One of the things that has always bothered me about the various Star Trek series’ is that when characters run a program in the holodeck that requires a certain costume they physically put on those costumes in their rooms and then walk with them on to the holodeck.

90% of the reason why I didn’t attend my own commencement ceremony is how absolutely cheap the gowns always look. They look like they cost 15 cents to make out of downcycled vinyl umbrellas. I just saw a group photo of graduates and literally thought “Why are all those dudes wearing trash bags?”
And it’s not even like you can go out and buy your own nice gown, because then you’d stick out like a sore thumb for the entire ceremony and everyone would think you were a jerk (which you would be if you did that).
