They wear the same uniforms as the rest of their unit. This may be the ACU or MultiCam uniform for the Army, the MARPAT uniform for the Marines, the ABU for the Air Force.... special operations units have a bit more leniency in what they wear as far as uniforms go. They might wear any of the above, or even the phased out BDU, DCU, or ERDL uniforms if they saw fit to.
