You do not need motorcycle clothing; a sidecar combination is much safer than a solo motorcycle, so you do not need the protective clothing you would require on a motorcycle. Skiing jackets, salopettes will keep you warm and dry. On nice sunny days you will still require a jacket to wear, we will be travelling around 40mph so there is always a wind chill factor.
