Contributing something that brought me joy, albeit not clothing-related (sorry! I know you had a theme going!)… if you’re willing to pony up for a fruit-logo streaming service for a couple of months, I very very highly recommend the TV adaptation of the first Murderbot novella.
It IS an adaptation, so they’ve added some things to make it a better TV show and streamlined some things that would be too dry if left intact from the printed original. But everyone involved understood the assignment and it shows. Two half-hour episodes out of ten and I’m 100% here for it. Good SF, good humor, good characters, good setup.
Wait, I can talk about clothing: They occasionally show brief glimpses of the space opera (“The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon”) which is the TV show that Murderbot loves to watch, and it’s absolutely gloriously over-the-top campy, costumes included. Imagine Star Trek with the camp levels dialed to 1000. John Cho is the Captain Kirk expy! What’s not to love.

Windy loves the Murderbot Diaries! I’ll make sure she knows she should be watching the series. I know she’s already set up with Apple+.
