Depends. If they are orthodox they wear all black. If they are just your everyday run-of-the-mill Jewish family they wear the same thing you do.

Contrary to some popular belief, apart from the Tallit and Fringes there is no particularly Jewish style of dress. The long black kaftan and broad-rimmed hats which some think of as the way Jews dress is worn only by a minority of extremely Orthodox, particularly by a sect known as Chasidim. To think of this as typically Jewish is roughly to think of the clothes of the Amish people as typically Christian dress. The style of the Chasidim was copied from that of gentile Polish nobility of the 17th century. Due to the conservative nature of Chasidism, this style has changed little since it was first adopted by the early followers of the sect.

Although styles of dress of Jews throughout the world varies greatly, there are still certain laws and customs that apply to both clothing and general appearance.

The majority of Jews dress identically to the way Chrisitians dress. You could not pick us out in a crowd.

Clothes, duh.

Really though, I'm a Jew and my clothes are no different from Christians'. I just wear a shirt and jeans.
