Uniforms are a very modern idea and the first examples date to the 1500s. Early examples were worn by the Swiss Guards at the Vatican in 1506, by the Yeomen of the Guard in London in 1520, by Spanish Noble Guards in 1646 and by French Mousquetaires du Roi in 1657.

In 1506 armies were still dressed in civilian clothes with every soldier looking different to every other soldier, although coloured sashes or ribbons might be used to indicate which side a man belonged to.

For national armies (as opposed to the elite guard units mentioned above), uniforms first appeared in the 1660s during the Dutch wars, with France adopting pale grey coats and Britain using red coats for the first time.
