They had special SS uniforms. Should be able to Google it.

Answer

Prior to 1937, the SS wore a black uniform comprising a open-collared jacket and breeches normally worn with high boots. A swastika armband, bordered in black, was worn on the upper left arm. A single shoulder strap, indicating the wearer's rank group was worn on the right shoulder. A black trapezium, indicating rank was worn on the left collar, and a black trapezium, indicating the unit to which the wearer belonged was worn on the right collar. The SS runes ('lightning flash') was ONLY worn by members of the Leibstandarte 'Adolf Hitler' bodyguard regiment; all others wore devices such as Roman or Arabic numerals (indicating regiments), or specialist insignia indicating pioneer (engineers) or signals. Security services (e.g. Gestapo) wore a plain black right-hand collar patch.

For working purposes, stone grey or brown uniforms, of similar cut, were worn with or without the swastika armband (an eagle was worn when the armband was not).

From around 1937 onward, the SS adopted military-style uniforms, in field grey (a green colour) or grey. In the case of the armed SS (which became known as the 'Waffen-SS', the uniforms were almost identical in cut to the Army uniform. Other SS units, such as security police, wore a uniform of identical cut to the pre-war black uniform. Changes included an SS eagle worn on the left arm to replace the swastika armband, Army style rank shoulder straps on both shoulders (police style rank shoulder straps for security police), and an increasing variety of right collar-patch insignia to represent Waffen-SS divisions of foreign volunteers. Tank crews wore a black uniform very similar to those of Army tank crews. The Waffen SS was also well-known for its camouflaged smocks.
