What is a "uniform"?

A uniform is a standardized set of clothing worn by members of an organization or group. It is designed to identify the wearer as a member of that organization and create a sense of unity and belonging. Uniforms are often worn by members of the military, police, fire department, medical staff, and other professions. They may include items such as hats, shirts, pants, jackets, and badges. Uniforms are usually practical and comfortable to wear, and they can be used to distinguish between different ranks or levels of authority within an organization. They can also help to create a sense of professionalism and respect for the wearer and the organization they represent.
