Most of what we know about their physical appearance is based on paintings dating back to that era. We know that the women wore long dresses, aprons, and caps, and we know that the men wore things like breeches, jackets, and penny loafers. Wigs, usually white, were worn to dressy events.
As for physical features, we know that the colonial people tended to be shorter than we are today. If you look at preserved houses like the ones in Williamsburg, you will see that the door knobs and furniture are lower to the ground to accommodate the shorter people of that time. Their facial features may have differed slightly also, because if you look at colonial portraits there is just something different about the way their faces look. But we will never know exactly about that.
