As someone who wears Ordnance Crimson (aka dark pink) on his uniform, I've always liked the Royal Hussars' uniform, since they were awarded the honour of wearing crimson trousers when they escorted Prince Albert to his wedding with Queen Victoria in 1840.
 Attached FileOverview of regimental dress here. (I hope this entry was up to snuff for a primuspilum thread.  )

I think the French foreign legion has a similar position. |

I always liked the Swedish Lifeguards (on foot).
The story of how they got the Pickelhaube is interesting, and somewhat amusing.

A Chilean Mountain Guard (reservist) unit marched in a Chilean bicentennial parade with mules, pack howetzers, and equipment that looked like WWI surplus... all looking fully functional. Pretty sure the mules knew their jobs.

For whatever reason, almost the entirety of the U.S. military made the temporary wartime discontinuation of wear of true dress uniforms permanent in the several years following the war by discontinuing those uniforms. The Marines still use something decent, although both officers and enlisted men used to have fancier uniforms as well (especially officers; the more formal enlisted uniform only had minor differences from the type currently in use). Naval officers still use the dress whites which were mostly the same from service dress through special full dress in the prewar era (types of aiguillettes and sword belts worn, and whether or not a sword was mandatory or not, constituted the differences between the different levels of uniform for the whites). Everything else is gone. At least most European countries kept their more formal uniforms around. |

Guy on the left forgot his belt. Are some of those guys under 5 feet tall? He's got a belt. The leather is lighter in colour for some reason. It kind of got tucked in under the armour. You can see the bottom edge of the buckle and a bit more of the belt in the photo. |

Guy on the left forgot his belt. Are some of those guys under 5 feet tall? It's almost entirely under his armor. IIRC, the way the armor is issued is a new Guard shows up and hopes there's something available in the armory that at least kinda sorta fits. So it never fits right and kinda sucks. A Priest blogger I read (Father Z, also a gun guy) raised money to get a custom fit breastplate for a Guard (has St. Joseph on one side, St Joan of Arc on the other). It cost over $6k to make. http://wdtprs.com/blog/2015/05/swiss-guard-amour-project-new-photos-from-the-swearing-in-ceremony/. So normally guys apparently just deal with poorly fitting metal armor for the times they have to wear it. Their armory is basically some weird collectors dream. http://www.guns.com/2014/04/13/guns-swiss-guard/ The MKMO subguns are kinda neat though. |
