Just about every style from the Star Trek franchise can be worn in Star Trek Online Unsurprisingly, you'd actually be hard-pressed to find a player running around in the TMP costume, though there are a number of players who are clamoring for the "skant"

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann:
After acquiring the final ship in the last arc, the cast upgrades from contemporary clothing to hilarious Space Clothes, including the super Stripperific kind for resident Ms. Fanservice, Yoko. This is actually a homage to Super Robot anime of the past set in space, such as Getter Robo.
Simon's outfit is just a recoloured and Stripperiffic version of Captain Harlock's, another classic anime set in space. It also resembles what he wore pre-timeskip to a degree.

In the National Wrestling Alliance in 1987, a tag team called The New Breed◊, who were billed as being from the year 2002 where Dusty Rhodes is president of the United States, made their debut. While their clothes weren't too out of place (aside from being very loud), their hairstyles (which you sadly don't get a good look at in this picture) were beyond absurd, looking not unlike a do-it-yourself cutjob. Supposedly this was how people did their hair in the future.

Neo Zeon of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ falls into stripperific territory, with sleeveless jackets being popular for the (muscular) male soldiers while the (well endowed) female officers tend to go around in short skirts and tops that leave the upper chest and midriffs bare. One notices many a similarity to the Terran Empire uniforms from the Star Trek episode Mirror, Mirror.

Super Dimension Fortress Macross uses space clothes for all its military forces — check out the oh-so-'70s giant lapels on the pilot's uniforms, for instance. Especially its movie adaptation Do You Remember Love?, where the Valkyrie pilots get a suit that includes Awesome, but Impractical glowing shoulderpads and a chest-monitor-thingy when they're in full flying kit.
Later Macross shows go to the other end of the extreme spectrum with their Latex Space Suits.

The later movies have multi-layered uniforms with turtleneck sweater undershirts. Doesn't it get hot in those things? (One of the jokes of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was how well the crew blended in to the San Francisco crowds by merely removing their emblem pins.)

Space: 1999 was obviously an influence on Star Trek: The Motion Picture with its double knit uniforms in taupe. One standout design feature was the single colored sleeve that told the audience what department the character was in. Season Two added an orange parka that actually made them less Space Clothes-like. As appropriate for a 1970's production, the first-season uniforms were completely unisex, and deliberately designed to avoid sexualizing the women. In the second season, some of the women wore skirts as an alternative to trousers. Today, the design practically screams mid-1970's (and is, of course, not at all like what people actually wore in 1999) with the flared trousers, broad plastic belts, and braless look for the women.

Battlestar Galactica:
The original generally averts this, with a muted beige colour scheme and some pretty spiffing Wild West-style jackets, complete with cowboy-style ammo belts. The capes and thigh boots are much harder to take seriously, however.
The 2003 reboot, on the other hand, averts this to the point of having the Colonials wear stuff more or less off the shelf. The sole exceptions are the Colonial Fleet uniforms and priests' robes, and the strange fashion of wearing a tank top over a T-shirt, which are nevertheless not exactly far-fetched.

Red Dwarf
Rimmer and Lister initially wore their Red Dwarf uniform of jacket, shirt with tie, trousers and boots (Rimmer kept his immaculate whilst Lister wore a Custom Uniform variation, minus tie.) By the third season, though, Lister's clothing stayed pretty much the same, but Rimmer wore a bright green (later red, then blue) lycra suit.
The silver spacesuit version is homaged with Ace Rimmer's silver flying jacket. In one episode, Kryten asks if he has a spare one so he can roast a chicken in it.

Kryptonians in flashbacks to Krypton in the Superman comics usually wear some variation of space clothes, especially in Golden Age and Silver Age depictions of Krypton. Notably, the outfits often bear some resemblance to Superman's uniform — skintight, often with a chest emblem, "underpants" on the outside, boots, and/or a short cape.

Last Exile has the Guild, who fit a great deal of "alien" stereotypes (live in space/the upper atmosphere, pointy ears, Anime Hair in a setting where everyone else's hair is relatively normal, etc.). Naturally, they have odd clothes to match; Delphine's bodysuit has to be seen to be believed.

