I was recently watching a random TNG episode, Qpid, and there's a scene where Picard is with Vash in his quarters, and Dr Crusher shows up as they usually meet for breakfast. But rather than her normal uniform she's just a nice blue sweater.
I just really liked this little touch, as that's one thing that always seems off, is the crews of all 5 Trek shows seem to (99% of the time) never wear anything except their uniforms. Most importantly, even in their off hours.
How drab would it be to literally wear the same thing day in day out. When I get home from a long shift the first I want to do is change. Who are these people who go hang out in Ten Forward for the night and leave their uniforms on?
The Voyager crew especially seemed to wear nothing but.
Another episode I watched recently was VOY 5.01 Night, where the crew are flying through are starless void for two years, and they're all bored with nothing to do, hanging out in the mess hall... still in uniform!!
Well ok, I guess TNG did have a few background artists with civilian clothes, but I'm mainly talking about our main cast members. Ha, its just a little annoyance of mine when watching Trek. Did the producers think us fickle audience members would be unable to recognise the actors if they weren't donned in their usual Starfleet attire?
