Space Clothes: Difference between revisions

* Guaranteeing that his ''[[Adept]]'' series will '''never''' be ruined by Hollywood, [[Piers Anthony]] averted this trope by having almost everyone on Planet Proton walk around naked.

* [[Stripperiffic|Everyone's nekkid]] in the ''[[John Carter of Mars]]'' series by Edgar Rice Burroughs... [[Pragmatic Adaptation|Understandably]], this aspect never came up in the [[John Carter (film)|film adaptation]].

* ''[[Known Space]]'' has its own fashions: from the very popular nudists (since everything is climatized in the future - obviously they also found a way of getting around the hygiene problems) to full-body pigment changes in weird-ass colours, and the Belter fashion of individualized spacesuits - and [[LARP|LARPers]].

* [[Robert Heinlein]] describes some pretty amazing future fashion in his books. Aside from removing all social taboos about nudity, his female clothes got skimpier and skimpier. In ''[[I Will Fear No Evil]]'', he describes an entire fashion trend made of nothing but see through skirts and body paint. Men's fashions frequently included kilts, and occasionally mentioned jewelry and even cosmetics (which is not without historical precedent, of course).

* During the "Time Capsule" Showcases on ''[[The Price Is Right]]'', the models would wear this type of costume as they revealed prizes to the theme songs of ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture|Star Trek the Motion Picture]]'' and the disco version of ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]''.

* ''[[Blake's Seven|Blakes Seven]]''. Just watch Jenna and Cally go down to rescue the boys in 'Star One' clad in floor length skirts and six inch heels. And then there was Avon's fondness for leather and studs...

** Well, he ''was'' voted "Worst Dressed Sentient Being in the Universe" seven times running...

*** It's good to know they paid such attention to detail.

* ''[[Futurama]]''! Occasionally unusual fashions are seen or mentioned--extras often wear censor bars, and military uniforms are like [[Star Trek]] without pants (and we do mean [[Star Trek: The Original Series|TOS]] miniskirts [[Fan Disservice|even on the guys]])--but for the most part, everyone wears 20th/21st Century clothes... with peaked shoulder rings. Grimy denim jackets, janitor's cover-alls, even the wall-eyed old lady's old-lady-shirt.

** One episode saw Fry and co. at a retro dance place:

'''Fry''': Why is everyone wearing [[Space Clothes|those rings]]?<br />

'''Amy''': Guh! Because nobody wears 'em anymore. Rings are stupid.<br />
