I hear you. TMP pajama uniforms were bland enough, and then the producers changed them to Mardi Gras style. Ugh as in ugly.

Say...maybe that's the answer to where the bathroom is on the Enterprise...use the materializer-equipped sonic shower to kill two birds with one stone....Yeah, I always thought that the implication was pretty clear that clothing could be simply materialized onto a person, and that probably all sonic showers were equipped with that capability for routine use.

Costumes were cool. The pilot sucked. Almost as bad as Genesis II.I'd rather have had something like what William Ware Theiss designed for Roddenberry's PLANET EARTH pilot.

That picture makes me wonder if Lurch was the only character that Ted Cassidy played where he even appeared to use his own hair.
The version of them used for the era in between TMP and TNG was absolutely awful- I think seen first when Jack Crusher left that holographic message for Wesley. Without the colored sweaters under the tunics those uniforms just looked like the WORST.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid:
Very interesting thoughts! You've made me look at the TWOK uniforms in a new light.As far as being dated, I personally find the WOK uniforms look at least as dated as TMP's. They fit the new decade's fashion ideals of emphasizing social status and affluence. This was the year after Ronald Reagan brought the morning coat back to the inauguration and white tie and tails to the inaugural ball, the pomp and opulence of the Charles-Diana wedding, and the premiere of Dynasty on TV with its never-ending parade of formal wear and jewels.
The WOK fabric and colors were rich looking, the style more formal. The uniforms were covered with contrasting stripes, straps, buckles and general eye-candy. The insignia became more like jewelry. Class distinctions were emphasized with completely different uniforms for enlisted personnel. Working in shirtsleeves was apparently not the thing for officers. The field jacket with its huge sweater-like collar may be the single most cluttered item of wardrobe in all Trek. It's all very high Eighties to me.
Now those are pretty sharp! With an adjustment away from the 70s-style colors, those would work pretty well today.I'd rather have had something like what William Ware Theiss designed for Roddenberry's PLANET EARTH pilot.

Interestingly reminiscent of Kirk's two-toned admiral's uniform in TMP.
The men's version leaves little to the imagination...I'd rather have had something like what William Ware Theiss designed for Roddenberry's PLANET EARTH pilot.

Look like something out of Forbidden Planet.
You know, I actually respect that aesthetic. It's rarely been done well, though.In the future, people will no longer be burdened with our quaint notions of modesty.
