Volcom has awesome outerwear if you're willing to drop some serious cash.  If you're looking for an actual online retailer, try Board Paradise, Boards for Less, Boardzone, CCS, Eternal, Sideways People, The House, or Zumiez.

TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION\nWhat's funny my youthful decision at 17 to join the Marines to woo the girls in Dress Blues, even though I became an NCO and could wear the red blood stripe on my trousers and strap an NCO sword on I never had Dress Blues. Very very few Marines are issued Dress Blues and the rest who want them have to purchase them and since the majority of Marines didn't have them the guys would harass you to no end as an idiot if you sported one around the barracks. I sincerely believe very few Marines ever owned them, outside some  career Marines (lifer's) and some of those didn’t have them either or couldn't fit into them anymore, because of beer bellies.

I am a bartender at a facility that has military balls pretty often, and all the civilians just dress formally...basically a ball gown. If finances are tight though, I have seen many wives jazz up a more plain black dress though with nice jewelry and hairstyle, without a formal gown...\nIf you do wanna go totally formal,any dress shop around could help you pick out something appropriate! Have fun, and I am sure you'll look great!

The US navy has these different uniforms: \n\n1. Dress blues \n2. Decoration Whites \n3. Khaki \n4. Summer Blues \n5. Winters \n6. BDU's \n\nThe dress blues are worn in accordance to a national holiday. The dress blues are now what US Sailors will graduate from boot camp wearing. They are no longer wearing the Sailors Whites \n\n\nDecoration Whites are used for important events. Just like the name, decoration. Whites are worn for Captains and above when they are visiting a certain base. Whites are to show off all your ribbons, and medals earned. \n\nKhakis are worn by Petty Officer 3rd Class and above. It is a sign of power and leadership. Khakis are work uniform. \n\nSummer Blues are worn by cadets in ROTC, or JROTC. Or a sailor who is in schooling. \n\nWinters are the same as Summer Blues, and they are worn during winter seasons. \n\nBDU's are now being worn by based sailors. They are just like the army / marine corps one. \n\nThe US navy has a lot of uniforms in accordance to our jobs. We are no different than any other branch except we partake in a lot of different working environments. On a ship, yes it is very tiny, and the living quarters are tight. However, A sailor onboard a ship has three uniforms. 1. Working uniform, 2. Their whites, and a spare working uniform. It is all they need when they are onboard. \n\nIf you are an officer on board a ship you need your khakis and your whites. Thats it.

This is totally doing your homework for you, and its so easy!  Go to yahoo news and do a search on dress codes, newspaper.  Go to the libary and look for a book on self-esteem, they will always talk about how important it is to look and feel good, and project your true self.  That is a great source for wearing what you want.  And website...try a blog where someone has written about how much it sucks to have to wear a uniform.  It is personal and online.  Good luck

Don't buy them there it will cost you a small fortune (unless you can go into the local areas as opposed to tourist areas) Get online at your favorite stores and check out the sales. Generally last seasons summer fashions will be under the sales/clearance link. Good luck.

Try some of the consignment and resale stores.  They have som beautiful ones for a fraction of the cost.  Pay no mind to that guy who answered so hatefully.  People like him are a dime a dozen.
