Uniforms are everywhere – but why? Certain jobs have always sported distinctive clothing, to make them appear special and to command respect; plus wearing uniform often feels glamorous! Although soldiers wore highly distinctive uniforms from before the Romans to the late Victorians, the military soon changed to camouflage to make them hard to see. In civilian life today, however, day-glow yellow, pink and orange uniforms are everywhere, making officials stand out and keeping workers safer. All these and more memories are in the ‘In Uniform’ issue of the Bright Old Sparks book series.
