Since there are no seasons, your clothing will be the same all the time. The only thing that concerns you will be whether the Sun is being shielded by the Earth and you are in darkness or you are in direct sunlight. It gets very, very cold in the vacuum of space. Loose-fitting and comfortable clothing is what you will need. Synthetic clothing is preferred to some of the other materials.
