I feel like the first outfit in which we see Garak is much different than his subsequent style. What if that’s the equivalent of nightclub wear because he’s hoping to pick up Julian?
In support of this theory, I noticed that in the original appearance of the watermelon outfit, Garak’s neck ridges are completed uncovered. In the second appearance of the outfit, there’s an additional brown bit around the neckline that covers them up.
I kind of feel like he started out with the equivalent of a plunging neckline and then went, “Shit, maybe I came across desperate. Time to tone it down a little…”
