Items required as part of the basic uniform; minimum items that must be worn unless the prescribing authority directs otherwise. • Prescribable Items. Items which may be directed or authorized for wear with the basic uniform. They may be worn with basic uniform at the individual's discretion unless otherwise directed. • Optional Items.

Optional items may be worn with the basic uniform at the individual's discretion unless otherwise directed. 

  3. STANDARD PHRASEOLOGY- CONT. • Conspicuous. Obvious to the eye, attracting attention, striking, bright in color. Should blend with (not stand out from) a professional appearance in uniform. What is conspicuous on one person may not be noticeable on another. If attention is naturally drawn to or distracted from the professional appearance, it is conspicuous. • Conservative. Not conspicuous or detracting from the professional appearance while in uniform. • Faddish. A style followed for a short period of time with exaggerated zeal. Styles are enduring, fads are generally short in duration and frequently started by an individual or event in the civilian community. Fads are generally conspicuous and detract from a professional appearance. • EXAMPLE: SILLY BANDS
