Here in Washington State, Navy Region Northwest has Service Dress Blues as
the service uniform from October through April. Summer Dress Whites (short
sleeves) from May through September. Service Dress Khakis (CNT's with
devices and ribbons) may be worn year round. Usually if you are standing
the duty or attending a function where coat and tie are appropriate, one
wears the blues or whites. Otherwise folks wear khakis. Through the early
90's working blues were authorized during the winter months, but with khakis
being authorized year round I don't see them as much. And of course,
everyone finds an excuse to wear cammies it seems - exaggeration but you get
the point.

In fact Brunswick was the last place he wore the old Service
Dress Khaki (the one with long sleeves, tie, dress coat and
brown shoes).
Jeeeze...can someone tell us what commissioned officers are
wearing now? I left the Navy in 1967 after 10 years of service.
My uniform didn't change much though, double-breasted blue to
single-breasted blue at PanAm.
