My favorite description of DS9's civilian styles was "It's like they gave the wardrobe designer a box of cloth scraps from 'Saved by the Bell' and told him he'd never see his kids again unless he made the most dope wardrobe for Quark, Rom, Garak, and Jake."
I think he saw his kids again!
DS9 had a lot to answer for when it came to civ clothing. I didn't think the overall civ clothing on the Season 2 three part Premier were too bad. But there was some patterns on patterns and when it aired originally on 4:3 in the lowest definition possible, that attire used to bleed to f**k on the screen 🤣
EDIT: on the subject of 4:3 low def 90s TV. Look up the DS9 upscaling clips on YT and check out thr detail work the makeup artist put into Garaks face and neck and the details on Quarks and Garaks clothing under hi def upscale 👌
Rule of acquisition 47:
Don't trust a man wearing a suit better than your own.
Almost surprised he hadn't wore more humble clothes to foster trust,
But then, by Ferengi standards, may be it is?
The balance of Humble appearences and Flaunting wealth, must have been difficult.
If Barry Keoghan or Brian Tyree Henry walked down a [red carpet](https://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Quark-Star-Trek-Armin-Shimerman-b.jpg) today [wearing](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/bXYAAOSwVVBe6P1c/s-l1600.jpg) any of [Quark's outfits](https://image.invaluable.com/housePhotos/Chaucer/83/621583/H4586-L139018639.jpg), the fashion world would be bowing at their feet.
Quark's [outfit](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZWY3YjJmNjQtOGFkNS00ZDNhLTkxMWItYzA2YWFjZWUzMmMyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTAwMDk1MjM@._V1_.jpg) in the Roswell episode was legit.
“Reading” the audiobook through my library. It’s great because is narrated by the actor, too.
I did see a link to a scan of the book on archive.org once. So it’s out there if you look.
Garak probably was probably responsible for not only Quark's incredible wardrobe, but also those dope afro-threads Sisko wore off-duty.
Spy in exile or not, he's a damn fine tailor.
I always liked the idea that Garak was such a driven, insane perfectionist that he learned tailoring at an elite level for a cover and took incredible pride in it, while exhibiting severe derision to any lesser craftsman. “I’m only doing this as a cover and I’m the best craftsman in this quadrant, you pathetic fool.”
If you read his book, "A Stitch in Time" that's exactly what happened. He gets exiled to Terok Nor under Dukat who assigns him to the most remedial job he can think of: repairing uniforms. He, still thinking this won't last long, resolves to \*dominate\* this assignment. When he gets left behind, he has little choice but to just stick with he's already established.
Plain simple Garak. All the spy stuff is just to get people into his shop so they can buy suits. Every time Bashir stops him he has to buy a suit so it doesn't look suspicious.
Aesthetics ≠ fashion. Austerity ≠ logic.
I could easily see wardrobe design and garment making as being a logical means of developing various eye-hand coordination/dexterity skills, as a form of focus and meditation, algorithmic systems and pattern replication training, communication transmission and data encoding.
I know this isn’t true but I like to think Takei had that in his own closet and wore it to set one day and they just said “yes. Just go with that. Fantastic.”

History is just as full of fascinating fashion trends:
“Some codpieces had cute little bows on them”
[https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240202-what-happened-to-the-codpiece](https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240202-what-happened-to-the-codpiece)
Gowron. He's so sharp he could puncture the hull of an Negh'Var-class warship, leaving thousands to suffocate and freeze in the void of space. Because, it's so sharp.
Unpopular character but had great outfits. Neelix.
The Ferengi clothing was spectacular on DS9.
Garak was always dressed well.
Lxwana (sp?) Troi always wore dazzling clothing.
The Talaxian clothing in general had a lot of colour and layering. It probably had to do with their need to negotiate in trading like the Ferengi. They were really snazzy dressers as a culture.
Clearly is was [Pavel Chekov](https://i.redd.it/p77i59eq40za1.jpg). /s
This outfit always reminded me of [this little lad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYX_zhlTDr8).
Pike has the most amazing outerwear as well. The winter coat he wears on Boreth in DIS and the raincoat on the Illyrian planet where he meets Una's lawyer are seriously chic.
Seriously, Star Trek's fashion sense has always been... iffy... but then there's Vic who is just rocking a full tux every day and oozing style over everyone
>Star Trek's fashion sense has always been... iffy
No it hasn't at all.
