Dark Kingdom Uniform

The Dark Kingdom uniform was worn throughout the Shitennou's time in the Dark Kingdom. It never appears in the past, or after the four once again become protectors of Endymion, so it may be that this uniform was adopted exclusively for the purpose of the Dark Kingdom. Some have also theorized that this uniform was simply a more basic one for everyday wear, while the other one was for more formal occasions. Either way, for the purposes of convenience, I refer to these as the Dark Kingdom uniforms, simply because that is the only time we see them.

The basic unform of the Dark Kingdom is somewhat similar for each person, with the exception of a few defining features. Kunzite, being the individualist that he is, is the exception to this rule. For that reason he'll have his own little section below. Please note that there are many differences between the original sketches shown in the Materials Collection and the final result shown in the manga. I used the Materials Collection images simply because they are the only full-length color images we have of them.

Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite

Uniform
First thing is first: the uniform itself. This is a basic dark blue outfit resembling a typical Japanese boy's high school uniform. This makes sense, as Japanese school unforms are intended to be military in style (specifically, they were designed after navy uniforms).

Jacket
The jacket has a high collar and long sleeves. It fastens on the right side with a single jewel-like button. On the shoulders are fancy epaulettes.

Shirt
They appear to be wearing some sort of shirt under their jacket. You can vaguely see the white collar beneath the jacket collar.

Epaulettes
Epaulletes are decorative shoulder pad type things that are often found on military jackets. They each contain the same jewels as the button on the front.

Jewels
Each character has some kind of polished stone adorning his uniform. Zoisite's is light green, Nephrite's is red, and Jadeite's is light blue.

Piping
Each uniform's jacket is lined with the Shitennou's respective color. In this case, Nephrite is red (gold in the Materials Collection), Zoisite is bright green, and Jadeite is blue (red in the Materials Collection).

Earrings
In the Sailor Moon world, no character, male or female, escapes ear piercings. Jadeite, Nephrite, and Zoisite each wear small round studs of the same color as their piping.

Pants
In the Materials Collection they are shown wearing simple dark blue pants to match their jackets. In the manga, however, their pants are of a black shiny material (vinyl, perhaps? But then again, Tuxedo Kamen's outfit looks shiny too, and I hardly think he's wearing a vinyl tuxedo).

Boots
Knee-high army boots. Nephrite's and Jadeite's are of a light color, possibly white or light grey. Zoisite's boots are black and he wears them with the ankles of his pants overtop rather than tucked in like the other two.

Gloves
Jadeite is the only one who wears these. They are white military-style gloves that reach up to the wrist.

Kunzite

Kunzite's uniform is somewhat the same, with a few defining features. His status as the leader is greatly shown by how he dresses, in everything from his earrings to his cape.

Uniform
The uniform itself is the same style as the others, except that it is a light grey color.

Jacket
Same style as the others, except that his trademark look is to leave the top unbuttoned (except when in battle--in this sense he has far more class than his anime counterpart. What are you trying to do, Kunzite, blind them with your brilliantly studly chest?)

Shirt (or lack thereof)
Kunzite appears to not wear a shirt under his jacket, or perhaps he wears some sort of tank top. In any case, there isn't one visible beneath his jacket, even when he has it partially unbuttoned.

Epaulettes
Same thing here, normal shoulder decorations. Only difference is that they seem to have some use here; they hold his cape on.

Cape
One of the most noteable differences, Kunzite wears a white cape that is attached to his jacket by the epaulettes and extends down to his calves. In this uniform, none of the other Shitennou ever wear a cape, so this is yet one more indication of Kunzite's superiority.

Jewels
In this case, they are white.

Piping
Like the jewels, it is white, or perhaps silver. Maybe he sparkles like a Seramyu character.

Earrings
In his left ear is a white stud, in his right is a dangly diamond-shaped thing. Note the slight similarities between Kunzite's dangly earring and Helios' earrings.

Pants
Well someone at least has the good taste to not wear those black vinyl things. Kunzite wears simple grey pants to match his jacket.

Boots
Like Zoisite, he wears black boots with the cuffs of his pants over top.
