For their roles on the show it could be expected.
Since it was supposed to be a Utopian future far people would be non-existent.
I thought that they might have killed off Riker and replaced him........,
Little things in Trek that just bug you...

Weeelll, this I'm sure there were a couple crewmen I'd have loved to see in something a tad more revealing. It's pretty silly to have downright skintight, pyjama-looking uniforms to begin with. Why not make it a little sillier and have rqual opportunity hotness? 
It may have been set in the future but it was still women in the 60s
I think Riker would have looked fine in the cheerleader dress.Weeelll, this I'm sure there were a couple crewmen I'd have loved to see in something a tad more revealing.

And in later seasons a tight, dark blue boat neck long dress and some tasteful open toe shoes, 3 or 4 inch heel, wavy shoulder length hair. I think that would have been good.
Picard would have looked good in a tight black/ blue v-neck t-shirt, and black tights and maybe something simple like ballet slippers, black.
Otherwise on the ship everyone should've wearing the same uniform.
Do, if it was a Western, done in the 1960's,
The women in the movie should have been
Wearing miniskirts?
Try and try but it doesn't make sense to have the women dressed like that.
To me it makes perfect sense being that it was filmed in the 60s and some of the women wanted to wear them.Do, if it was a Western, done in the 1960's,

There were to my knowledge no women on '60s TV whose every-episode wardrobe was as skimpy as Ron Ely's on Tarzan.
Westerns are different as a historical genre because we know what people actually wore at that time.
Sci-fi is all conjecture of a time that hasn't happened yet. For better or worse, sci-fi clothing designs tend to reflect what is considered contemporary or cutting-edge at the time the production is made.

And maybe no underwear too?
We got a feminist here.
Better than being an idiot!
If that's meant to be an insult, you should really go home and rethink your life. I am already tired of dealing with you, so let me be perfectly clear: knock it off.
That's not helpful.
Yes, there are several of us.
I get that miniskirts are an issue that bugs some people. In my mind, futurewear, especially in an expansive intercultural galaxy can be anything, everything, and perhaps nothing, but as a standard uniform design it seems out of place.
Trek has answered the miniskirt issue in varied ways. By removing them as soon as possible (TMP), by attempting to adapt them for men too (early TNG), and by treating them as a joke (Trials and Tribble-ations). There was pushback when the Abrams films used some miniskirt uniforms. And Discovery notably has no such uniform in their two designs (lining up with The Cage on at least this issue).
TOS treats women horribly a few times during its run, from The Cage ("women on the bridge?!") to Turnabout Intruder ("Your world of Starfleet Captains does not admit women!"), that are all products of its time, and are often rightfully ignored or circumvented in later Star Trek media. The miniskirts are the least of its problems.

TOS also had a female Romulan commander and many of the episodes were written by women. Roddenberry wanted a female second in command but NBC wouldn't allow it
The network was fine with having a woman as First Officer. What they didn't like was Majel Barrett, an actress with limited experience, playing what would have been a regular role in a weekly series just because she happened to be the producer's girlfriend (mistress, actually, since G.R. was still married to first wife Eileen at the time).
The Roddenberry version -- that the reactionary old NBC suits didn't want a female second-in-command -- has been pretty thoroughly debunked.
That every alien species manages to perfectly function in the exact same Earth-like atmosphere & gravity.
