Changed My Jumper: Difference between revisions

'''Amy:''' I dressed for '''RIO!''' }}

** Another example is from the end of ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S13 E6 The Seeds of Doom|The Seeds of Doom]]'', where due to a TARDIS error, Sarah Jane Smith ends up walking out into Antarctica -- in a swimsuit.

** In "[[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/S2 E2 Tooth and Claw|Tooth and Claw]]", Rose Tyler dresses in a T-shirt and denim minidress for a visit to 1979, and ends up in 1879 instead. The locals assume her to be mentally ill and take to referring to her as "the wee naked child".

** Possibly the most extreme example of someone noticing the incongruous clothes is in the [[Spin-Off]] novel ''The Many Hands'', where a soldier in 18th century Edinburgh comments on Martha's "pantaloons", and she sarcastically asks if it's against the law. It is.

** Averted in "Assignment Earth": When Kirk and Spock beam down to the 1960s United States, they wear appropriate clothing.

** "All Our Yesterdays": Kirk, Spock and McCoy accidentally end up in the past of an alien planet while wearing their Star Fleet uniforms.

*** Except maybe Spock's head-to-toe white robe and headband. Of course, they are in [[San Francisco]].

**** This is justified, actually. Before filming Paramount had non-Trek actors walk around San Francisco in costumes. Nobody noticed.

***** Well, with the rank insignia and more obvious military trappings removed, the late 23rd century Starfleet uniforms really aren't all that abnormal-looking...and remember, only ''Kirk and Uhura'' were even '''in''' uniform. Everyone else was wearing the same civilian clothing they wore when they stole the ''Enterprise'' in the previous film, and their civvies are pretty much identical to late 20th century attire.

** Parodied in "Almost...But Not Quite" by Dayton Ward (''Star Trek: Strange New Worlds II'') where two Temporal Investigations agents (based on a report of Kirk's visit to 20th Century San Francisco) disguise themselves as punk rockers...when visiting Griffith Observatory. Needless to say, they stick out a bit.

** Also, on one episode of ''[[Deep Space Nine]]'', several characters found themselves in the Original Series, and changed their jumpers to fit the Star Fleet uniform of the period.

** It formed something of a running gag in ''The Next Generation''. Whether on the Holodeck or traveling into the past, people would assume that the characters' uniforms were pajamas (Or in one case, a bellhop's uniform). Can't really blame them.

** Averted in "Accession" where a time-displaced Bajoran emerges from the wormhole and his 22nd Century clothing looks exactly the same as that of the 24th Century.

* ''[[The Time Tunnel]]'': modern day clothing, various time periods

** One of the leads actively averted it in the first episode, but never got that chance afterwards.

* Played with in ''[[Lost in Austen]]'', where Mr Darcy and Miss Price are able to wander around modern London in outfits from the early 19th century without anyone commenting. Whether this is because nobody thinks it's that weird in a city that diverse, or the British are just too polite and reserved to comment, is uncertain. On the other hand, when Miss Price first arrives in ''Pride and Prejudice'' land she has to excuse her leather jacket and jeans as otter-hunting clothes. The degree of cleavage she's showing causes Mr Bingley some discomfort, as well.

** From the cleavage-revealing clothes often used in historical dramas, that shouldn't have been a problem. Or is that just a [[Fan Service]] version of history?

* In ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' "1969" the team are sent back to the titular year and swap their uniforms for stereotypical hippie garb. This is, however, justified - they're on the run and want disguises that'll make people dismiss them.

* On ''[[Voyagers]]'', the costume of the travelers almost always got attention -- particularly Phineas' chest-baring pirate shirt. In most episodes they'd quickly find local garb. In more than one, a local lady would mourn the passing of the shirt.
