Modest clothing.
It really depends on the local climate and the time of year, but most Jews wear some
form of underwear, shirts or dresses, trousers or skirts, and shoes. In the cooler and
more temperate climates, these are often supplemented with sweaters, jackets, and
socks. It is this quaint style that makes it relatively easy to recognize Jews among
the general population by virtue of their stark contrast with regular people.

∙ 11y agoOrthodox Jewish men wear clothing, just like any other man. There is no specific outfit that is worn other than a kippah (scull cap) and tzit tzit (a lightweight poncho with special fringes attached to each of the 4 corners and is worn under their shirt).
Both orthodox Jewish men and woman conform to "Tzniut", or modesty, in both dress and behavior. Neither men or women should dress in a way that overly emphasizes the physical or attracts undue attention.
Men generally wear long trousers and often long-sleeve shirts. Depending on which sect he belongs to, an orthodox man might wear black pants, black jackets, black shoes and a white shirt. As part of their religious observance, they wear a head covering all the time, called a kippah or yarmulke (a skull cap). Besides these coverings, it's not unusual for a man to also wear a hat.
Very religious Jewish men follow the the Biblical law against shaving the "corners" of one's head (Leviticus 19:27). Their hair is usually kept quite short, except the sideburn area (the hair in front of the ears extending to beneath the cheekbone), which never is cut, and grows long. The long uncut sideburns are known as "Peyos".
Along with prohibition of shaving off the Peyos, Jewish males may not use a razor to cut certain parts of their beards. For practical purposes, many men don't cut their beards altogether, and with the exception of occasionally trimming their mustaches. Orthodox Jewish men who do shave their facial hair must use electric shavers as opposed to razors. Today many orthodox men grow beards to keep the tradition of their ancestors, even though some sects allow shaving.
In the Torah, God commands the Jewish men to wear fringes at the corners of their clothes as a reminder of keeping His commandments (Deuteronomy 22:11-13, and Numbers 15:38). Orthodox boys and men wear a sleeveless cotton undergarment over their undershirt, that looks like a rectangle of cloth, with a hole in the center for the neck. It has long fringes (called Tzitzit) attached to the garment's four corners. It's called a "Tallith Katan". Some prefer to let the fringe dangle on the outside of their shirts, some keep them tucked in. The Tallith Katan is the first thing an orthodox man or boy will put on the first thing in the morning.
During prayer services, Jews often wear a Tallit (prayer shall). In Orthodox synagogues, usually only men wear a Tallit.
An Orthodox Jewish man wears 'Tzitzit' ("corners", or "fringes"), a plain white religious prayer shawl with four knotted stings, one at each corner, under his clothes. He also wears a Kippah, a small cap. Ultra-Orthodox men replace the Kippah with a large black hat.

Among the Orthodox, some women wear long sleeve shirts, with long skirts that cover their legs. Married women usually cover their hair in public. Orthodox women are forbidden to wear trousers. Orthodox Men wear a kippah or yarmulke on their heads (though many non-orthodox men also wear them in the synagogue) and some also wear another hat over their kippah. Under their shirts, men wear a garment called tzeetzeet katan or tzitzis, which is similar to an undershirt with special fringes at the bottom. The fringes may be exposed or tucked in, according to the community. Modern Orthdox Men generally dress exactly the same as non-Jewish men, with the exception of the kippah and the tzeetzeet (with the fringes tucked in). There are also other ritual garments associated with specific events and holidays.
