ENT's uniforms are my favorite. They looked like you really were serving on a ship in space. And they were very utilitarian.
Pockets really DO make a huge difference.

What are your opinions regarding Star Trek that are, shall we say, unorthodox?
I feel sort of stupid that after 40 years I never picked up on that.
Made them look like they dressed in a hurry.
It's reminiscent enough of the early TNG dress uniforms, so you could sort of see where they were going with losing the belt and undershirt.
I'm not a big fan of the 80s movies uniforms, they're overly fussy and probably the least "Star Trek" looking costume they could have done - imagine if tried to pull off something like that in one of the modern shows, lol.
I think the TMP uniforms would be looked at more favorably today if they had black pants and collars. Although, what's a bit funny is people describe the colors as being "70s", when the palette really isn't all that different from the TOS pilots.

Best looking uniform SNW/Kelvin/Discovery S1,2
Least practical uniform SNW/TOS/Kelvin/Discovery S1,2/TMP
Ugliest uniform The Cage/TMP except the Admiral

The first one, with just the gold piping around the neck, or the later one with the added black piping?
Oh, thank you. That had slipped my mind.
Just with the gold piping, without the black. That would be the one used in "The Doomsday Machine," for instance, I believe.
The one with the black piping would be the one used in "Bread and Circuses," for instance, I believe. The left black piping doesn't quite work in front at the center where the left part of the shirt crosses over the right. But that's a minor nitpick. It's usually OK. This is why choosing one over the other.
If only Wise had been able to make TMP as interesting, as tense, and even as disturbing as he'd made The Andromeda Strain.
I find TMP far more interesting.
Without the undershirt it looks like the jacket just opens to flash peopleThe evolution of the Monster Maroon jackets and insignia/commbadges over 71 years.
"boldly go" was no joke!!
Honestly, I've no idea which preference is more unorthodox. Not equally, but I like them both, so that should put me aright!

The Andromeda Strain is a good movie, I’d just rather watch TMP if given a choice.
2349 Starfleet was a hot mess. 
The fact that they looked military is why I disliked them.
Kirk looking like a soldier after describing himself as a soldier was quite shocking.
Kirk looking like a 19th century soldier is at least a bit odd, surely.
I'm not sure why one needs all that heavy wool on a climate controlled ship. Especially when the thing only gets hotter when the climate control stops working (as evidenced by the sweat pouring off the good Admiral in The Wrath of Khan).
