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 uniform differs little from those worn by members of the United States Navy five hundred years previously. It 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 and above wear gold "scrambled egg" oak leaves on their caps, while Flag Officers may wear aiguillettes with the jacket. Medals and ribbons are worn on the left hand side of the uniform.

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 Sir Terrence Hood was an exception to the rule.
It should be noted that 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
- Main article: Working uniform
Gray service coveralls are the basic uniform worn by UNSC Naval personnel while on duty.[1][2] 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.
