ceremonial uniform
Formal military attire
A ceremonial uniform is formal attire worn by military personnel, police, or other uniformed services for special occasions rather than everyday duty.
These uniforms typically feature elaborate details—medals, sashes, braiding, ceremonial swords—that would be impractical in the field: The honor guard wore full ceremonial uniform at the state funeral.
Distinguished from dress uniform, which is formal but less ornate.
