Jews do not generally wear anything specifically for the purpuse of showing that they are Jews.

During the Holocaust, they were forced to wear yellow stars with the word JEW on them to show that they were Jews.

Most Jews wear the same things non-Jews wear.

Among the Orthodox, some women wear long sleeve shirts, with long skirts that cover their legs. Married women usually cover their hair in public. Orthodox women are forbidden to wear trousers.

Orthodox Men wear a kippah or yarmulke on their heads (though many non-orthodox men also wear them in the synagogue) and some also wear another hat over their kippah. Under their shirts, men wear a garment called tzeetzeet katan or tzitzis, which is similar to an undershirt with special fringes at the bottom. The fringes may be exposed or tucked in, according to the community.

Modern Orthdox Men generally dress exactly the same as non-Jewish men, with the exception of the kippah and the tzeetzeet (with the fringes tucked in).

There are also other ritual garments associated with specific events and holidays.
