A character is acknowledged by other characters as being more attractive because they're dressed in some type of uniform. There's something about a person in uniform. It's not just due to Hollywood's inability to cast unattractive people; something about the cut, colors and symbolism of military drag can bump a person up a couple of points on the hotness meter. For one thing, uniforms are designed to look… well… uniform, so that troops look good en masse. Dress uniforms are deliberately tailored to create a neat-but-athletic look; tactically practical battle uniforms are less pretty, but have their own appeal… yes, even on females. It's the martial equivalent of She Cleans Up Nicely. Compare Fair Cop, Hot Men at Work, Hello, Sailor!, and Firemen Are Hot. While traditionally a result of a Female Gaze, that's rapidly changing. Uniformed men sometimes have A Lady on Each Arm, as seen in the trope image. Doesn't have to do with OTHER kinds of "privates", although they may well possess them… Note that this is an in-universe trope, not about soldiers that you personally find hot. |

Hostile Takeover (Shwartz) has Commander Marc Davidoff, Space Marine and Ace Pilot. Though he's heir to one of the largest oligarchies in the galaxy, and as athletic as you would expect from a man of his job description, CC notes he's not really as handsome as her social-climber fiance. It's Davidoff's blunt manner, spiffy uniform and dedication to duty that make him so attractive. | |

Eiger from Shadowrun Returns Dragonfall got the name from a fellow recruit who compared her to the mountain of the same name, and described them as "beautiful but difficult to climb". Eiger didn't appreciate the cheap sexual allusion and broke his jaw. Her official art bears this out; Eiger is quite attractive in spite of (or maybe because of) her being an eight-foot wall of horns, tusks, muscles and killer instinct. | |

Doctor Who: Rory Williams looks cute in civvies (or his nurse's scrubs), but totally badass in any uniform, be it museum security guard, modern combat fatigues or particularly his signature Roman centurion outfit. In "A Christmas Carol", he's dressed as the last one for his honeymoon, so clearly his girlfriend/wife Amy loves it too. "Invasion of the hot Italians": Amy is dressed in her kiss-o-gram constable outfit. Obviously, her love Rory likes that. In "The Curse of Fenric", Jean and Phyllis make comments along the lines of "I love men in uniform" to the soldiers they meet on the path to the beach. In the novelization, the girls' lines stay the same, but are delivered mockingly because the soldiers are elderly Home Guard members. |

Child of the Storm: Steve Rogers being the most prominent, with a number of characters commenting on how good he looks. Colonel 'Rhodey' Rhodes is handsome enough that the prospect of topless pictures induced Instant Waking Skills in Carol. Brigadier Jack O'Neill is his normal Silver Fox self, turning up in tactical gear and inducing a form of Parental Sexuality Squick in his niece, Carol, who notices how Noriko is crushing on him. His mother, Alison Carter, is no slouch either, looking closer to her late 40's than actual age of early 60's, and being described as an elegantly attractive older woman. When she removes the ageing make-up, she looks closer to her late twenties. Super soldier genes have their advantages. Peggy Carter (posthumously... probably), as per MCU canon, looking very good in a uniform - enough that she drew Steve's eyes, certainly. |

Horatio Hornblower: When Horatio is promoted to Lieutenant and gets his new Navy uniform, he's praised by his tailor (obviously) that it's a great improvement, compared to his Midshipman look. Men aboard the Indefatigable tease him and his particular friend Archie jokes that there is a complete stranger among them. | |

Richard Gere in his dress whites sweeping Debra Winger off her feet in the closing scene of An Officer and a Gentleman iconifies this trope and inspired countless parodies. | |

Timecop: In "Rocket Science", when Jack Logan returns from his latest mission in a military uniform, one of his colleagues notes how attractive he looks. Purely tongue in cheek, since he was forced to wear a Wehrmacht uniform. | |

The Locked Tomb: The Sixth House actually factors "genetic outreach potential" into its Cohort assignments, including a unit of incompetent but good-looking fighters whose primary duty is to reel in spouses and Chosen Conception Partners on offworld reserve assignments. | |

Conversed in Baccano! 1931 - Another Junk Railroad. When Claire goes to Rachel for advice on what to get for Chane, she suggests clothes. Upon hearing this Claire immediately jumps to the conclusion that he should get her a military uniform, the suggestion being that he believes anyone automatically looks sexier in a military uniform. Rachel manages to talk him down into getting her a normal dress, but not out of sewing knife-holsters into it. | |

The Bolt Chronicles: In this case involving a baseball uniform. When Penny dresses Bolt in a cap and jersey top in "The Baseball Game," his sweetheart Mittens finds him even more attractive than usual — sufficiently so that she comes on strongly to Bolt and they dash off for a lovemaking session. | |

Miranda (2009): Miranda and her best friend Stevie both love a man in any uniform and they both squee and compete for his attention whenever any such man happens to come to their store. They include cops, firemen, Navy men etc. They like even costume versions. | |

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Agents of the Initiative are quite handsome. Riley's Token Black Friend laments that they can't tell girls that they're demon slayers so they have to rely on their looks to get the girls. | |

Ciaphas Cain: Ciaphas Cain mentions this as a routine problem he has to deal with as regimental commissar, because apparently there's just something irresistible about the contents of a Guard uniform... and it looks even better on the bedroom floor. This problem crops up in a couple of different ways for Cain. He himself sometimes receives attention from people he knows he should stay away from; second, as commissar it's his job to deal with the occasional results of his troops' extracurricular activities. | |

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Nemesis", a girl from the village says that the Defenders, which Chakotay has joined, "glimpse great" in their jungle combat gear. They're actually the villains of the story. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): At the beginning of "Is My Very Nature That of a Devil", Lestat de Lioncourt is briefly distracted from the newspaper article he was reading when two soldiers walk by, and he stares at them appreciatively. Louis de Pointe du Lac admires his Old Flame Jonah Macon in military garb: "Good fit, this uniform." Lestat, who had stalked Louis and Jonah and heard the abovementioned line, expresses his jealousy the following evening by inviting a few dozen soldiers to their home. (Lestat's attitude towards Louis in this scene can be summarized as, "So you like men in uniform? Now you have more than you can handle!") |

Friends: In "The One With The Chicken Pox", a shore leave visit by Phoebe's submariner old flame gets the group discussing the appeal of a uniform. Inspired by Phoebe's sailor, Ross later treats Rachel by getting hold of some Navy whites and attempting the "Officer and a Gentleman" carry out. Discussed later when she asks him if he still had the Navy uniform, he says no, but might have an old band uniform from high school. Rachel says to remember all the sex he didn't have in high school. |
