Dress blue bravos is a Marine dress uniform. It is equivalent in use to a civilian's black suit and tie. For enlisted personnel, it consists of a white barracks cover; long sleeve, midnight blue coat with red trimming, a standing collar, and a white web belt on the outside of the coat with a gold buckle; ribbons on the left side of the chest (rifle and pistol badges optional unless where directed) ; white shirt; sky blue trousers with a tan web belt; black dress socks; and black shoes (women wear pumps in place of shoes, and may wear a skirt in place of slacks).
Officers are the same except the coat does not have red trim, the white belt is replaced with one that is midnight blue, and general grade officers have midnight blue trousers. Officers, SNCOs and NCOs wear a blood stripe down the outer seam of the trousers.
