Ceremonial Dress
Rank of an officer in ceremonial dress is shown on the shoulder where as a soldiers rank insignia is worn on either the sleeve or wrist.
Mess Kit
The dining uniform called mess kit is only worn on formal dining occasions.
Field/Combat Dress
Field, combat and fatigue dress is worn by all ranks for most forms of training and on operations. The shirt and trousers are made of 'disrupted' pattern material for camouflage. Rank badges are still worn on the shoulders
There are so many different uniforms in the armed forces. Each occasions and or season requires a different uniform, as well a being dependant on gender. The all have on thing in common, the shoulder or sleeve of a garment is important in showing rank no matter which occasion of dress you are in. This is something I an going to look at in my designs. Epaulettes are shown to have been used for centuries on military personnel's uniforms.
