Favorite Garak Costume?

all of them...but you forgot the tux!
You know, I thought he looked pretty good in that turtleneck, but I was more curious about his Cardassian-wear so...
(Sorry about the structure of the poll; it's my first and I had some trouble figuring it out.)
Though I didn't vote for it, I like the Brown Leather one too...it reminds me of G'kar's post-ambassadorial Narn-wear, and I like the idea that creatures with different skin textures/thicknesses would wear garments with different textures/thicknesses. I think it's interesting how most of Garak's costumes are made of thick rug-like material, as opposed to something thin and silky. The metallic Gold one I wonder if it was part of another alien costume they tried on Garak on some laundry-day since he wore it only once of twice.

The crew of DS9 has had an inordinate number of appearances in 20th Century formal wear. Odo and Kira especially look great in their tux and gown. Not to mention Ezri as a 50's waitress...EMHMark613 said:

Dangit, I was just going to post that very comment!
The Evil Elim was so oily, so menacing, so delightfully sadistic - yet strangely, the Evil Elim wasn't too much of a difference from the Good Garak, which I think is a great testament to Any Robinson's subtle, mysterious performance in teh character over the years.
Well, that's because Cardassians prefer a higher ambient temperature to humans. Garak often complained that Starfleet kept the air temperature too cold on the station.
Two racist epithets in as many sentences. Well done.
the 2nd one (Red) defiantly. I kinda wish I could have one of those. It's just such a nice piece of clothing.
Look at the look on Garak's face in the Original Variant picture...no wonder the next costume they created for him was the Black one...that character was so intriguing it's no wonder he made it to series' end.
I like the Original better than the Original Variant though. I guess they were trying to tone down the character's flamboyance with the Variant, but it just looks too cobbled together and makes the look..."louder" somehow. If only they hadn't added the neck-piece. I see they were trying to butch him up by showing less skin, but with Cardassians, more skin looks tougher, more confident.

Same here.
The original striped costume was amazingly hideous, I'd forgotten all about it.
I go with the grey wool, but ugh... answering this question is like answering 'Favorite Majel Barrett appearance'
