This is a listing of the outfits worn by Poland in Hetalia: Axis Powers. Changes made to them in other adaptations, such as the anime, are noted where applicable.

Military Uniform (version 1)

In earlier artwork, Poland was depicted in a green jacket with 3/4-length sleeves, green breeches, and tall tan boots, with a green hat as an accessory. Two notable pieces of artwork with this uniform are an early Polonia sketch and his first profile image.

It appears that Himaruya may have possibly ditched this uniform in favor of the later one, though a "chibi" version of Poland appears this way in the anime ending sequence.

Military Uniform (version 2)

This uniform is practically similar to the first, except that Poland wears green capelet over his jacket and appears to have black spats over his boots. He also wears black gloves.

An earlier unused color scheme exists for the uniform, where it is colored blue instead of green. Though Poland has appeared in this uniform in most merchandise, he has yet to actually wear either military uniform in-series.

On the cover of Hetalia: Axis Powers: Sound World, Poland's uniform is colored tan and missing its capelet, presumably due to an artist error.

Common Clothes

In some strips, Poland wears a simple dress shirt and slacks when not in any sort of uniform. The anime depicts his shirt as being pink, while the slacks are a deep gray.

World Meeting

In the published story Meeting Of The World, Poland wears an orange sweater over a white dress shirt and green tie, along with a pair of tan pants. But in the scrapped webcomic version of the same event, he instead wears a dark jacket over a white dress shirt and has his hair tied back into a ponytail.

Gakuen Hetalia

Though he does not appear in the demo or the unfinished screenplay, Poland appears alongside Lithuania in concept art. He is shown wearing the winter uniform with a blue sweater, and has a pink cat backpack on one sholder. An earlier note of Himaruya's stated that he wears the boys' uniform, and not the girls'.^[1]

In a gag doodle drawn at the end of Checkmating Poland (as well as a "chibi" illustration), Poland is shown wearing the school uniform with a skirt, along with hairclips. In the chibi illustration, he also seems to be wearing Mary Jane-style shoes.

Cross-Dressing

Poland has also been shown to occasionally cross-dress, including the aforementioned sketch of him in a girls' uniform. This aspect of his character has become very well-known, although he technically has not appeared enough for it to be a continuous running gag.

In the first Halloween comic, Poland appears in a sleeveless maid dress and wears a bow in his hair. Due to the comic being in black and white sketches, it is unknown what color the dress might be.

He later appears in the deleted follow-up to the 2007 Christmas event, wearing a skimpy Santa-style outfit. It consists of a Santa hat, gloves that go past the elbow with white fur trim, a tank top with a white rabbit-head accent (and what appears to be a white pom-pom), and suspenders attached to a skirt with two rabbit-heads on it. It can be assumed that the entire outfit is red and white, to go with the Christmas theme.
