A tallit, also pronounced tallis, and tefillin.

A tallit (טַלִּית‎) is a prayer shawl. Tefillin (תפילין) are phylacteries.

Boys* wear tzitzit (ציצית, also pronounced tzitzis), miniature prayer shawls that are worn always, not just when praying. Both men and boys wear skullcaps, which are also worn all the time. A skullcap goes by two names: kippah (כִּיפָּה‎) and yarmulke (יאַרמלקע).

*In Judaism, you are considered to be a man once you turn thirteen years old.

Jewish women do not wear anything special during prayer. Men wear prayer shawls. Women wear modest clothing and, if they are married, some sort of head-covering. Non-Orthdox women may also wear prayer shawls and head coverings (called a kippah).

Well, first regular clothes. Then, Orthodox men wear at least 3 things: keepah (or yarmulke, covering the head), the tallit (the prayer shawl with fringes), and t'fillim (the small "boxes" containing prayers - there are 2 -- one to be bound to one's left arm and forearm, and the other to one's forehead). Some also wear clothing that also has fringes at all times they are clothed. Certain very strict Orthodox men will also wear special outer garmets, including coats (mantles) and hats (streyemels). In more liberal congregations, you will most likely find keepah at the very least, and during services when the Torah is read, or during the "high holidays" some will wear both keepah and tallit. Then, in times of distress, or emergencies, even these requirements will be foregivable if not observed.

They don't have special clothes specifically for praying, as long as it's modest. A prayer shawl (tallit or tallis) is worn over the clothes for morning prayer (Shacharit). The head is also covered during prayer, by custom with a kippah (or yarmulke), though any type of hat could be used. Traditionally the tallit and kippah were worn by men, but today women also use them in some communities.

During daytime prayer services, whether at home or in the synagogue, Jewish men traditionally wear a tallit, the Hebrew word commonly translated as a prayer shawl. Most prayer shawls are white with blue stripes, but the color is not as important as the fringes on the four corners, which are there to fulfill the biblical command to wear fringes on the corners of your garments. Also, it is traditional for men to cover their heads when praying, not only for the long prayers at the center of the synagogue service, but also for the little blessings said many times a day before eating, after eating, and on many other occasions. This is why observant Jews frequently wear hats, and specifically yarmulkes or kippot, the skullcaps commonly associated with Jews. In non-Orthodox synagogues, women frequently also wear prayer shawls and skullcaps.
