What color uniform do they wear for navy graduations?

Question

I was a little confused on this subject because sometimes they wear the whit uniforms, and sometimes they wear the black uniforms.

Answer 1

the Dress Blues are worn for PIRs between October and April
the Whites are worn between April and October.

Answer 2

Navy wife is right, but something that might be confusing to civilians is that the dress blues are actually black.

They just call them dress blues or Navy Blue.

I always thought that was really silly when I was in the Navy.

Edit: So dark to ANY eye they are black, my uniform was BLACK and if sold in any department Store it would be called BLACK>

Answer 3

The uniform for PIR (or Pass-In-Review) will depend on the time of year... Dress Whites for spring /summer and Dress Blues for fall /winter.

Just FYI, Dress Blues ARE blue, not black, but it IS a very very very dark blue.

My PIR was May 1985, NTC Orlando, Florida in Dress Whites.

Answer 4

depends on what tme of year the grad is.. if its dring the summer time, its whites, if its in the winter time, is dress blues....
