A '''Starfleet dress uniform''' is a variant of the standard [[Starfleet]] [[Starfleet uniform|uniforms]] worn for special occasions, such as [[wedding]]s, [[court martial|courts martial]], [[funeral]]s, and the greeting of [[ambassador|ambassadorial]] delegations and heads of state.
  
   
  +
'''Starfleet uniforms''' were [[uniform]]s worn by individuals serving in the [[Federation]] [[Starfleet]], originally a [[United Earth]] outfit. These uniforms facilitated the wearers' needs as both scientists and researchers, as well as Starfleet's military role. Wearers are expected to abide by Starfleet dress code though special exceptions are sometimes made for certain aspects of an individual's cultural heritage, such as [[Worf]]'s Klingon baldric and [[Nog]]'s Ferengi headdress as well as [[Ro Laren]]'s (and briefly [[Kira Nerys]]') earring.

Dress uniforms from [[2140]] to [[2161]] were embellishments on the standard duty uniform. The uniform was given a more rigid appearance, and the normal undershirt was replaced with a more formal shirt with rank braids on both cuffs. Captain [[Jonathan Archer]] wore this uniform in 2161 when he gave a speech at a ceremony that would give birth to the Federation. ({{ENT|These Are the Voyages...}})

== Divisions ==
  +
Starfleet uniforms were generally broken down by color amongst the three divisions, and occasionally by department, while displaying [[rank insignia]] conspicuously. While the colors varied over time, uniforms were designed for comfort even in the most extreme environments. ({{DS9|Trials and Tribble-ations|Let He Who Is Without Sin...}})

The [[2250s]] dress uniform was similar to the standard duty tunic, but featured a V-neck collar edged in gold braiding. This was worn over the standard uniform shirt. ({{TOS|The Cage}})

=== Command ===
−
The dress uniforms from the [[2260]]'s were simple jackets of the officer's department color, with a tapered high collar and a gold braid delineating [[rank]]. Display of awards and decorations was allowed on these uniforms. [[James T. Kirk|Kirk]] was known to wear his [[Prentares Ribbon of Commendation]] as well as his [[Starfleet Silver Palm|Starfleet Silver Palm with Cluster]] on his uniform. Dr. [[Leonard McCoy]] and [[Commander]] [[Spock]] also displayed their clusters on their uniforms. Captain Kirk, Commander Spock and Dr. McCoy wore their dress uniforms when welcoming [[Vulcan]] ambassador [[Sarek]] and other delegates aboard the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701}} in [[2268]]. Dr. McCoy would complain about the fit of these uniforms, stating that he felt like his neck was "in a sling". ({{TOS|Journey to Babel}}) Later, in [[2269]], the crew of the ''Enterprise'' wore their dress uniforms to greet an individual who claimed to be [[Abraham Lincoln]], a former [[President of the United States]]. ({{TOS|The Savage Curtain}})
  
  +
The [[command division]] was the head of Starfleet with most of the [[ranking officer]]s in [[Starfleet Command]] wearing these colors. The command division, generally, was responsible for the [[Administrator|administration]] of [[starship]]s, [[starbase]]s and [[space station]]s.
−
:''The one exception to the uniform matching department color was in the appearance of a Command officer's duty uniforms, which appeared yellow or gold, despite the fact they were actually green, which the Command dress uniform accurately depicts. This gives the appearance that the dress uniforms were a different color (green) than the duty uniforms (yellow/gold).''

The dress uniforms during the [[2270s]] were similar to the uniform worn by [[Admiral]] [[James T. Kirk|Kirk]], consisting of the new division colors and a more formal cut. The dress uniform was also one of the only uniforms of that era to use a pin badge for an insignia, rather than a patch. ''(This is based on notes from the designer.)''

