Rating Starfleet uniforms (from shows I've watched)

1. Early TOS uniforms

6/10. The fabric looks soft, and I'm kinda into the whole turtleneck thing, plus the women's uniform is practical. The colour palette could be a little more interesting, though, and there's far too many crew members in the same shade of blue.

2. TOS uniforms

7/10. Aside from Kirk's infamous wrap around shirt, these are fairly toned back uniforms in bright colours. Aesthetically, the women's uniforms look good but are ultimately impractical. A solid base for starfleet uniforms. I like the black undershirts.

3. Wrath of Khan uniforms

5/10. Ugly!! The colour is nice and makes the crew look unified, but the cut is unflattering, and all the shiny bits look more imperialist than practical. I get what they were going for, but I find it boring. Also, Spock looks so good in blue that the red is practically criminal.

4. TNG uniforms (1-3)

4/10. Although I like certain design elements of these, as well as the colour choices, I find them too onsie-like. I prefer Troi's uniform here, though. Her second uniform is a bit too boob heavy.

5. TNG (3-7)

8/10. Solid starfleet uniforms. The colours are nice, the designs are sleek and fashionable as well as gender neutral. The collars are particularly nice. Overall, nice. Apart from poor Troi, her uniform is so ugly here god bless her.

6. Skant

4/10. Honorary mention for the skant. It's way too short, but the shape is nice. TNG women don't even get the dignity of tights here. Point up from 3 because Picard and Riker wore them once.

7. AOS

3/10. BARF. The fabric looks cheap and scratchy, and the necklines are weird. The colours are eye-bleachingly ugly, and I really don't get what they were going for with the kids' Halloween costume vibe.

8. SNW

1/10. If I were Ethen Peck, I would think the costume designers hated me. These are unbelievably ugly.

9. First Star Trek film

0/10. Sad beige uniforms for sad beige officers.