Freelancer plays with this. There are people who wear clothes that would be normal today, such as suits and Trent's leather jacket. There are also those that wear clothes styles typically associated with Space Clothes. And then, there are Rheinland and Kusari clothes who mix old/traditional clothing with future fashions.

Borderlands has Mordecai in what appears to be a cross between a Mexican luchador and male dominatrix outfit - with ski goggles.
his outfit◊ is more of a gimp mask◊ with a sleeveless cropped motorcycle top. Still odd, but mainly the mask—if you're a sniper, why wear something that restricts your vision so?
From the looks of the lenses, they actually provide decent peripheral vision, and the red tint would be helpful to his night vision, as long as the scope used some other color for the crosshairs and readouts. As for restricting his vision, some snipers use an eyepatch to block off their sight in one eye completely, to reduce the stereo vision affecting their aim, so darkly tinted goggles actually wouldn't be so bad there. Also, Pandora has a lot of dirt, dust, and sand, so he'd want to keep that stuff out of his eyes.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine continues in a similar direction forged by The Next Generation, most evident by Jake's predilection for jumpsuits. While some civilian clothing still looks rustic and old-fashioned, other outfits look more modern, often with loud fabrics and colors, such as that time Sisko wears a maroon blazer to a guerilla war. Quark also wears a dizzying variety of outrageously loud suits as a character trait.

Halo avoids this for the most part, though the working uniforms worn by UNSC Navy crewmen seem to have been inspired a bit by Star Trek, particularly the color-coded versions worn by specialized personnel. Still, even those are fairly sensible in appearance.
This may also be related to the real life practice of crewmen on aircraft carriers wearing different colors on the flight deck to indicate their job from a distance.

Mass Effect 2 and its future-blouse.
Though humans and Asari have equal shares in the Stripperific department, there.
Oddly enough, the first game plays the trope straight, with floor-length dresses for women and formal suits for men on the Citadel, while the second and third games introduce distinctively 21st-century clothing such as Shepard's hoodie and/or little black minidress. Maybe Shepard really likes going retro.

The 2007 Flash Gordon series averts this, for the most part. Ming the Benevolent Father almost always wears a military uniform and is only once seen in a ceremonial robe. Baylin, being a Bounty Hunter, wears rugged clothing reminiscent of Han Solo. Barin, who is not so much royalty as the chief of a tribe in this version, mostly wears practical white-ish clothes made from animal skins and, sometimes, a cape. If anything, most clothing seems old, which makes sense given that Mongo is a Crapsack World after their environment was poisoned and the old civilization destroyed. This was probably deliberate to make the show less campy than the original. The only one who really sticks to impractical clothing is Aura, who is still styled as a princess here, even though her father is not, technically, an Emperor. Even when sneaking out to hike through the treacherous jungle, she chooses to wear loose, attractive clothing rather than something more practical.

Mostly averted in Aliens, where almost everyone is military or working-class, and is dressed accordingly. The only detail of note is that the suit jackets worn by company man Paul Reiser are tailored with the collar up.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture. One set of Space Clothes was the most expensive costume worn by a film extra up to then. Behold it in all its horrifying glory. It look like Starfleet knocked off a kid's pajama warehouse. The "uniforms" even had footees instead of real shoes or boots.

