alternate universe starfleet pseudo-uniform system in which the color scheme and rank pips, and the skin areas covered, are the only actual rules besides practicality. because that's more fitting to the federation ideals of diversity anyway
in some ways, the federation is (on paper, at least) about diversity maximalism, not interfering with cultures. so they should have a dress code that is as permissive as practical. what are the actual goals of having a uniform, and what can one wear within those goals?
@glowingskull but does the end of the tail need to be covered? I feel like the tail sleeve ending just before the end is wrong, but covering the end also feels wrong
@else Shirt sleeves end just before the end of the limb. Pant sleeves end just before the end of the limb. Why not so for tails? If the tip of the tail needs to be covered for some reason, put a glove or mitten or sock or shoe equivalent upon it.
