Pardon me, but please to observe: women wear pants. Men wear trou.

Anyway, no one’s mentioned the short dress blue mess jacket, worn with cummerbund, high rise trou, and mini medals. It’s still around as far as I know.

Yep.
“Dress Mess”.

I’m short (5’6”), so the dress mess looks better on my frame.
The USMC also has a version (of course, taken from The Army).

We really set the uniform standards, but we just didn’t keep them :\
