This may be an unpopular answer for some people, but the number ONE most world-wide recognized uniform is the U.S. Navy enlisted Dress Whites and Dress Blues ("crackerjacks"). Much of the reasoning is the U.S. Navy presence throughout the world, that is an advantage over other countries and other U.S. branches of military. The Marine Corps dress blues are most likely in your "top 5" HOWEVER...to the untrained eye, many civilians confuse Marine Corps and Army service and dress uniforms as they are (again, to the untrained eye) similar in appearance. Marine and Army service uniforms both include green slacks/trousers. Marine and Army dress blues both have blue trousers with single stripes down each side WITH a black jacket with trim around the edges. Conversely, with the U.S. Navy there is no mistaking the bell bottom trousers with flab on the back, "dixie cup" hat and chevron with crow on the left sleeve.
