A military ball is a formal event attended by those serving in the military along with guests. Each branch of the military typically hosts their own ball. The Army Ball, Navy Ball, Air Force Ball, Marine Corps Ball, and Coast Guard Ball are all hosted on different dates in military communities across the world. The military balls have many traditions that vary by military branch so if it is your first time attending it is a good idea to become familiar with the traditions and etiquette involved. 

Service members attending the ball typically wear one of their uniforms. While all of the military balls are formal, some are more formal than others. Guests or spouses should take the type of uniform being worn as an indication of how formal the event will be. Male guests of a service member should wear a dark suit or tuxedo. For female guests of a service member, a floor length gown is the typical choice or if the ball is less formal then a dress that falls below the knee.

These military balls are full of tradition and therefore dress choices should be something classy and less revealing. Some prefer to color coordinate with the uniform but really any color is appropriate as long as the dress is not too flashy. Think elegant and traditional when choosing a dress.
