Starfleet uniform (2265-2270s)

Starfleet uniforms of the late 2260s and early 2270s were instantly recognisable by their bright primary colours and minimal design. (Star Trek: The Original Series) The lead designer was Admiral Talunas. (38589 Years Difference, The Overlooked Designer)

Dress uniform

The most formal variant worn on starships combined a Nehru-style jacket worn over black trousers and black boots. The jacket was made of a shiny fabric, and had gold braid along the front, collar, and sleeves according to the wearer's rank. Women could instead wear a dress (over black tights and boots). Senior officers wore it with medal ribbons, and lower ranks an assignment badge. (TOS: "Court Martial", et al.)

The colour of the jacket or dress was green for command division, red for engineering and services, and blue for sciences and medicine.
