liveried
Dressed in uniform
Liveried describes someone wearing livery—the distinctive uniform of a servant, attendant, or employee of a household or company.
A liveried chauffeur or liveried footman wears formal attire identifying their employer.
The word evokes old-world wealth and formality: A liveried doorman greeted guests at the hotel entrance.