When the uniforms eventually changed in [[2351]], the dress uniforms were changed in color but only slightly in structure. The wraparound tunic style was kept, but the use of department color was reinstated as well as gold edging around the collar (which was now tapered) and the edges of the front placket of the tunic. The bottom of the tunic also was extended to the knees. This was worn with black leggings. The flag officers also had one minor difference in that their gold braid was much larger around the uniforms' edges. Rank placement (originally not present) was instituted on the front right corner of the placket, after 2365. In [[2364]], [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard]] Commander [[William T. Riker]] and [[Lieutenant]] [[Natasha Yar|Tasha Yar]] of the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}} wore this style of dress uniform to greet [[Antican]]-[[Selay]] delegates. ({{TNG|Lonely Among Us}}) Later, in [[2365]], Captain Picard and Commander Riker wore their dress uniforms to greet the [[Antedean]] and [[Betazoid]] ambassadors. ({{TNG|Manhunt}})

After the adjustment to the uniforms in 2366, the dress uniforms became less "dress" and more "uniform". The tunics were shortened to about mid-thigh and the gold edging was limited to the black yoke and collar. These tunics were worn with trousers similar to those of the standard duty uniform. In early [[2369]] the [[Deep Space 9]] senior officers wore their dress uniforms when making [[First Contact]] with the [[Wadi]]. [[Julian Bashir]] was unable to find his. ({{DS9|Move Along Home}}) The crew of Deep Space 9 also wore their dress uniforms on other special occasions such as [[Benjamin Sisko]]'s promotion to [[captain]] in [[2371]] and a welcoming party for members of the [[Trill Science Ministry]] in [[2372]]. ({{DS9|The Adversary|Rejoined}}) Dress uniforms were also worn at [[Worf]]'s trial for allegedly destroying a [[Klingon civilian transport ship]]. ({{DS9|Rules of Engagement}}) The crew of the {{USS|Voyager}}, being lost in the [[Delta Quadrant]], continuted using this style of dress uniform well after its re-design in the 2370s. ({{VOY|One Small Step}})
  
  +
Some officers wore alternate uniforms. [[Deanna Troi]] often wore [[Casual duty attire|casual clothing]] while on duty, and [[T'Pol]] retained her original Vulcan clothing, with a few concessions to her Starfleet rank and ship assignment. Other officers, such as [[Worf]], [[Montgomery Scott]] and [[Ro Laren]], were allowed to wear accessories relating to their culture with their uniforms, but this was at the discretion of the captain. Uniforms were also altered to accommodate non-humanoid officers, such as the three-armed, three-legged uniform of the [[Edosian]] [[Arex]]. ({{ENT|Borderland}}; {{TAS|Mudd's Passion}}; {{film|2}}; {{TNG|Ensign Ro}})
   
  +
Uniforms were also adapted to environmental or atmospheric conditions. When exploring the planet [[Tyree (planet)|Tyree]], [[Benjamin Sisko]] and colleagues wore long flowing gown uniforms to deal with the sand. They featured a colored stripe to represent department. ({{DS9|Shadows and Symbols}})
−
The previous style was still in use until the 2370s, when for a short time the black yoke was ribbed and a gold stripe was added to the sleeve, as well as the belt normally worn by Starfleet admirals on their standard duty uniform. Captain Sisko, Dr. Bashir, [[Ensign]] [[Nog]], and [[Chief]] [[Miles O'Brien|O'Brien]] wore their dress uniforms at the wedding of [[Worf]] and [[Jadzia Dax]] in [[2374]]. ({{DS9|You Are Cordially Invited}})

== Dress uniforms ==

The dress uniform instituted around 2375 is a very formal two-piece affair, it consists of a tight-fitting short jacket worn with high waisted trousers. The outer part of the jacket is white with gold edging along the front opening and yoke. The yoke is quilted in a similar fashion to the duty uniforms of the era & the cuffs incorporate a division colored stripe. The jacket is cut high in the back coming to the very top of the waist but angles down to sharp points at the front. The center front section of the jacket, which is white to denote [[flag officer]]s and [[captain]]s or grey for other commissioned ranks, is quilted with division color piping around the mandarin collar. As with the [[Starfleet uniform (2373)|standard duty uniform]], [[rank insignia]] is displayed on the right side of the collar. Close-fitting black trousers are worn. Standard officers wear these with a division stripe trimmed in gold on the side seams while higher-ranking officers have a solid gold stripe instead. To maintain a neat appearance elasticated stirrups are attached to the hem of the trousers and worn under the sole of black dress boots. Enlisted [[Starfleet]] personnel have a similar uniform to the white uniform, but it is black and gray in color to separate the two personnel. Captain Picard and his senior staff wore this style of uniform when welcoming the [[Evora]] into the [[Federation]]. ({{film|9}}) Dr. Bashir and [[Admiral]] [[William Ross]] wore this style when attending the [[Romulan Conference]] on [[Romulus]]. ({{DS9|Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges}}) Captain Picard and his senior staff would again don this style during Commander Riker's wedding. ({{film|10}})

Starfleet uniforms in 2371

Starfleet uniforms in 2371

For the mirror universe counterpart, please see Starfleet uniform (mirror).

