Which dress uniform out of all the branches looks the sharpest/best to you?

I am in the Air Force, and am all about the USAF, but I can honestly say, that I think almost all the other service dress uniforms look better than todays Air Force Blues. Granted I know there are new changes coming for them soon, but right now I think they look the worst.

Personally, its a toss up for me between the Marines dress uniform, and the Army's. Both look very sharp and impressive.

What do you think?

Here's some pics, for those that need a reference;

Current Air Force Dress uniform;


Here's two different Navy dress uniforms;



Marine dress uniform;


Army dress uniform;


Coast Guard dress uniform;

Brad: Her beret looks like **** too.

I'm in the AF and this is a no brainer.

My vote goes Marine.
The USAF looks too much like a regular suit.
ARMY has too much stuff on the sleeves for my taste
No real complaint w/ the Navy (bell bottoms rule!)
Haven't seen a CG set in real life so....

I really have to go with the Marines Dress Blues... The SNCO/Officer Evening Dress is kind of cool, but I think the blues look better. I think the officer blues is the best (black blouse and black trousers for the higher ranks). At the same time though, I think it is funny, because only in the Marines does dark blue and light blue match. Talked to a retired Marine once whose wife had to explain to him that he could not wear dark/light blue together out in civilian clothes. Ha.
I think the Army just tries to jam too much stuff on thier uniforms.

Im AF and I think the AF blues look like ****. THe new ones will look like **** too. They really need to figure out what the hell to do.
Whats up w/ that Navy pic in the white. That dude blowing the wistle are they supposed to salute w/ the left hand while blowing a whistle?
I vote in this order Marines, Army, Navy, AF, then CG. CG looks like a cross between AF and Navy so they get the last vote cause they cant make up thier minds.

I almost am contemplating another poll seeing if ANYONE actually likes the Air Force dress blues.

I think their Honor Guard uniforms look decent, and will also admit that the new dress uniform will look better, but still not what I would call "good". I liked the Blues back in the day of SAC (50's).

yea honor guard is a little better. Its pathetic that us AF ppl feel this way, but they have yet to do **** about it. hell i even think our BDU's and ABU's are marine cammies are my favorite.

I like the bus driver hat for some reason. Never got around to buying one before Mil Clothing stopped carrying them.

Edit: I think that the Navy utilities would look better than our SS blues combo if they threw ribbons on it.

I think the guy is just a knuckle head, happened to have the whistle in his right hand. So he freaked out, and saluted with his left hand. I could be wrong, but I thought the only person in the United states military that was allowed to Salute with his left hand was the Drum Major for the Army Fife and Drum Corps (I think they have a more official name, but it escapes me right now), due all his manual for the mace was with his right hand. The first time I saw that, I was very boot and made a crack about it, till someone set me straight, and I felt a little foolish.
If one of the Navy guys knows anything about thier ceremonies that allows him to do this, please tell me, I would be interested to hear it. But I am betting on the guy being a knuckle head.

I'm an AF guy as well but my vote goes to the Marines for best dress uniform. I'm not too happy with our current service blues and have always wondered why if our entire service dress had to be blue, why can't they be just like the Honor Guard's uniform?

I've been in the Army for 20 years and have always thought the Marine uniform looks the best. If you want proof put each branch in thier uniform and send them to a club. I guarantee the Marine gets the lady first if all are respectful. I've seen it and I always hated being second to a Marine because their uniform looks better. Marines unform looks best by far add the sword and it looks even better.
