Diplomatic uniform
Uniforms worn by diplomats on formal occasions / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diplomatic uniforms are ornate uniforms worn by diplomats from some countries at public occasions. Introduced by European states around 1800 and patterned on court dress, they were abandoned by most countries in the twentieth century, but diplomats from some countries retain them for rare, formal occasions.
