They wore clothing that was typical of the society in which they lived, but they (along with at least some other Jews) made a point of several things: Fringes on the 4 corners of their 4-cornered garments. One likely 4-cornered garment was a rectangular cloak or robe, the ancestor of today's tallit, perhaps worn not unlike a toga, but Roman togas were semicircular, not 4-cornered. The other would be a tunic with side slits. The fringes or corner tassles were in keeping with the commandment in Numbers 15:37-41. Pharisees also emphasized keeping the requirements of Exodus 13:9, Deuteronomy 6:8, and Deuteronomy 11:18 by wearing tefillin, little boxes containing scrolls of the text of the appicable commandments on their right arm and forehead. Most wore these only during morning prayers, but some overdid it and wore tefillin all day. Archaeologists have found tefillin at Qmran, so we know that the Essenes also wore them. We do not know the extent to which the Pharisees wore head coverings, but it is likely that the cloak was worn up over the head at times and hats, caps or turbans may have been common.

How did Jesus feel about the Pharisees?
Jesus appears to have felt considerable kinship with the Pharisees. He spent long hours in synagogues that were dominated by Pharisees, ate meals with Pharisees, and visited Pharisees in their homes. His arguments with Pharisees make up a significant part of the Gospels. The record of Jesus' arguments with the Pharisees in the Gospels and the record of arguments among the Pharisees in the Talmud suggest that Jesus's style of argument, vehemence and occasional name calling (hypocrites!) were typical Phariseeic behavior. It is quite likely that many Pharisees during Jesus' lifetime considered him to be a Pharisee. Most of what Jesus taught in the Gospels is in accordance with the teachings of the school of Rabbi Hillel -- the more humanist and less legalist school of Phariseeic thought.

There is no mention of any prohibition on Pharisees having children. In fact, according to the teachings of the Tanach (Jewish Bible), men are incomplete if they remain unmarried and without children. As Torah observant Jews, the Pharisees most definitely would have had children. The proof of this is that the Pharisees are the ancestors of modern Judaism.
When did the Pharisees begin their religious practices and beliefs?
The Pharisees began their religious practices and beliefs around the 2nd century BCE.
Why did Jesus denounce the Pharisees more than he did any other group?
The gospels record that Jesus hung out with Pharisees, studied with Pharisees, ate with Pharisees and argued with Pharisees. If you look at what we know about the Pharisees from the Mishnah, which is largely a record of the opinions of the Pharisees, we know that they denounced each other on many occasions as a routine part of their rhetorical style. Jesus fits right in, so closely that most Jews who have studied the Gospels conclude that Jesus was probably a Pharisee and either a member of the school of Hillel or allied to that school of thought. His denunciations sound very much like typical denunciations from the school of Hillel aimed at the school of Shamai.
