding, they will wear vestments in appropriate colour for the occasion (Green for Ordinary Time; Violet for Lent, Advent, Reconciliation and in some parts of the world funerals (Black in others); White or Gold for most feasts (and I think solemnities); Rose for the 3rd week of advent (Gaudete), and one week in lent (Laetere); Blue is used in some parts of the world (although it is NOT an approved liturgical colour, and is legally not permitted) for Feast days of Our Lady; Red for Feasts associated with the Holy Spirit (and in some parts of the world, Palm Sunday and Good Friday). Along with the Chasuble, a bishop will usually wear a matching Mitre (pointy hat), and dalmatic and traditionally used to wear stockings, shoes and gloves that also matched the colour.
During a Ceremony where the bishop is present, but not presiding they wear a Cassock that is generally black or white with Cerise (referred to by some people as violet, pink or purple) buttons, and a sash. They also wear a Cerise Zuchetto, and may have a surplice-like garment (sometimes called a simar) also with cerise trimmings. Cardinals woudl wear the equivalent in red, and the Pope in white.
Outside of ceremonies, a bishop may wear a cassock with cerise buttons, trimings and sash along with his Zuchetto or (in some parts of the world) may be more casual wear black shirt and pants (like many priests would too).
Contrary to popular belief, however, the bishops' colour is actually green. This can be noticed in heraldic symbols like coats of arms or logos, as well as the band holding the cross hanging around a bishop's neck would be gold and green (gold and red for cardinals). As far as I know, oputside of liturgic occasions, bishops used to wear a distinctive green hat, however I can find no evidence to be certain.
