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.
