Lower Decks Trailer Analysis

My daughter is here and watched the trailer. First thing she pointed out is the four characters reminded her of the Teen Titans.
 
At 6:25, it looks like Boimler is wearing a skant!
Yeah as Michael said, it's a dress uniform. The early TNG ones looked similar.

I think that's just a dress uniform, judging by the black stuff on his legs (presumably pants). TBH as much as I'd love a reintroduction of skants, I feel like those would lead to a lot of cheap "he's not as masculine because he's wearing these clothes" jokes, and that'd suck. If they can pull it off, resisting the easy jokes, I'm all for it though!
 
Okay, wow, we're all really into dress uniforms.

On the other hand, the uniform looks exactly like the regular one, while TNG dress uniforms had slight variations to the standard, so maybe it is a skant.

Maybe it was cold and he wanted to put on some additional pants. Honestly, I have commited worse fashion crimes in the name of not dying of temperature :D

And those showed up as late as DS9 as when Sisko was promoted to Captain. Worf and Jadzia may have worn those dress uniforms in Season 4 during the former's trial for allegedly killing those Klingons aboard that ship. They may still have been in use in Starfleet even after the Dominion War.

They were also used in "You are Cordially Invited," (season 6) with some changes. That was before Insurrection introduced the new dress uniform.
 
Yeah, they kept using them throughout Voyager since they weren't affected by uniform changes.

Although those dress uniforms continued to be used on Voyager, the last time we saw them in the Alpha Quadrant was in DS9's sixth season. We see a new dress uniform introduced in Insurrection, which was subsequently seen worn by Dr. Bashir and Admiral Ross when they were on Romulus in Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges.

That's easily subverted; just show the bloke in the kilt with some big steroid-fueled muscles and an even bigger sporran, catching a large boulder in mid-fling. :devil:
