TNG uniforms do have pockets, but they're small and hard to make out.
When Geordi is mind controlled by Romulans and tries to assassinate a Klingon, he slips a mini phaser out of a pocket.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Lower Decks uniforms, too. There's a scene where Rutherford learns about them.
I really really love the Enterprise costumes. They communicate the early stage of human space travel so well, by being so close to NASA's gear. In comparison to the 80ies/90ies Series they also look so down to earth and vintage.
Enterprise definitely had the most boring, but also the only practical uniform. It’s the one uniform that I’d consider actually wearing.
I imagine the actors liked it as well. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of any costume related complaints on that series…
I like the Enterprise uniform. It does exactly what's it's meant to do. It's incredibly evocative of the 'new frontier' vibe of modern day astronaut ware and really plays in to Enterprises whole 'submarine in space' aesthetic. I totally understand why it's not as liked, as it's maybe too close to modern for some, but as Enterprise is that bridge between now and then, it works for me.
I doubt all of Blalock's getups were comfortable.
It’s definitely one of Trek’s more… problematic habits in the older series: let’s put an attractive woman in something sexy rather than an actual uniform. Marina Sirtis, Jolene Blalock, Jeri Ryan; and every woman who’s ever been on TOS. God only knows how Terri Farrell managed to dodge a skimpy outfit as her duty uniform. I assume a really good agent.
Now don’t get me wrong. As a guy I like those looks. But I do recognise it can be a problematic thing in terms of how you should treat actors.
TOS actually has an excuse with '60s feminist culture. Miniskirts were seen as liberating and feminist after the longer dresses of the '50s. They were even suggested for the uniform by Grace Lee Whitney, who played Janice Rand. Though, considering Roddenberry, that they were skimpy is probably why he went along with it. He would routinely redesign costumes for guest actresses to be skimpier.
Farrell didn't entirely get away from it. Berman insisted she stuff her bra for the role (apparently she wasn't busty enough for his tastes).
You also forgot to list Nana Visitor's second uniform for Kira. She was the only Bajoran officer to get a uniform update when the Starfleet crew got their First Contact uniforms, and it inexplicably added high heels and a dip just above her cleavage.
Fair enough regarding TOS; it was kind of the time for miniskirts.
I didn’t know that re: Farrell. Still, she’s certainly attractive enough without needing enhancements in that area. Seems silly to think that anyone actually watching the show would care about it.
And you’re right, whenever I’m thinking of Kira, I’m always thinking of her more modest uniform. Which was still too form fitting for what I imagine the character would prefer.
"The problems with my leaving were with Rick Berman," Farrell explained. "In my opinion, he's just very misogynistic. He'd comment on your bra size not being voluptuous.... That stuff was so intense, especially the first couple of years."

I had to jump back and rewatch a s7 episode, becuase there were two-piece uniforms this late in the show. And I didn't realise that the (leading) women are still weraing one-piece. They really did them dirty, whilst Picard is reliving his rebel phase with that shirt & bomberjacket combo.
What did she have to do? I bet it's really complicated, like put together an Ikea dresser.
I'd just be like "Transporter room 2, help me out".
If The Doctor could deliver Naomi Wildman via transporter, surely it can drop the kids off at the pool as well.

No thanks, if they're the tiniest bit off you no longer have an intestine.
Colostomy bag but it‘s a miniaturized transporter
Betazoid stuff. You wouldn't understand.