Star Trek:
Star Trek: The Original Series justified its famous miniskirts as being a symbol of Sixties liberation, but it's worth noting that spacewomen in 1950's TV sci-fi also had short skirts (e.g. Carol Carlisle in Space Patrol, and Vena Ray in Rocky Jones, Space Ranger).
Star Trek: The Next Generation
The "skant" has a brief run as an optional form of the Starfleet uniform. It's a miniskirt worn by both men and women, though no male lead ever wears it. It has a few brief appearances in the first and second season, though later appearances always have pants beneath it. It disappears with the third season update, though flashback and time travel episodes occasionally give it a Continuity Nod.
Civilian clothing sometimes steers hard in this direction, with colorful jumpsuits apparently being all the rage in the Federation. However, the show also tries to subvert the trend by having most other civilian fashions look retro rather than futuristic. The 24th century is mad for tunics and other articles of dress that make our cast look like rustic peasants when out on leave. While not usually on clothing, it's worth noting that shiny, metallic fabric makes many appearances on blankets, pillows and towels in an apparent attempt to make mundane cloth items look futuristic.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine continues in a similar direction forged by The Next Generation, most evident by Jake's predilection for jumpsuits. While some civilian clothing still looks rustic and old-fashioned, other outfits look more modern, often with loud fabrics and colors, such as that time Sisko wears a maroon blazer to a guerilla war. Quark also wears a dizzying variety of outrageously loud suits as a character trait.
Star Trek: Voyager: It's hard to tell whether the show means to play this straight or not. Neelix takes Quark's role in dressing in variety of extremely loud outfits. Guest aliens include people who appear to wear strings of LEDs and wrap themselves in shower curtains. Cyborg girl Seven of Nine has a 'dermaplastic garment' (more accurately described as a 'skintight catsuit' by fans) which in its first incarnation was bright silver (later becoming Star-Spangled Spandex in purple, blue or brown). The holodeck Affectionate Parody of 1930s sci-fi serials The Adventures of Captain Proton played this straight with the requisite High Collar of Doom, metallic silver robes, and silly headdresses.

Machete Kills. Voz is giving a Rousing Speech to his guests whom he's invited to go into space with him to escape The End of the World as We Know It. He then tells everyone to change clothes, and they all strip off their ballroom gowns and tuxedos to reveal dorky space clothes. Justified as the Big Bad is a sci-fi fan.

Gundam:
The Principality of Zeon in Mobile Suit Gundam have almost Prisoner-of-Zenda-style ornate uniforms. Impractical capes, swords and epaulets and lots of gold decoration abound on officer uniforms. And they're not the most ridiculous example in the franchise!
The hip-mounted swords are at least partially justified in that they're small laser rifles meant to be shot from the hip- they just don't get much use.
Neo Zeon of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ falls into stripperific territory, with sleeveless jackets being popular for the (muscular) male soldiers while the (well endowed) female officers tend to go around in short skirts and tops that leave the upper chest and midriffs bare. One notices many a similarity to the Terran Empire uniforms from the Star Trek episode Mirror, Mirror.
The Moonrace at large in ∀ Gundam deliberately invoke this trope as their fashion sense is meant to look somewhat alien and futuristic in contrast with the Industrial-age inhabitants of Earth.

The TV version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981):
Zaphod Beeblebrox wears a suit apparently made of dayglo circuit boards. Granted, he was voted "Worst Dressed Sentient Being in the Universe" seven times running...
An interesting aversion comes from the fact that Douglas Adams originally scripted a scene where the Heart of Gold ship creates a jump-suit for Arthur. The producer, however, realised that he would have been in his pyjamas until this point and kept him in them.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Semi-averted. The badass "Monster Maroon" jacket and department-colored turtleneck combo is a million steps up from TMP's Starfleet pastel pajamas.
The production had no choice but to change the costumes. Nick Meyer wanted something more Prisoner of Zenda or Horatio Hornblower, but more importantly, the entire cast threatened to not do any more Trek unless the extremely-overengineered outfits were jettisoned — the TMP costumes were constructed in such a way that the cast needed assistance donning the outfits, even unto having assistants standing by while using the restroom. So in effect, a mutiny brought about the second-most iconic costumes in Trek history. They didn't disappear, though - they ended up being repurposed as the cadets' uniforms.

Futurama: Occasionally unusual fashions are seen or mentioned—extras often wear censor bars, and military uniforms are like Star Trek without pants (and we do mean TOS miniskirts even on the guys)—but for the most part, everyone wears 20th/21st century clothes... with peaked shoulder rings. Grimy denim jackets, janitor's cover-alls, even the wall-eyed old lady's old-lady-shirt.
One episode saw Fry and co. at a retro dance place:
In some episodes we can see the "Number 9 Man". The concept was a society ranking system that would be used in the future. Of course it is a comedy-science fiction show, so it was reduced to an occasional background character until Into the Wilde Green Yonder.
"The Mutants Are Revolting" looks at the fashion of the 30th century, just prior to the show's 31st setting. It looks like 20th century fashion (top hats and tails and so on), but, naturally, with more hovering rings on everything.

