working uniform

Duty dress code

A working uniform is the standard clothing worn by military or service personnel for everyday duties, as distinct from dress uniforms worn for ceremonies or formal occasions.

Working uniforms prioritize durability and practicality over appearance: He changed out of his working uniform before the awards ceremony.

The term applies similarly to police, firefighters, and other uniformed professions.
