dress uniforms
Ceremonial military garb
Dress uniforms are the formal military attire worn for ceremonies, official functions, and special occasions rather than combat or daily duty.
Distinguished by elaborate details—medals, ribbons, braiding, and polished buttons—they represent the most decorative version of a service branch's uniforms: The honor guard wore dress uniforms at the state funeral.
Also called dress blues, dress whites, or full dress depending on the branch and formality level.
