[He turns around and moves around him to inspect it. It's true that the color really is not flattering and he would have picked something not so...this. However, the cut of the uniform suits him well and he nods approvingly as he comes back around in front of him.]
Yellow is Command and Navigation. Red is for Engineering and Security. Blue
is Science and Medical. It's an easy way to identify in what department
someone works, both in daily life on the ship and in an emergency. There's
some wiggle in the colors for certain jobs, but overall that's the
breakdown.
[ He motions for the other to turn around again and went back to his
closet to get out his dress
uniform. Decidedly less colorful than his everyday uniform, it being
all of a rather sombre and neutral gray. Definitely not his favorite. He
even hated the little hat, but it is what it is. ]
[The color is simple but he actually likes it better.]
This one is decidedly better if you ask me. I understand that color signifies department but really this cut is already far more flattering and you have yet to put it on.
[ He chuckled, making a flapping motion with the pants to signal he
planned to dress. If Biffy wanted to turn around, now was the time, though
Kirk didn't mind if he watched either. He reached down to tug off his
shirt, exposing the tattoo that ran down his side - his ship's number and
the Star Fleet Emblem. ]
More flattering, maybe, but far less useful in day to day life. Not nearly
enough pockets.
[ He didn't like the uniform for that reason, as well as the fact that
the only reason he usually wore the uniform was for rather more sombre
occasions of late. Rarely, it felt like, did good things happen with that
uniform on. ]
Well, let's be honest, I really don't want to try climbing a cliff-face,
trekking through a jungle, or running from something with more teeth than a
shark in this particular fabric. It's just not practical.
[ He shrugged the jacket on and fastened it, shifting the hat in his
hand and then onto his head, setting it and nodding to himself. ]
I honestly would prefer to do none of those things. However, I understand your point on the matter.
[All of that sounds like it would ruin your appearance. No thank you. When he hears the question, he turns to look at him and gives him a look over, even moving around him to get all angles.]

Does the color have significance?

If there are not enough pockets then you should have more sewn in. It's really a very simple task.

All right, how do I look?

This is a far more flattering cut on you.

Utility is flattering on no one. Formal usually is. But thank you.
[ He smiled at him. ]
I have one more I can show you. The survival suit.
