Members of the [[UNSC Navy]] wear a variety of uniforms for the purposes of identification, formality, comfort, and practicality.

==Dress uniform==
The UNSC Navy dress uniforms differ little from those worn by members of the [[United States|United States Navy]] five hundred years previously. 

The full dress, used for ceremonial affairs, consists of a white jacket; white trousers, and a peaked cap for males and a tricorn hat for females ranked Petty Officer and above. Both hats are decorated with an officer crest; a silver shield over two crossed gold fouled anchors, surmounted by a silver eagle. Those ranked [[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]] and above wear gold "scrambled egg" oak leaves on their caps, while Flag Officers may wear aiguillettes with the jacket. [[:Category:UNSC Decorations|Medals and ribbons]] are worn on the left hand side of the uniform.

A similar, full-black dress uniform was also used in an Admiral's [[Halo Living Monument|post-war speech]]. Whether this was a variation of the full dress or the Admiral simply wore his normal service dress (not to be confused with the daily "service uniform") is unconfirmed.

====2531====
The [[2531]] service uniform consisted of a double-breasted olive drab tunic, bearing the seal of the [[United Nations Space Command Defense Force]], with the wearer's surname printed above the seal. It was worn with matching trousers, a [[pistol]] belt, and a cap also bearing the UNSCDF seal. Should the officer be in command of a [[starship]], the [[Ship Emblem]] would be worn on the right shoulder. Medals and ribbons were not worn with this uniform.

====2552====

Several different dress uniforms were worn during [[2552]]. The service dress variant consists of a gray shirt and a matching pair of trousers, secured with a belt. In times of [[war]] a pistol is worn on the belt. A name tag displaying the officer's last name is mounted on the right hand side of the uniform while ribbons are worn on the left hand side. Rank insignia is displayed on the shirt cuffs, collar, and shoulder boards. Medals and caps are typically not worn with this uniform, though [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood|Sir Terrence Hood]] was an exception to the rule.

It should be noted that [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] wore an unusual uniform variant that was colored a lighter gray than usual. Rank insignia was worn with ribbons and a name tag on the left hand side of the uniform.

===Service coveralls===

Gray service coveralls are the basic uniform worn by UNSC Naval personnel while on duty.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 322''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''' campaign level ''[[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]]''</ref> These uniforms offer only a little protection. For specialized personnel, they come in a variety of colors such as blue, red, orange, purple, and yellow. Such colors differ for what job they do, though personnel wearing orange, blue, and red can be seen operating computers on the bridge, cryo bays, and anywhere else.