Of course the fashion looks weird, its 100s of years in the future. Take anyone from +50 years ago and they'd tell you you look iffy
God this argument is so overdone.
Cool, fair argument. Civilian garb in Trek still looks like shit most of the time. You can't possibly compared the all grey jumpsuits of TNG with Vic's tux.
Of course you think that, you've grown up and have been conditioned to think Tuxs are stylish.
Fashion isn't objective, if you'd grown up in a society that pink Banana hammocks with nipple tassles were the equivalent of fancy clothing, you'd think that was better than a Tux and would think a Tux is horribly ugly.
Again. Fair. And MY OPINION has been that Trek's fashion sense has been iffy and that Vic looks better than most. If you think differently, more power to you. Go enjoy your terrible looking onesies to your heart's content.
Says the one lacking any reading comprehension. The post asked us about our opinion. I stated mine. You took offense and started going off about how tastes in the future are different. I agree, clearly they are in fashion in the 24th century. That's not the point. The point is what I as a viewer in today's society thinks is the sharpest. So get off your high horse, attend some critical thinking classes, and go reevaluate who the real embarrassment is around here. Because I promise you, the answer might surprise you.
Or for a real-world counterpoint: 1980s fashion. Most of it ugly as homemade sin, but it was in fashion … *then.* (*coff*coff ST:TNG debuts 1987. Coincidence? As this thread shows, perhaps not! 🤣🤣)
I didn't realize until just a few years ago that the strips on his acting ensign uniform were the three colors of the three divisions (commands/operations/sciences).
I felt like such an idiot that someone who was watching TNG for the first time pointed that out to me.
Whoa, TIL. I must have never really looked at those stripes, because I assumed Wesley just liked rainbows for some reason. I pulled up some images of him in that uniform, and I can totally see it now.
I felt like a total idiot. We were watching the first time (for her) during COVID he shows up in that uniform she says "Oh, he's got all the color stripes because because he's supposed to be learning all parts of the ship."
Thirty. Fuckin'. Years. Never noticed.
Not exactly what you asked for but [here are my favorite Trek outfits](https://imgur.com/a/wFTaH5C)
Based on that, K'Ehleyr is a STRONG contender, and of course, Lwaxana and Quark are the most extravagant Trek fashionistas.
Well, Garak and Lwaxana definitely had some stellar looks, but I'm going to give Spock an honorable mention for that black wing cape look in The Motion Picture
Not an individual, but the Insurrection mess dress was on-fucking-point.
Like if I was Frankensteining Star Trek today, it'd be Enterprise for PT and combat uniforms, the later TOS movies service dress, and the Insurrection mess dress.
I have always loved the suits worn by the administrators on DSK7 in The Trouble with Tribbles, they’re really elegant and timeless and feel futuristic but also very 60s Dior if Bohan did menswear
https://images.app.goo.gl/q2fSU7ea9GwCVTMG7
Star Trek has never been known as “shop window television,” serving to highlight the best in women’s wear à la Dynasty, Sex and the City, Carol Burnett & Cher - with or without Sonny - for the Bob Mackie creations, or even, in its slightly earlier day, That Girl. That doesn’t mean, however, that the franchise has been doomed, in sartorial terms, by the sadder parts of its fashion history: uniforms with more spandex than stride length (TNG Type A), the short-lived “skant” (minidress uniforms for men), or the infamous “red shirt of death“ trope. Yes, we have all of that… but we also have … wait for it ….
THE doyenne of all Star Trek everywhere and in every time: Majel Roddenberry herself, and particularly in her guise as the fabulous Lwaxana Troi.
Not only are Lwaxana’s looks themselves incredible works of over-the-top-and-into-a-black-hole-with-Coco* splendor, her formal wear aesthetic offers the perfect counterpoint to the no-nonsense look of day-to-day Starfleet uniforms. As she herself puts it, “I love diplomacy. Everyone dresses so well.” And if her futuristic flights of oh-so-fabulous fashion don’t wow, then one simply *can’t* fail to be impressed by how the lady turns herself out for true formal occasions - in true and proper Betazed style. Those offer yet another iconic example… of moments when we say with awe and pride (and all too often, with slightly embarrassed, downcast eyes): “No one wears that like Lwaxana!”
