I always thought the naval uniforms worn by Napoleonic Royal Naval officers looked very smart.
As were the Royal horse artillery.

I like pretty much all of the light cavalry uniforms -- dashing and colorful and completely impractical.
Here's a light cavalry uniform that works* -- Cossacks!
*If you can call it a uniform.

Say what one will about the Napoleonic Wars, they still have some of the most beautiful uniforms in history! Such pageantry, such form, such colors!

The single bestest two books....
Military Dress of the Peninsula War by Martin Windrow and Gerry Embleton
1815 The Armies at Waterloo by Ugo Pericoli
For the best uniform guide for the era you'd need a two volume set...
Arms and Uniforms: The Napoleonic Wars by Liliane and Fred Funcken
