Female:
Blue Jacket
Blue One-piece Dress
Black Shirt with the double stripe
Now, the males are EVEN MORE CONFUSING to me:
Male:
Black Jacket with double stripe
White Shirt with double stripe epaulet
White Shirt with NO Epaulet
Stripe Shirt with tie?
I am very confused...
I don't know the women's combos nearly as well as I know the Men's. But off the top of my head,
Men:
Three shirt patterns (white, checkered, striped)
Four(/six) ties - Grey with destinations wordprint, blue checkered, grey/blue striped, purple paisley type thing (pink and candy cane ties for charity some months)
Black pants, blazer, serving jacket, and vest.
Mix and match for shirts and ties. Must wear a blazer internationally. White and check have short sleeved options (white has epaulets) which can be worn alone as outermost garment domestically. White Aviator shirt shouldn't be under a vest (I don't know why anyone would because that looks terrible, IMO).
Striped shirts and purple flower ties have been phased out, but are still technically compliant. I think the first run of shirts also had a short sleeve white shirt sans epaulets which had to be worn under the vest or blazer, but that hasn't been offered in some time
Women:
Two styles of blue dress with a blue blazer to match
Black dress
Black slacks or skirt to be worn with Black short sleeve jacket or black blazer
White and striped shirts for the blazer
Three scarf designs
Aren’t they redoing the uniforms with the new color scheme next month?
It's been in the works for some time now. Will be later than next month though, as wear testing (in current colors) isn't until October.
