* The aliens in ''Manga/DearS'' dress in what could be considered space clothes. All of them are ornate, outlandish, brightly colored and clearly [[ChainOfCommand collared]]. They also have much more hair than your average human character.

* Ensemble sketch show ''Radio/TheBurkissWay'' mercilessly parodied space clothes in their send-up of ''Series/BlakesSeven''. ''Blake's [[BBCQuarry Set In Old Gravel Pits]]'' saw the intrepid rebels terrified by a demand for them to surrender immediately, or else we will be forced to don the tight leather trousers and the motorcycle boots which have been spray-painted silver! And then we'll ponce about in the company of women who are not wearing any bras!

* Civilian clothes in [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Next Gen]]-era ''Franchise/StarTrek'' are mostly [[TropesAreNotBad Space Clothes done right]] -- easy on contemporary eyes, but clearly ''not'' contemporary. In particular, [[WaistcoatOfStyle waistcoats/vests are back in a big way]], men's jackets tend to be made of patterned fabric and often lack lapels, and women wear [[ProperTightsWithASkirt opaque tights that match their skirts]]. However, it's worth pointing out that Franchise/StarTrek really only developed a decent non-uniform clothing style after several years of the TNG/[=DS9=] era had passed. Up until then civilian clothing tended to consist of all-too-obvious jumpsuits (Jake Sisko in the first season of ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'' is a particularly bad example, as he's supposed to be a 14-year-old but goes around wearing what look like giant baby-gros).

** "The Mutants Are Revolting" looks at the fashion of the 30th century, just prior to the show's 31st setting. It looks like 20th century fashion (top hats and tails and so on), but, naturally, with more hovering rings on everything.

*** On the other hand, it's mostly averted with [[SharpDressedMan Garak]], who wears decent civilian attire. It makes sense, as he ''is'' a damn good tailor.

** Also largely {{Averted}} on ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'', a prequel series meant to bridge the gap between The Original Series and the contemporary era. While on duty, Starfleet personnel wear flight suits that clearly look like flight suits, and simple T-shirts and polo shirts when off duty. Civilian officials, meanwhile, wear neckties and suits that aren't too different from modern-day business wear.

** Further averted in ''Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier''. While on shore leave, the officers wear civvies that wouldn't stand out in today's society. Later, when they launch a raid on Paradise City to deal with a HostageSituation, they wear dark brown uniforms that are suitable for desert and/or nighttime operations.

However, they possess VoluntaryShapeshifting technology that lets them disguise themselves as humans, but even as humans, they typically wear that same outfit, with the addition of gloves and boots.

The information about the male characters' wigs was natter as written. Moved it to a separate sub-bullet as it's interesting but only tangentially relevant for the female dress code.


** The Moonbase BridgeBunnies also wear their trademark purple wigs, elaborate make-up, and cosmetic belt-kits (as seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuXIBOqBitg this famous scene]]) which seems like a lot of trouble to go to for a ten minute coffee break... A non-canon explanation for the purple wigs is that they prevent static electricity on Moonbase, but that doesn't explain [[DoubleStandard why the men don't wear them, or why the women's jumpsuits are skintight while the men's aren't]]. [[note: Actually, nearly every male character in the series ''does'' wear a wig, most notably Commander Straker. Although never explained on-screen, reportedly male wigs were being predicted as a fashion in the 1980s; it's possible they served the same static-preventing function on Moonbase, too.[[/note]]
