Uniform
The Guide uniform has evolved over the years, from its first design by Baden-Powell and his sister: long dresses, neckerchiefs (like the Scouts) and wide hats- a uniform designed with good taste, class and usefulness in mind. The current uniform, designed by Ally Capellino is more modern, with a blue-and-white striped top. There are no compulsory trousers, but Guides wear what is appropriate for the activities. Optional caps, gilets and other accessories can be bought from Guide uniform stockists as well as online.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“He may be a very nice man. But I haven’t got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he’s got a uniform and a gun and I have to relate to him that way. That’s the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“Truly man is a marvelously vain, diverse, and undulating object. It is hard to found any constant and uniform judgment on him.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“We know, Mr. Weller—we, who are men of the world—that a good uniform must work its way with the women, sooner or later.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
