Blue Dress uniform, often seen in recruiting advertisements. It is often called “Dress Blues” or simply “Blues”. It is equivalent in composition and use to civilian black tie. The various designations are listed in descending order of formality:

Blue Dress “A” has a long-sleeved midnight blue coat (enlisted members have red trim) with a standing collar and belt (white web belt and gold waistplate for enlisted; midnight blue for officers with a gold M-buckle), white barracks cover (a peaked cap), plain white shirt, sky blue trousers (midnight blue for general officers), white gloves, and black dress shoes and socks. Full-size medals are worn on the left chest, with ribbon-only awards worn on the right. Marksmanship badges are not worn. Females wear pumps in place of shoes, and may wear a skirt in place of slacks. For males, the dress coat is cut to be formfitting.
Blue Dress “B” is the same as “A”, but medals are replaced with their corresponding ribbons and all are consolidated on the left chest. Marksmanship badges may be worn.
Blue Dress “C” is the same as “B”, but a khaki long sleeve button-up shirt and tie replace the outer blue coat and white gloves. Ribbons and badges are normally worn on the shirt.
Blue Dress “D” is the same as “C”, but with a khaki short sleeve button-up shirt and no tie.
Because the Blue Dress uniform is considered formal wear, Blue Dress “C” and “D” are rarely worn. The main exception are Marine Recruiters and Marine Corps Security Guards, who wear the “C” and “D” in warm weather. Only the “B”, “C”, and “D” Blue Dress uniforms are authorized for leave and liberty wear; the “A” is not.
United States Marine Corps
Marine uniforms have many accoutrements whose symbolism may not be obvious. One of the most notable adornments is the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, found in some manner on most uniforms; it is even within the MARPAT digital camouflage pattern. It is also the standard cap badge for all uniform covers. An older insignia, progenitor to the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor can be seen in modern dress and service coat buttons.
Military and Civil, U.S. and Foreign services patches can consist of many different designs such as National Seal, Colors, Flags, Crest or active military troop, retired military groups, POWs and the VFW. Other design ideas for military/police may include a Naval ship, fighter planes, tanks, or company slogans. Another popular type is the name patch, an essential part of every uniform. Army, military and police patches look great embroidered and work well when ironed or sewn onto uniforms.
