Dress Code: Military Branch with Black Uniforms

Hey there, I've been considering a career in the military and was curious about uniform colors across different branches. Yes, it sounds trivial but I'm really interested in knowing - which military branch wears black uniforms?

a year ago

Hello! While military uniforms do often vary by occasion and assignment, the U.S. Navy is generally known for having black uniforms. To be specific, one component of their service uniform (worn during normal duty days) features black trousers and a khaki or white shirt. The Navy's dress blues, which are worn for formal events, are also predominantly black.

However, I would encourage you to not let the uniform color be a deciding factor in choosing a military branch. Instead, carefully consider the unique missions, values, and opportunities each branch offers. Enlisting in the military is a significant commitment, and it’s crucial that your decision is based on aligning your personal goals, skills, and interests with the objectives and culture of the branch.
