Victorian Servants, who worked for the rich, usually wore white, long- sleeved shirts and black trousers. On top of all those CLEAN clothes, they wore an apron when cleaning, cooking or serving.

Well, I should think you might like to specify the particular manner of servant after which you are inquiring. In which country? In which time period? What kind of servant (butler, valet, footman, coachman, chauffeur, lady's maid, scullery maid, etc.)? There is a very different answer for each of them. A butler in 19th century England might be in white tie (especially if it is evening), and a footman might wear tails with a striped waistcoat.

(tl;dr) In summary, you are better off learning just a touch about a subject before asking thereafter.

The Bible does not say specifically, but it is likely that they dressed according to traditional Persian manners, with long robes descending across the body. They may have been lightly ornamented (perhaps some golden or silver bracelets) and likely wore small caps as well.
