My guideline is the image of the TEC uniform here - very traditional, old-fashioned cut, but with influences of advanced tech in the paneling of the trousers and boots. One thing that the history of sci-fi has taught us is that trying to predict fashion trends is generally disastrous and pointless - much better to use slightly modified versions of contemporary style, at least that way it looks real.
Oh yeah, I agree with that too. You can say that the material can stop light pulser fire, and the fit can be more form-fitting (like with BuNine's design), but I want the Honorverse uniforms to look like contemporary naval uniforms, epecially with the movie. I hope the designers DON'T go with some goofy future techy look for the uniforms, but I fear that they will. Or worse, try to mimic Star Trek and go with mulitple colors--ugh, no! I say it would be best for the movie to be more grounded in the military world than the SF world.
