* The [[RedsWithRockets Soviet Army]], relying principally on conscription to supply manpower, inevitably encompassed the dozens of different recognized nationalities within the nation. With conscription being a sort of difficult rite of passage for many young men, when their terms of service ended, the same men were allowed what was informally called a demobilization uniform, if they desired, which would feature whatever items, patches, or other trinkets they had collected. The only requirement was that still vaguely resemble their original service uniforms, and as a result, many men returning to their homes wore some truly gaudy and flashy tunics with extra aiguillettes, shoulder insignia, and more. The units/branches where this practice was most widespread even gained a nickname of "motor-sewing", a pun on motor-rifle regiments.

* The bulk of the ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'' Corps wear the standard bodysuit, DominoMask and ring. The ring is the only mandatory part, as it's the source of their powers. This means that there are many members who choose to customize their uniform, a good example being [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/scale_medium/10/100647/5903538-gls24.jpg Guy Gardner]], whose uniform basically amounts to CivvieSpandex. And that's not even getting into the members of the Corps that aren't humanoid, and need a uniform that perfectly fits their unique anatomy.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'': Kimberly Magic Academy seems to allow its students a lot of latitude in their student uniforms. These range from minor changes like Guy skipping the necktie or Katie tying it in a bow instead of wearing it with a Windsor knot, to Nanao wearing a red hakama-style skirt instead of the normal purplish-gray two-pleated one, up to large changes such as Ophelia Salvadori wearing a slinky purple ball gown slit to the hip and refashioning her uniform's jacket into a bolero.

Added DiffLines:

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', Lightning's outfit is a set of Guardian Corps fatigues, but with a few additions for FashionableAsymmetry, including a BadassCape. The garb's description in ''[[VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII Lightning Returns]] calls it "acceptable wear in times of peace", suggesting that she'd have to do away with the customizations if the Corps were actually in a military engagement.