The 70s sci-fi/fantasy film Barbarella features the eponymous heroine and her extensive wardrobe, which comes in handy as so many of her outfits — often made from perspex, plastic, fur, chainmail, or vinyl — get destroyed during the course of the movie. The citizens of Sogo on Tau Ceti XVI, which Barbarella is sent to investigate, favor bondage-themed outfits, featuring leather and chains.

Future fashion in this movie tended towards ridiculously silly. Two neckties?
Even 20th-century fashions that survived to 2015 didn't make it through unscathed. For instance, teens wear blue jeans inside out.

A more realistic version in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Though early on we see Dr. Floyd travelling through space in a casual suit as well as a few people on the space station dressed similarly, the Stewardesses are seen wearing a strange white suit which includes a round hat and magnetic shoes; it looks odd but the design is somewhat practical (the shoes are designed so they can walk down aisles in zero-gravity, while the hats are probably to keep their hair from floating all over the place). However, on board Discovery, Dave and Frank are simply wearing gray jumpsuits like you'd expect from real astronauts.

In Warhammer 40,000, the only spaceship crew that actually have models are the Tau Air Caste. They wear odd alien jumpsuits and vests in the traditional style of Tau armor.
Because the human elements are highly idiosyncratic, their attire varies greatly. Most commonly used uniforms are overalls, bodygloves (especially for high-ranking crew), and tattered rags (especially for low-ranking and press-ganged crews).
Eldar and Space Marine pilots wear the same sort of armor as the ground troops, Imperial Guard pilots wear heavier armor and breath masks in the style of the Stormtroopers, and Chaos pilots are typically mutated into being a part of the vehicle.

Doctor Who: The classic series was a repeat offender, but the new series has mostly avoided silvery spandex.
The Thals in "The Daleks" are the first ever example of this aesthetic in the whole show and the first set on an alien planet: ripped tight leggings and v-shaped mantles for the men, and long striped cloaks, leotards and funny black crown things for the women. It should be pointed out that these were a race of non-space-faring farmers with a tribalistic society, living After the End. By contrast, the After the End human survivors from Season 2's The Dalek Invasion of Earth wear ragged modern day clothing.
The Drahvin Amazon Brigade from Season 3's "Galaxy 4" all have beehive hairdos, little Florence Nightingale latex things and lace-up boots.
The "planetarian" alien delegates in "Mission to the Unknown" and "The Daleks' Master Plan" have the silliest clothes imaginable, like a space helmet with a pointy top.
The scientists in "The Ice Warriors" wear white jersey jumpsuits (for the men) and minidresses (for the women) with psychedelic patterns printed on them. Lampshaded by Jamie who makes an inappropriate comment to Victoria about the women's outfits.
Zoe, being from an indeterminate point in the 21st century, wears these in every story, at least for a little bit. Check out her sparkly catsuit in "The Mind Robber" and "The Invasion", her vinyl miniskirt and jacket in "The Krotons" and her short white jumpsuit covered in zips in "The Space Pirates" for just a handful of examples.
In Season 6's "The Dominators", Dulcians of all ages and both sexes wear these ballet tutu things complete with skirts.
In "The Space Pirates", also in Season 6, Madelaine Issigri wears a pretty astonishing ensemble consisting of a quilted lurex bodysuit, a white gilet with a standup collar and an outrageous metallic hat that looks like a stylized beehive hairdo. See also the gold applique jumpsuits on the miners.
The Time Lords in their big collars and robes, first seen in "The Deadly Assassin". Possibly lampshaded as the outfit was designed partially to look good on most of the actors but stupid on Tom Baker, and it delivers.
The robot-chic fashion in "The Robots of Death".
Finally touched upon in the new series in "Kill the Moon", where Earthbound 2040s people wear exaggerated sci-fi undercut hairdos (undercuts being very fashionable in 2014), only they're considered formal enough that the Prime Minister can wear one.

