The vestment common to all ordained and instituted ministers of whatever rank is an [[alb]], which is to be tied at the waist with a [[cincture]] unless the alb is made to fit without cincture.<ref>''[[General Instruction of the Roman Missal]]'', 336</ref> Acolytes, readers and other lay ministers (such as altar servers) may wear either an alb or other appropriate attire as determined by the local [[episcopal conference]].<ref>''[[General Instruction of the Roman Missal]]'', 339</ref>

Servers often wear [[cassock]] and [[surplice]], with black and red being the most common colors for a server's cassock.<ref>[http://www.ewtn.com/library/liturgy/zlitur303.htm Edward McNamara "Colors of Cassocks and Altar Cloths"]</ref>
