In the 22nd century, the Klingon Defense Force did not appear to have uniforms, per se; what they did wear was garb that was leather-based and brown in color. Their gear consisted of edged weaponry or d'k tahgs, primarily for close combat. These were worn in a sash around their shoulder, which may or may not have carried their House symbol. In addition, animal skins and furs were worn.

Several pieces could be added to those outfits, such as a PADD pouch and a bat'leth strap.

By 2256, the Klingon Uniform consisted of a black bodysuit with a golden metallic breastplate worn over it, which covered the wearer's torso. Approximately three years later, this uniform's breastplate was modified to have slightly larger shoulder pads. A decorated sash, which commanding officers would wear across their left shoulder, was also added.

By the 2260s, Klingon Uniforms continued to be made of gold-colored, metallic substances, with a sash across the left shoulders of commanding officers. Every Klingon Defense Force member wore a black, long-sleeved undershirt, with a gold-colored vest on top.

They wore trousers made out of the golden-black-patterned fabric, but in a different hue, as well as additionally, they wore black long boots as well as a black belt with a belt buckle with six round disks and a Klingon disruptor on the left.

During the 2270s-2290s, the Klingon Defense Force adopted a new uniform. The basic form consisted of a black tunic and black trousers, topped with metallic gray armor vests and large shoulder pads. Several variants on this uniform type were seen: some warriors did not wear the undershirt, and some officers wore sashes or stoles over the vests.

Klingon warriors of the time often wore special, pronged, fingerless gloves on their hands, to give them more of an advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

After 2290, the Klingon Uniform combined elements from the 2260s and 2280s uniforms. Warriors wore a silver metallic uniform with large shoulder pads and the six-button belt buckle. Officers sometimes wore a special stole over their shoulders, showing medals from past achievements.

The standard uniform was also worn by officials in the Klingon High Council, including the Chancellor, as well as by the personal guards of Klingon Great Houses, suggesting that its significance was not purely military.

By 2380, the Klingon Uniform had been changed again. It bore some similarities to its previous design, albeit with a more streamlined appearance, two-toned gray shoulder armor, and the addition of maroon-colored elements. Additionally, certain high-ranking officers had armor that was trimmed with gold coloring.

Females had the option to wear a uniform similar to the standard uniform but with a ling skirt. Also the chest plate could be open to show cleavage. These uniforms also came with red and green options for the arms and collar.

There was also a garment worn by commanders or captains that looked like a sleeveless trenchcoat actually has a hood on the back but its only ever seen down. Other warriors, like Vixis, wore a sleeveless vest version.

Some very high-ranking Klingon officers and their staff wore a black, more leather-like version of the standard uniform, often accompanied by a sash, in the 2290s.

The Klingon baldric was a wide, usually ornamental belt worn over one shoulder and around the waist of noble Klingons. It contained the symbol of a Klingon House.

Some baldrics were used to hold knives or daggers.
