dress uniform
Ceremonial military garb
A dress uniform is the formal attire worn by military personnel, police officers, or other uniformed services for ceremonial occasions, official functions, or formal events.
Distinguished from everyday duty uniforms, dress uniforms typically feature more elaborate design elements—medals, braiding, sashes, or distinctive headgear: Officers wore their dress uniforms to the state dinner.
Some organizations maintain multiple grades of formality, from service dress to full ceremonial regalia.
