What you wear is important, but not as important as your field-craft knowledge about the subject you're trying to photograph.
When I go deer stalking I wear a camoflage jacket and dark green jeans, avoid waterproofs because they "rustle"
I wear old black trainers rather than boots because they allow me to be sure footed and quiet in the woods.
Make sure my face, hands, and neck are covered, these areas stand out in a dark wood.
I know that deer have excellent smell and hearing so I always walk with the wind in my face. Their eyesight however is not as good, they're probably colour blind, so if I disturb them I know to stand stock still and my clothing will allow me to blend into the background.
