 New female uniforms are on the horizon. The goal is to standardize the general look of sailors. Some of the changes we can expect to see are choker-style dress whites for senior enlisted in officers, and cracker-jack-style dress blues with the Dixie Cup covers for E6 and below. The new uniforms strive to improve quality, comfort, and appearance. The Navy Clothing Textile and Research Facility is also collecting data to update baseline sizes, patterns, and designs. There are other innovations in the works, including pencil skirts in white and khaki, and larger internal pockets for dress white and blue uniforms for items like cell phones. The new uniforms are expected to be for sale in exchanges and online fall of 2016. For more information on female uniform initiatives, visit the Navy Live Blog.
