nonuniformed
Lacking standard dress
Not wearing a uniform.
The term usually distinguishes civilian-clothed personnel from those in official dress: nonuniformed police officers, nonuniformed staff.
It applies to anyone—security guards, school employees, military personnel—who might ordinarily wear a uniform but isn't currently doing so.