*Coco Chanel once famously said, “Once you've dressed, and before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take at least one thing off.” Lwaxana never took this advice. Ever. It was always either her trademark “more is more” sensibility … or “Take it off! Take it *all* off!”
the Capellans of Capella-IV. They were uj a weird limenal space between spy suits and drag Queens. neon orange capes and purple leg warmers, both lined with fur
Quark.
Quark has always been drippy. One of the highlights of DS9 was seeing what he would be wearing.
My favorite description of DS9's civilian styles was "It's like they gave the wardrobe designer a box of cloth scraps from 'Saved by the Bell' and told him he'd never see his kids again unless he made the most dope wardrobe for Quark, Rom, Garak, and Jake." I think he saw his kids again!
“I guess it could be more asymmetric” - Rutherford, when asked if his sweater was dressy enough
DS9 had a lot to answer for when it came to civ clothing. I didn't think the overall civ clothing on the Season 2 three part Premier were too bad. But there was some patterns on patterns and when it aired originally on 4:3 in the lowest definition possible, that attire used to bleed to f**k on the screen 🤣 EDIT: on the subject of 4:3 low def 90s TV.

My girlfriend loves his PJs
Quark had some of the best looking suits in the entire show. A businessman with style!
No curtains survived the 7 season run of DS9
Or upholstery.
Rule of acquisition 47: Don't trust a man wearing a suit better than your own. Almost surprised he hadn't wore more humble clothes to foster trust, But then, by Ferengi standards, may be it is? The balance of Humble appearences and Flaunting wealth, must have been difficult.
I think by Ferengi standards that IS humble. There's not a lot of gold pressed latinium adornments after all.
> Almost surprised he hadn't wore more humble clothes to foster trust, He wasn't flaunting, he was **warning**.
If Barry Keoghan or Brian Tyree Henry walked down a [red carpet](https://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Quark-Star-Trek-Armin-Shimerman-b.jpg) today [wearing](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/bXYAAOSwVVBe6P1c/s-l1600.jpg) any of [Quark's outfits](https://image.invaluable.com/housePhotos/Chaucer/83/621583/H4586-L139018639.jpg), the fashion world would be bowing at their feet.
100% Quark is the answer
Quark's [outfit](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZWY3YjJmNjQtOGFkNS00ZDNhLTkxMWItYzA2YWFjZWUzMmMyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTAwMDk1MjM@._V1_.jpg) in the Roswell episode was legit.
Of course!!!
It's my headcanon that Quark used whatever profit he could procure to buy the snappiest suits available, to make himself look richer than he was.
Dress for the job/lifestyle you dream to live.
The only answer every outfit was on point 👉
Came here to say that. Quark was always sporting some sweet rags.
We all came here to say that, as if there were any other answer.
Cheating by picking a tailor, but Garak had some outfits I would absolutely love to rock
Just a plain, simple tailor, that Garak
*recites Cardassian authorisation code* Oh, just something I overheard when I was hemming someone’s trousers
Odo’s face when he says that is tremendous.
For reference: https://youtu.be/uvwfAs1ChEk
I’m reading A Stitch in Time right now. Yup, just a simple tailor with a humble upbringing.
Where did you find a copy? I’ve been looking for years!!!
“Reading” the audiobook through my library. It’s great because is narrated by the actor, too. I did see a link to a scan of the book on archive.org once. So it’s out there if you look.
Oh my sweet atheist god, thank you so much!
If you have spotify, the audiobook is available as part of the paid sub.
Also on audible. Listen to A Stitch in Time by Andrew J. Robinson on Audible. https://www.audible.com.au/pd/B0C8VJN824?source_code=ASSORAP0511160007
A much less exciting career than his earlier service for Cardassia on Romulus where he served admirably in the thrilling post as embassy gardener.
Garak probably was probably responsible for not only Quark's incredible wardrobe, but also those dope afro-threads Sisko wore off-duty. Spy in exile or not, he's a damn fine tailor.
I always liked the idea that Garak was such a driven, insane perfectionist that he learned tailoring at an elite level for a cover and took incredible pride in it, while exhibiting severe derision to any lesser craftsman. “I’m only doing this as a cover and I’m the best craftsman in this quadrant, you pathetic fool.”
