So I've been plotting a thread like this for a while; and I figure what better time than on the heels of my having taken on the mantle of Mentor. So here we go! The idea here is to display different costuming options in STO starting with those that are only unlock-able via Fleets, Reputation, Events, or Lobi. Why you may ask? Because they don;t have very good previews in game; that's why. I myself have spent inumerable hours scouring the net ofr screenies of Lobi outfits before I took the big plunge OT buy them. These outfits are a big investment whether of Time or In-game currency. Additionally I intend to after displaying these pieces talking about how they can be used in fun and interesting ways, and how NOT to use them due to clipping or just poor taste.
So to kick off the Thread I decided to start with one of my personal favorite pieces of Costume in STO. Winter Jackets. They are some of the single best "Off-Duty" (and can be used in either Uniform or off Duty) options. As well as being a favorite of Mercenaries, Traders, Pirates, Privateers, & Independents of all kinds. Winter jackets come in an array of colors(black, brown, white, red, & green) and three different styles; long, short, & cropped(female only). Additionally they include a matching belt.
I've only shown front/backs for one color as all of them use the exact same model with different palettes.
Long Black
Short Black
Cropped Black
Brown
White

- As a general rule I find the best way to go with these jackets is to find a color that compliments your characters skin tone nicely and stick to it. Green and Red while being great options are far less commonly used.
- Be careful when using Long Jackets as any form of bulky pants, or skirt will clip through it. As well as many belts being layered beneath the jacket.
- The Winter belts are some of the single best belts in the game as they are designed to lay over the rather bulky long coats. This means they layer well with most of not all outfits with minimal clipping.
- White Jacket is not quite a true white color. More of an eggshell. Color matching it will be difficult but is not impossible.
- If your character is chubby I would refrain from wearing the cropped jacket. It can clip oddly in the stomach or bulges out awkwardly.
- The Long Black Winter Jacket makes a great KDF Winter gear outfit. Slap some shoulder pads, a sash, and a bulky Kit belt on it and you've got a combat worthy looking cold weather outfit. Qapla!
