Wear comfortable clothing. More than likely you will put on a jumpsuit over what you are wearing, not to mention the parachute. Don't wear anything too constrictive. Closed-toe tennis shoes are a must.

Apart from a skydiving rig containing two parachutes, most skydivers wear a jumpsuit, a helmet and an altimeter of some kind. The jumpsuit keeps you warm at the high altitudes and protects your clothing. Many skydivers do not wear a jumpsuit when the weather is warm. The helmet protects your head in case you hit the aircraft on exit or other jumpers in freefall, or if you land in obstacles like trees. In the UK, all skydivers are required to wear a helmet, but in the USA it is the jumper's choice. A barometric or electronic altimeter worn on the wrist or chest, or an audible altimeter in the helmet lets the skydiver know how high they are and when to deploy their canopy.
For indoor skydiving, it is best to wear comfortable clothing. Do not wear anything that will restrict your movement (for example, jeans). And a shirt without a collar would be best. Also, for footwear, tennis shoes would be best. Also, you might want to check out the website for where ever you are going to skydive. The website usually has suggestions for clothing.
Most skydiving agencies have special jumpsuits you can wear, but you should wear loose and comfortable clothing underneath.
