Within your space station or spacecraft, the astronauts commonly wear a jumpsuit similar to a military flight suit. At times, they are shown in video wearing polo shirts or T-shirts.
To leave the spacecraft and work outside, astronauts wear a protective space suit. The suit provides pressure to keep your lungs from expanding too much, and air for them to breathe. Sun protection is important, too; you can get a sunburn in just a few minutes at noon on the beach beneath a 100-mile thick atmosphere; imagine how intense the sunlight could be in space!
