When introduced in 1969 the summer each day out of column uniform in the white shirt appeared to fill a role that already had a uniform performing it.  After all, there was already a uniform that used the same white cap, but a cream (yellow) shirt and black trousers that had that role.  Despite this, the white shirt uniform would go on to serve alongside the older black and cream (yellow) version.

Oddly, there is no specific article reference to the uniform in the 1988 regulations text.  Only a picture of the uniform and a small caption describing who is to wear it is given.  From the illustration it is clear that no badges or awards were to be worn on the white shirt.

About the uniform itself, it can be said to use the same white peaked cap with officer cockade that is common to No. 3 summer uniforms.  Caps at this time would likely all have transitioned to being manufactured with plastic visors instead of the older painted fiber board ones.

The white shirt is identical to the 1966 pattern shirt except that it is white in color.  Two breast pockets fastened by a single button are on either side of the black tie and 1975 brass tie clasp.  Slip on white shoulder boards are worn with the shirt.  These are slid through loops before fastening them with a button.

A pair of white trousers with a button fly and two hip pockets is worn with the jacket.  Low white shoes complete the uniform.
