Starfleet uniform (early 2400s)
Starfleet uniforms in 2401
By 2401, the standard Starfleet uniform was replaced by a new iteration. (PIC: "The Star Gazer")
Standard duty uniform
While similar to the previous version, this uniform top had a breast flap similar to those on the early 2380s uniform. Additionally, there was no outer turtleneck, rank insignia were again placed on the collar, and division-colored piping was present on the side of the trousers. (PIC: "The Star Gazer", "Farewell", "The Next Generation")
Aside from the main three division colors, officers working in special services, such as cooks, wore uniforms with gray-colored shoulders. (PIC: "The Last Generation")


Undershirt
The uniform undershirt was almost entirely black, with the exception of a thin, division-colored border between the shoulder and chest areas. (PIC: "Seventeen Seconds", "No Win Scenario")


Captain's variant

The captain's variant uniform appeared to have a simpler configuration than previous versions. These uniforms featured a zippered jacket that was mostly gray in color, with a division-colored shoulder area that had golden-brown piping beneath it. (PIC: "The Next Generation")
Maternity uniform

Flag officer uniform
The flag officer uniform was identical to the standard duty uniform except for the addition of gold piping across the chest and sleeves. Flag officers wore two copies of their rank insignia, one on either side of their collar. (PIC: "The Star Gazer")


Dress uniform
The dress uniform jacket was mostly black, with minimal division coloring on the shoulders and along the neck. Unlike the standard duty uniform, rank insignia were arranged vertically, rather than horizontally. (PIC: "Imposters")
The version worn by commodores had additional division coloring on the collar, while the version worn by admirals had golden piping along the inner shoulders. (PIC: "The Bounty", "Võx")




Cadet uniform

The version of the cadet uniform in use by 2401 was mostly gray with a red shoulder area, similar to the ones worn during the late 2360s. (PIC: "The Star Gazer")
Field jacket
This leather jacket could be worn by Starfleet officers on away missions. It was mostly black, with minimal division coloring on the shoulders, in darker shades than on standard duty uniforms. Rank insignia were displayed vertically. (PIC: "The Bounty", "Surrender")



Accessories
Gloves
Some officers wore black gloves with their standard duty uniforms. (PIC: "The Next Generation")
Lab coat
Certain officers in the medical division, such as the chief medical officer, wore lab coats over their sciences division uniforms. (PIC: "Disengage")
Rank insignia
The rank insignia and rank system used with this uniform were the same as those used for the previous version of Starfleet uniform.
| Ensign | Lieutenant junior grade | Lieutenant |
|---|---|---|
| Lieutenant commander | Commander | Captain |
|---|---|---|
| Commodore | Admiral | Fleet admiral |

Starfleet top ranking officers' combadge

As the Chancellor of Starfleet Academy, Admiral Picard wore a distinctive combadge on a day-to-day basis when at the academy, as well as when visiting active duty starships. Fleet Admiral Shelby also wore the same style of combadge when she led the celebrations on Frontier Day.
The badge displayed the Starfleet delta in a golden laurel wreath design on a red and white-striped horizontal backing. As such, the design of the Top Ranking Officers' badge heavily resembled that of the badge worn with the Starfleet uniform from the late 2270s to the 2350s.