Starfleet uniforms were uniforms worn by individuals serving in the Federation Starfleet, originally a United Earth outfit. These uniforms facilitated the wearers' needs as both scientists and researchers, as well as Starfleet's military role. Wearers are expected to abide by Starfleet dress code though special exceptions are sometimes made for certain aspects of an individual's cultural heritage, such as Worf's Klingon baldric and Nog's Ferengi headdress as well as Ro Laren's (and briefly Kira Nerys') earring.

Divisions

Starfleet uniforms were generally broken down by color amongst the three divisions, and occasionally by department, while displaying rank insignia conspicuously. While the colors varied over time, uniforms were designed for comfort even in the most extreme environments. (DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations", "Let He Who Is Without Sin...")

Command

The command division was the head of Starfleet with most of the ranking officers in Starfleet Command wearing these colors. The command division, generally, was responsible for the administration of starships, starbases and space stations.

Some officers wore alternate uniforms. Deanna Troi often wore casual clothing while on duty, and T'Pol retained her original Vulcan clothing, with a few concessions to her Starfleet rank and ship assignment. Other officers, such as Worf, Montgomery Scott and Ro Laren, were allowed to wear accessories relating to their culture with their uniforms, but this was at the discretion of the captain. Uniforms were also altered to accommodate non-humanoid officers, such as the three-armed, three-legged uniform of the Edosian Arex. (ENT: "Borderland"; TAS: "Mudd's Passion"; Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; TNG: "Ensign Ro")

Uniforms were also adapted to environmental or atmospheric conditions. When exploring the planet Tyree, Benjamin Sisko and colleagues wore long flowing gown uniforms to deal with the sand. They featured a colored stripe to represent department. (DS9: "Shadows and Symbols")

Dress uniforms

Dress uniforms were a variant of the standard Starfleet uniforms worn for special occasions, such as weddings, courts martial, funerals, and the greeting of ambassadorial delegations and heads of state.

A pair of dress uniform boots was sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay and was worn by Patrick Stewart. The pair shows that the legs are completely covered and the boots are kept on by a harness. [1]

Background information

Design

The Starfleet uniforms worn during Star Trek: The Original Series were designed by William Ware Theiss, who returned to design the Star Trek: The Next Generation uniforms (which were further adapted into future versions on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and the TNG-era films by Robert Blackman). Robert Fletcher designed the uniforms seen throughout the movies, with later new designs provided by Nilo Rodis.

Robert Blackman also designed uniforms worn on Star Trek: Enterprise, a design representing a precursor to those seen in TOS.

As shown in the It's A Wrap! sale and auction, a number of Starfleet uniforms have had muscular padding to increase muscular appearance. Such cases include two costumes for Tom Paris, one racquetball costume for Julian Bashir and a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine costume for Worf (to create a more Klingon appearance). According to Wil Wheaton, all the main cast members wore muscle padding during the first two seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation, mainly because of the tight-fitting nature of the spandex uniforms used in these two seasons.[2]

Several prototype uniform undershirts to those seen from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan on were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [3]

Ambiguous uniform

Human Elysian Councilor

Female on the Elysian Council

A Human female seen as a member of the Elysian Council in "The Time Trap" wore a uniform of ambiguous origin. It was described in the Star Trek Concordance as "a white suit with blue collar and an insignia on the left breast," and was suggested to "possibly an early Star Fleet [sic] uniform". While it is known that the Bonaventure, and possibly other Earth/Federation ships, were lost in the years prior to 2269, it is unclear if this is indeed a Starfleet uniform, and if so, from which era it may have originated.
