I’m sorry but this? THIS??? THIS is THE look. This is the aesthetic. The close fit around the shoulders and waist? The black streamlining? The angled collar exposing just e n o u g h of the trademark Cardassian neck? The pattern?? THE CRIMSON??? This outfit slayed more than Garak’s career did. This is the outfit that Doctor Julian Bashir remembers as he cries on Keiko and Miles’ couch on Earth after letting this hot number go back to Cardassia alone. This is probably the outfit that Garak wore to seduce jail Dukat’s dad just for the pure drama of it all, and every time Dukat sees it he screams just a bit, and rightly so. I mean, this is it. This is the look. The absolute.
This is my absolute favorite of his outfits! He looks so lovely in this.
Personally, the mustard and purple outfit was my favorite, but Garak was always serving looks.
