What do chaplains wear?

As a Chaplain, you wear particular clothing or accessories that help others identify you as a member of the clergy. Your specific outfit will depend on your employer and your faith. For example, military Chaplains and Chaplains who work in the prison system wear a uniform that includes a dress shirt, pants, and jacket along with dress shoes and possibly a hat. If you work in a hospital, long-term care facility, university, or boarding school, you will likely wear a clergy collar and button-down shirt, but the overall dress expectations are more relaxed and casual than uniformed Chaplains.
