Since soldiers have to put themselves in danger to protect the people and the Star League carry portable clothes cleaning machines so their uniforms would stay clean as possible. Star League citizens give soldiers in uniform great respect gladly giving soldiers their seats, allowing them to walk to the head of lines, and freely offering them the best they have, so great is the public's awe of soldiers that a historian of the noed that rather scornfully called the uniform "that khaki halo that makes it obvious to all that the wearer was someone who could do no wrong." In general, the soldiers live up to the people's expectations; committing a crime while in uniform is perhaps the most shameful thing a trooper could ever do. Civilians of the time show their admiration by copying the style of the uniforms. For almost the entire life of the Star League, fashion designers created and refined what was called the "Trooper Look," which incorporated elements of the soldiers uniforms into business suits, dresses, and jackets. Children collecting military memorabilia and watching holo-shows about the noble defense forces. Bits of the SLDF uniforms survive in the uniforms of the five Houses today. Examples are the School Rag of the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces and the knitted cap worn by JumpShip crewmen in the Free Worlds League. Even ComStar apparel owes portions of its appearance to the uniforms worn by the magistrates in the administration section of the SLDF. The following are some typical examples of Star League dress. There were variations over the years. For example, the ceremonial swords worn by officers of the Loyal Guards began as blunted daggers when the Star League was created but grew longer over the years until they became rapiers and cutlasses during the League's final days. The half-jacket worn by soldiers of the Regular Army and the cummerbund of naval personnel come in many colors and patterns to indicate the wearer's world of origin or military academy.
