The Capitol Guide Service has two uniforms, a full dress and summer uniform. The full dress uniform is notable for its striking red blazer with a circular patch on the left breast. Its accompanied by a white shirt, navy blue tie, and navy blue pants. It can be accompanied by a navy blue vest. It is required for ceremonies and other formal occasions, as well as cold weather. The less formal summer uniform is a red cotton short sleeve polo shirt with circular patch on the left breast. It is accompanied by navy blue pants. The summer uniform is generally not worn until temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
