ceremonial uniforms

Official dress garments

Ceremonial uniforms are formal military or official attire worn for parades, state occasions, and other dignified events rather than combat or daily duty.

They typically feature elaborate details—braiding, medals, sashes, distinctive headgear—that would be impractical in the field: The honor guard wore full ceremonial uniforms for the state funeral.
