They wore coats that were red and white pants. They wore "knee-high" socks and hats. Their red coats had several buttons on them. It was from their red coats that they were given the name 'lobsterbacks' and 'redcoats'.

The also had light guns and were supported by the heavy guns of the fleet. The Americans were armed with muskets or whatever firearms they could obtain, a few bayonets and some light guns.The Americans were unorganized but fought bravely.
They wore red wool uniforms with black leather boots. In the colonies these uniforms didn't work very well. On hot humid days on the east coast they were very hot to wear. There was no air conditioning or fans and wearing wool suits buttoned up to the neck had to be awful. The red color also made them a good target.

Under the Laws of War, soldiers dress in uniform. The uniforms can be anything--you could dress your army in blue jeans and work shirts, like the Navy did--but they have to be recognizable as the uniform of that army.