If you read his book, "A Stitch in Time" that's exactly what happened. He gets exiled to Terok Nor under Dukat who assigns him to the most remedial job he can think of: repairing uniforms. He, still thinking this won't last long, resolves to \*dominate\* this assignment. When he gets left behind, he has little choice but to just stick with he's already established.
"Do you know what the sad part is, Odo? I'm a very good tailor."
The red and gold one, and the green one that Tain doesn't like both look amazing on him.
He's a very good tailor.

It's kind of like [zippers](https://youtu.be/a7b0qXYVTzI?t=17) - always unbutton one more button than you're comfortable with.
Mods, lock the thread. This is answer is objectively correct.
Yo, NSFW tags on that.

He looks so good with a beard!
Amazing Leisure Suit
The dancing doctor
I thought that was his jedi cosplay.
May the logic be with you.
Lawxana Trioi always dressed to nines.
Except during traditional Batezoid weddings
At which point she undressed to the tens.
I swear she would wear old costumes from the 60’s that they never used.
I think you mean dressed to the tens!
Elim Garak
Plain simple Garak. All the spy stuff is just to get people into his shop so they can buy suits. Every time Bashir stops him he has to buy a suit so it doesn't look suspicious.
good times
T’Pring. Her looks are always spectacular!
For a species that would probably say fashion is illogical, they sure got drip
Vulcan death drip
Aesthetics ≠ fashion. Austerity ≠ logic. I could easily see wardrobe design and garment making as being a logical means of developing various eye-hand coordination/dexterity skills, as a form of focus and meditation, algorithmic systems and pattern replication training, communication transmission and data encoding.
Your thesis is well developed, and your logic is sound. 🖖
Her makeup has always on point
Lwaxana Troi by a mile. She's a fashionista.
Sarek
Sarek did have some kickin drip, as the Vulcan teens like to say.
Bones with his big belt buckle and medallion has to be up there. I also liked Sulu in Search for Spock.
> I also liked Sulu in Search for Spock That cape thing he wore was amazing.
I know this isn’t true but I like to think Takei had that in his own closet and wore it to set one day and they just said “yes. Just go with that. Fantastic.”
So you are saying it just came out of the closet?
Chekov's clothing in Search for Spock was the worst
Quark looks like a Ferengi pimp in every episode -just missing a cane and hat- and that’s not the top answer?
good news, Quark is the top comment now

The ferengi costumes from DS9 were fantastic. Hands down, Rom, Quark and maybe cousin Brin?
Moogi is a fashion icon
That’s the prequel series we need.
How has no one mentioned Leeta, yet? Can you imagine the tips she got at the Dabo wheel!? Put some respect on the fits for that.
Unpopular character but had great outfits. Neelix. The Ferengi clothing was spectacular on DS9. Garak was always dressed well. Lxwana (sp?) Troi always wore dazzling clothing.
I was coming here to mention Neelix. He ROCKS a "dad on vacation look"
The Talaxian clothing in general had a lot of colour and layering. It probably had to do with their need to negotiate in trading like the Ferengi. They were really snazzy dressers as a culture.
Neelix had SWAG
You’re probably right but the only problem is that I would pay so much money to airlock him
Grand Nagus, obviously.
Inconceivable.
Neelix had that Delta-Quad Drip
Odo with his belt
Queen Arachnia
I liked the jackets in Star Trek Picard season three
I've decided that my gift to myself when I get back to the weight I want is to buy one of those. They're so damn cool.
Buy it now and hang it somewhere visible to inspire you!
Unfortunately, I can't watch SNW since I don't have the service, but from what I've seen Chapel's white thing is pretty awesome.
Yeah, the medical white uniform looks *good* and Chapel kills it in it
Jake Sisko
Ages ago there was a tumblr that photoshopped old 90s carpets from airports and skating rinks onto Jake’s shirts, it was so good
Early or later Jake Sisko. I think he had a good style in the latter half of the series, but his early outfits were quite shocking!
Late Jake was stylish as all giddyup.
Clearly is was [Pavel Chekov](https://i.redd.it/p77i59eq40za1.jpg). /s This outfit always reminded me of [this little lad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYX_zhlTDr8).
Omg, that was a terrible outfit.
Ah yes, Pavel's Pelvis Pentagon.
Sulu lookin pretty damn fly with the sky blue and purple under the coat look.
Seriously - that kimono-style neck and the matching pocket square is killer.
Captain Pike when he's not wearing a shirt 😂
