Who has the best military uniform?
Has to be the Swiss Guard!
You may have other ideas.

Yes. The Swiss Guard is the Army of the Vatican State.
Of course they are a ceremonial guard, but also a working security force for the environs of St Peter's Rome.
They say Michaelangelo designed the uniform.
It's certainly an impressive take on a ceremonial uniform, but looks a little "jesterish" to me. Wonder how it holds up if they need to kick some butt.

Believe me: they are a very professional security force. The British Guardsman in his bearskin is quite a sight, but don't tangle with him.

I am quite a fan of that look.

The United States Marine Corps has a variety of uniforms, from the formal
to the ornate
but the "best" uniform IMO is this one
A hearty ooohrah to Marine veteran Lance Corporal Miller (the Marine in the last pic).
Semper Fi!

How about the Queens mounted guard - the Houshold Cavalry.
Here are the Blues and Royals
and these I love to see on parade. The mounted band of these units have two drummers who ride heavy horses (cart horses) which carry a pair of silver kettle drums each. They look amazing, as is the sound!

Any uniform, that our fighting men and women wear, is the best uniform to me.

A good answer.
the crew of Battlestar Galactica, of course
Any Highland regiment
While Highlanders no longer wear the kilt as part of the BDU, only with the dress uniform,would you mess with a man willing to where a skirt and carry a gun?
My wife votes for the USMC dress uniform.

Mods, I think that we can safely shut this one down. What else is there to be said?

Absolutely nothing.
