@chi575388wl: Discussing the differences between the old and new female Marine dress blues. Many feel the older style was more flattering and functional, especially with pockets! Which do you prefer? Share your thoughts! #femalemilitaryuniforms #dressblues #marines #militaryfashion #uniformdiscussion
As a female Marine I love the both but there's some pride with the "leatherneck" collar.
More specifically though I LOVE that we we can wear the male cover. Whoever designed the ladies dress blue cover that ends in a point directly where our bun goes was not the sharpest tool in the shed.

When I tell you, when I realized I didn’t get the same dress blues as the males, I was PISSED! The new ones are fucking awesome!

As a female Marine who has worn both… I prefer the old blues. I get the “uniformity” idea. But if you’re going to have us wear the same, make them completely the same pockets and all. But… I prefer the old.

I agree. I was genuinely upset when they changed the uniform. To me, it represented our history, heritage, and traditions as women in the Marine Corps. It was the uniform worn by our founding sisters, and I always felt a deep sense of pride and honor in wearing it. This is simply my personal opinion, but I believe preserving those traditions matters.

as a female, i hate female clothing because of the pinched curve. I like straight fitting tops and jackets.

I loved the old blues 😭 it made me feel feminine while also looking sharp. I don’t need to wear the same coat as the males just for uniformity. The new one look especially odd with the skirt 😭😭

I agree completely, women were taught to maintain their feminity when I went through bootcamp, make-up and all, that was summer 2000. I get we are doing similar training as the males, but at the end of the day we are still women, call me old fashioned.

As a female that is ex-Navy, the NEW dress blue is much better! We wore the male uniform while marching in parades so we needed TWO full sets of dress blue uniforms back then.

The new looks much better and goes with uniformity across the board.

As a mom of a female marine, I definitely like the new ones better. The marine uniform is one of the coolest uniforms and I think the women should also have the right to be able to wear the cooler uniform. They’ve earned it as well.
