For other uses, see Uniform (disambiguation).

A variety of uniforms used in the Canadian Militia, 1898.

A uniform is a type of clothing worn by members of an organization while participating in that

organization's activity. Modern uniforms are most often worn by armed forces and paramilitary
organizations such as police, emergency services, security guards, in some workplaces and schools and
by inmates in prisons. In some countries, some other officials also wear uniforms in their duties; such is
the case of the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service or the French prefects.
For some organizations, such as police, it may be illegal for non members to wear the uniform.
