Dress Blues

Dress Blues are formal military uniforms worn by members of the U.S. Marine Corps during ceremonial occasions, official events, and important functions. They typically consist of dark blue trousers and a matching coat, often accented with silver buttons, medals, and insignia that display rank and achievements. The uniform conveys professionalism, discipline, and respect, reflecting the Marine Corps’ traditions and history. While similar to dress uniforms in other branches, Marine Dress Blues have distinctive stylistic features tailored to their identity, serving as a symbol of pride and unity within the Corps.
