The Marine Corps Is Changing Its Dress Code For Women

The United States Marine Corps has taken a progressive step by updating its dress code for women, ending the mandatory requirement for pantyhose with uniform skirts, effective immediately.

This departure from tradition, in place since women joined the Marine Corps in 1948, reflects a broader initiative to reassess outdated policies. Maj. Joshua Larson, spokesperson for the Office of the Commandant of the Marine Corps, emphasized the move’s alignment with a ‘common sense’ approach and supportive leadership principles.

The decision promotes inclusivity, flexibility, and practicality within the ranks, reaffirming the Marine Corps’ commitment to fostering respect, dignity, and equity among all service members.
