The flaring on the skirt really flatters his waist, but it also slims the legs, which is the only thing that I think is not quite right about this outfit yet.

The slimming of the legs is compounded by the loose boots, which makes me think it's a conscious design decision to clash late c20 masc and fem codings.

We know Starfleet is generally obsessed with the late c20 so I guess that's plausible in universe.

For my personal taste, I think they had the right idea with the close-fitting shorts, but maybe extend them longer or have more contrast. I'd also prefer him in something more like a martial arts slipper.

Counterpoint: backward baseball cap with Oakleys on his forehead and the Oakley tan and browmark, RBF, selfie in the cab of a pickup.

Honestly I like thicker legs on guys than the average (like, I watch sumo wrestling). My personal fashion advice to him would be on how to butch up his lower legs, which I think is exactly what he was not trying to do.

I remember this episode, this scene even, for how it failed step 3 of the Bechdel test so badly. Never seen a more classic example.

The movie has to have at least two women in it,
who talk to each other,
about something other than a man.

The fact that they're talking about a man, and also the circumstances of the scene. Like, what even are these exercises? Were they invented by some sleazy director? Or did a sleazy director just pick them out from a list? And then pick out the outfits?

This is the work of infamous Executive Producer Rick Berman. His "touch" is dotted throughout the TNG-ENT era. Not exactly a proud moment, but fits for the sake of this meme format.

I laughed through that entire scene, missing most of the dialog, then I had to explain why it was so funny to my wife.

A big reason why I watched Star Trek re-runs after school was because of the eye candy.

A big reason why I'm progressive today is because I watched Star Trek re-runs after school.
