In September, the Marine Corps announced<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2023\/09\/21\/there-is-now-no-marine-uniform-that-requires-women-to-wear-skirts\/\"> female Marines had the option to wear slacks<\/a> with that uniform going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the exact female-specific design hasn\u2019t yet been approved, so female Marines have had to wear their dress-blue slacks, purchase and tailor male slacks, or stick with the skirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final design of the optional dress slacks for women will be ready for purchase by the final quarter of fiscal year 2024, which ends Oct. 1, Marine Corps spokeswoman Morgan Blackstock said in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marine Corps already has approved the design concept for the slacks, according to Blackstock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"648\" height=\"748\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/evening-dress-male.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/evening-dress-male.jpg.jpg 648w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/evening-dress-male.jpg.jpg?resize=260,300 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The male evening dress uniform for officers, left, and staff non-commissioned officers, right.

for staff noncommissioned officers, and dark blue with a gold stripe on the side for officers, like the slacks worn by male Marines in the uniform, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marines.mil\/News\/Messages\/Messages-Display\/Article\/3532316\/female-evening-dress-slacks\/\">a Marine administrative message<\/a> from September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
