CIVILIAN CLOTHING
You may be permitted to have civilian clothing in
your possession aboard ship or at a naval activity ashore.
You may wear such clothing while leaving or returning
to your ship or station, while awaiting transportation
after permission to leave the ship has been given, while
on authorized leave of absence, liberty, or in any
off-duty status ashore.
When wearing civilian clothing, you must ensure
that your dress and personal appearance are appropriate
for the occasion and won’t bring discredit upon the
naval service. Current styles and fashions are
authorized. Tank-top shirts, white undershirts worn as
outer garments, cutoff shorts, and shower sandals are
considered appropriate civilian attire for occasions such
as picnics, athletic events, and other daytime activities
of an extremely casual nature. The above items will not
otherwise be worn within the confines of a military
installation.
In cases of individuals who do not wear civilian
clothing as outlined or who fail to maintain proper and
adequate uniforms, individual commands may suspend
the privilege of wearing civilian clothing to and from the
command.

uniform articles with civilian clothing:
