In the 50 years since Star Trekfirst aired on full length sister sex videosNBC, there have only been five captains. But they have worn a dizzying array of uniforms, each, in their own way, hearkening back to the original swashbuckler-esque suits we first saw on September 8, 1968.
Actor, author and raconteur William Shatner, who played James T. Kirk for a quarter of a century, may have worn the most electric variety -- though, based on our research, it's Patrick Stewart who probably wore the widest array of styles as Captain Jean Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generationfrom 1987 to 1994 (the original series only ran three years) and in a series of movies up until 2002.
Star Trekcaptain fashion is a product of its time. The mod looks of the late 1960s clearly influenced the original series fashion, just as 1980s new wave style and shoulder pads showed up in the captain's wear of The Next Generation.
