💨 Abstract

The UK's Royal Navy has updated its mess dress code policy to include ethnic outfits such as the sari, reflecting broader forms of British cultural identity. This change is part of the "Cultural Equivalent" initiative by the Royal Navy's Race Diversity Network. The move aims to allow officers to celebrate their heritage while maintaining uniformity above the waist. However, it has drawn criticism from some veterans who question its relevance in a disciplined service.
