The Jake hologram was wearing period clothing for his era rather than jeans, button shirt and zippered coat from a modern day store like we have seen throughout the first two seasons of picard and other shows.
Do provide specific examples of the off-the-rack clothing.
When he's walking to raffis trailer.
Doesn't look off-the-rack to me. Looks like a specifically-tailored jacket.
Besides, Trek has utilized zippers all the way back to the first couple pilots. You gonna show the same outrage towards William Ware Theiss, too?
No, because this standard is extremely arbitrary.
The difference for many fans is the period piece vs. updated view. Trek is not a period piece to me so treating it as such especially with the absurd clothing choices is laughable to me. A Disney channel original movie did better with future fashion than Star Trek

Here we go again… they’re civilians. Better than looking like they’re wearing couch upholstery.
ETA: Looking through pictures from specifically Picard, as that’s the show you specifically called out, I sure don’t see jeans in any shots. The scene involving Picard at Raffi’s trailer shows him in slacks, a belt with a button-down shirt and a jacket. No jeans. There are things that are purely utilitarian, like a belt. And fashion is cyclical. Maybe after they grew out of the wearing upholstery era, the fashion of the 24th/25th century returned to shirts having buttons.

I was just thinking… we’ve done this argument before, and I’m tapping out before the rerun gets going.
Yeah, I think I’ve said my piece here.

We get it, you don't like modern Trek.
Oh, we're on the topic of civilian clothing again, because apparently it's only futuristic and imaginative if it's an ill fitting jumpsuit.
The outfit Jake wore in his SFA appearance might have been in a similar style to his outfits on DS9, but it was nowhere near as garish as those outfits that look like someone skinned a bus seat, and it looked a lot more comfortable. While there's truth to the claim fashion trends change and can be cyclical or whatever, I can never foresee a time when people are going to choose to wear something which is uncomfortable.
Besides, even the TOS movies showed Kirk wearing jeans and a t-shirt in his free time. (TFF)

I, for one, am glad to see that L.L.Bean has survived into the late 23rd century.
Oh my god! So much denim in that image. And flannel! Won't someone please think of the future?!
Bones is even rocking the Canadian tuxedo. Glad to see our culture survives into the future.Oh my god! So much denim in that image. And flannel! Won't someone please think of the future?!
So judging by the responses, the OP has goal-post-shifted away from the original topic of will SFA S2 air, and is back to some old paper-thin complaint about futuristic clothing styles.
I think the Youtube video I posted is a great example of how pointless it is to speculate about what forms fashion will take a hundred years in the future, much less 300-400 years. Not that I care in the slightest about discussing this, since again, this was just moving goalposts in an effort to distract from a lost argument.
What I will say (getting back on topic), is that P+ will be showing SNW S4 this month, and they'll need something else by the end of the year to keep their Trekkie subscribers paying. So there's no reason not to show SFA S2.
That’s the real point, isn’t it? This is about subscriber base and engagement. The interesting thing is even though SFA hasn’t been a very popular series, it sure has been discussed a lot. What a lot of people don’t get is that even negative discussion is engagement. And sure, I’m certain there are those who use, um, less than legal means, to watch streaming Trek, watching the show on P+ does show as a positive for the series. While Skydance might have decided not to continue, more likely, enough people turned from SFA to not warrant renewing it. But with all the whining about streaming Trek, it took ten years, six series and 251 episodes to reach that point. So yes, SFA season 2 will likely air. Mainly because of Trekkie FOMO.
