The military work with dress regulations, not conventions. We civilians have choices, the military don't.
These civilian conventions are the ones that cause the members here much head aching and confusion and some civilian attire conventions can be quite limiting when it comes to choices. Two rough rules of thumb with civilian attire choices are; "if in doubt----- don't" and "just because I can does not mean that I should". If nothing else, these two maxims do give us pause for thought on what might be a better choice of attire for any particular event.
