Jean-Luc Fashion Project | Undercover
The best part of “Time’s Arrow,” and to be honest the only part that really works for me, is the costuming. Picard rocks this many layered look and I love that he’s dressed lower class than the rest of them. ‘Rough and tumble street Picard’ is a fun side to him – and it’s a …
Jean-Luc Fashion Project | Spy
Black on black on black is traditional for covert ops: And as Beverly and Worf wear the same outfit as Jean-Luc, we can assume it is Starfleet issue spy wear. As seen on Section 31, Starfleet’s spy division: In the first cap the extra on the left is wearing what Jean-Luc wears in “Chain of …

And I like that its appearance in “Darmok”, “Liaisons”, and “Attached” …

My favorite part of Generations – besides Demora Sulu – is the parade of uniforms as the franchise shifts from TNG style to DS9/Voyager style. The choice was made to save costuming costs, but it adds to the debate over recycling vs laundering uniforms: if uniforms were made to be replicated and worn once everyone would …

Starfleet Uniform, Command I (Seasons 1-2, “All Good Things”)Starfleet Uniform, Command II (Seasons 3-7, Generations, First Contact) Seen side by side the ‘pajama’ aspect of the early seasons TNG jumpsuit is really clear. The crew are wearing onesies. With a zipper front and piping. In that very first promo shot above, with his hands on his hips, …
