Special agents and special officers of the Secret Service wear attire that is appropriate for their surroundings, in order to blend in as much as possible. In most circumstances, the attire of a close protection shift is a conservative suit, but it can range from a tuxedo to casual clothing as required by the environment. Stereotypically, Secret Service agents are often portrayed wearing reflective sunglasses and a communication earpiece. Often their attire is customized to conceal the wide array of equipment worn in service. Agents wear a distinctive [[lapel pin]] that identifies them to other agents.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://qz.com/1478513/new-us-secret-service-lapel-pins-will-come-with-a-secret-security-feature/|title=New US Secret Service lapel pins will come with a secret security feature|publisher=Quartz.com|date=November 30, 2018|access-date=September 26, 2019|archive-date=September 27, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190927032741/https://qz.com/1478513/new-us-secret-service-lapel-pins-will-come-with-a-secret-security-feature/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The attire for Uniformed Division Officers includes standard police uniforms or [[utility uniform]]s and ballistic/identification vests for members of the counter-sniper team, Emergency Response Team (ERT), and canine officers. The [[shoulder patch]] of the Uniformed Division consists of the U.S. coat of arms on white or black, depending on the garment. Also, the shoulder patch is embroidered with "U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division Police" around the emblem.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://americanhistory.si.edu/presidency/2b4_b.html|title=The American Presidency|publisher=Americanhistory.si.edu|date=March 14, 2012|access-date=August 9, 2012|archive-date=August 19, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120819145448/http://americanhistory.si.edu/presidency/2b4_b.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
