Duty uniforms for the Sammies are no-nonsense, since they're often called upon to take part in search-and-rescue missions. The "Emma Peel" catsuit, in various colours, is popular; it's iconic of the "Action Girls" and easy to wear under a spacesuit (if it isn't the spacesuit in and of itself).
Dress uniforms tend toward the seifuku or tuxedo, but (much like 18th- and 19th-century England) individual units have their own uniforms, so there are a few ships out there where the crew wear something out of a Horatio Hornblower movie when being presented to Serenity I. There are also a few squads where the dress uniform is something out of the Sailor Moon movies (sleeveless, strapless, full-length dresses), or Kim Possible, or Card Captor Sakura...
