[[File:Traditional castellers in uniform.jpg|thumb|Three castellers in Reus wearing traditional uniforms with white pants and a sash used as a support and handhold.]]Typically ''castellers'' wear white trousers, a black sash (''faixa''), and a shirt in their ''colla''ʼs color, with the team's emblem. For instance, ''[[Castellers de Barcelona]]'' team wear red shirts, while ''[[Castellers de Vilafranca]]'' wear green shirts and are often called ''els verds'' (the greens).<ref name=":0">Bencomo, Aida Ribot, ''Castells in The Construction of a Catalan Community: Body, Language, and Identity amidst Catalonia's National Debate''.

The sash (''faixa'') is the most important part of their outfit, representing the tradition as a whole.  The sash is also believed to support the lower back, and it is  used by other castellers in the team as a foothold or handhold when climbing up the tower. This tasselled piece of cloth varies in length and width and depends on the ''casteller's'' position inside the tower and also on choice. The length of the sash ranges from 1.5 to 12m and usually is shorter for those higher up in the ''castell''. Performing ''castellers'' always go barefoot when climbing, so as to avoid injuries, for greater sensitivity when balancing, and for better feel and grip.
