Shirts with collars save your neck from sunburn, synthetic absorbs less water than cotton, close-fitting doesn't attract bits of boat equipment up the sleeves etc.(speaking from experience)
Shorts save your modesty and from "Laser bum" (as above)
I personally find some footwear more comfortable than bare feet, others think differently. Shoes that you slip on will slip off in the water. Best are reef shoes, lightweight trainers. Rubber sandals are OK, except the fittings seem to attract ropes.
If you want to wear a baseball cap (good idea), bring a piece of string to tie it onto your buoyancy aid.
If you need to wear glasses to see, and cannot get on with contact lenses, make sure your glasses are securely fixed onto your head with cord, they don't float, believe me. Ditto sunglasses, but usually better off without extra things to worry about.

drinking water & a towel.
Best not to wear earings, jewelry, etc.
