    the most beautiful uniform since 17th century ?

    I would say the white uniform of Austrian army.

    Archduke Charles 1797

    I like the uniform of the Prussian musketeers. Not too chaste, not too luxurious and very nice and clean.

    As for me, the uniform of the Marine from the second to the right.



    General of the Army Douglas MacArthur


    Major General William P. Biddle (13th Commandant of the Marine Corps)

    Finally, a man of taste.
    Simple, beautiful, practical, the cuirassiers kicked ass.
    I would have loved to witness a fullscale charge of those (not from the receiving end though)
    A lot less bling than the Carabiniers.
    Did you know that cuirassiers were cherry picked among other horsemen ? they had to be pretty tall for the time and had to be veterans who had taken part in three campaigns beforehand.
    The french expression "coup de latte" is thought to come from the nickname cuirassiers gave to their saber.

    I'd have to go with the uniforms of the Continental Infantry (1779-1783)

    I've always kind of liked the US Dragoon uniforms from the war of 1812, simple, but they look nice:

    Nice in a painting but i'll bet they hardly ever looked like that in real life.