The 2003 reboot, on the other hand, averts this to the point of having the Colonials wear stuff more or less off the shelf. The sole exceptions are the Colonial Fleet uniforms and priests' robes, and the strange fashion of wearing a tank top over a T-shirt, which are nevertheless not exactly far-fetched.

Dune (1984): The movie managed to come up with one set of strange clothes, thanks to the really weird mind of David Lynch, along with particular distinctive physical quirks (Mentats have giant eyebrows, the Spacing Guild are all bald and have weird voices, Harkonnens are red-haired and have terrible acne). The miniseries reveals its low budget by distinguishing people...by their hats. Children of Dune was slightly better about this, as the budget was a mote higher. The Atreides and the Emperor seem to constantly wear military uniforms in the film. Justified with the Emperor, whose fetish for uniforms was mentioned in the books.

In Stargate Atlantis, the civilian personnel wear completely plausible uniforms (aside from fitting a bit too well), but you can see the Space Clothes inspiration. The military personnel, being normal modern Earth soldiers, wear normal modern Earth military gear. Some of the alien societies, on the other hand, go much further.
The Wraith have the coolest clothing. While normal drones wear what looks like chitin and queens have gowns, officers are clad in black leather from neck to feet. Considering they are really pale and have white hair, this makes for a nice contrast. Travelers have a black and red version while Ancients and Asurans usually wear a futuristic white and cream-colored suit. Regarding the Vanir, they always tank around in copper-colored powered armor except in one case when they revealed their true nature: as Asgard, they are completely naked. And needless to say, Tau'ri wear BDUs. Genii clothing looks like WW2-era Soviet uniforms.

The Gurps Traveller volume Interstellar Wars has the best art work of all the Gurps Traveller's (given that the others are all black and white, it's not a contest). It shows Terrans dressed in clothes that look reasonably similar to modern clothes (dark blue uniforms for Terran spacers for instance) and Vilani in exotic looking clothes (flowing robes and the like) that still look vaguely human. Both styles tend to be reasonably handsome.
An article in the website Freelance Traveller tells of a line of "smart clothes" touched up technologically with such perks as touch sensitivity (allowing you to wear it without feeling like you are wearing it), internal heating systems, variable color, variable transparency, and so on.

While Firefly is intentionally devoid of this for the most part due to its Space Western feel, with most of the characters dressing as according to the frontier concept or in ways related to American or Chinese culture in general, Jubal Early, the Operative and several other characters wear straight-up Space Clothes. In the two named characters' cases, this is said to be body armor rather than regular clothing, though... but damn do they just look like jumpsuits.
Jubal Early's jumpsuit thingy is a spacesuit, or doubles as one. He used it to float between his ship and Serenity.
One does have to wonder, however, about how Persephone's return to Regency fashions came about...
Meanwhile, civilians in more built-up worlds tend to wear what look like modern suits with no lapels, and ties folded in half and kept in place with a clip.

The Principality of Zeon in Mobile Suit Gundam have almost Prisoner-of-Zenda-style ornate uniforms. Impractical capes, swords and epaulets and lots of gold decoration abound on officer uniforms. And they're not the most ridiculous example in the franchise!
The hip-mounted swords are at least partially justified in that they're small laser rifles meant to be shot from the hip- they just don't get much use.

In Dragon Ball Z, all the aliens are initially shown wearing what look like Spandex bodysuits, with various degrees of actual coverage, under their armor. Later, Bulma figures out how to replicate the Saiyan armor for Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Trunks to wear during their trip to the Room of Spirit and Time, and the spandex is again part of the outfit.

Star Trek: Voyager: It's hard to tell whether the show means to play this straight or not. Neelix takes Quark's role in dressing in variety of extremely loud outfits. Guest aliens include people who appear to wear strings of LEDs and wrap themselves in shower curtains. Cyborg girl Seven of Nine has a 'dermaplastic garment' (more accurately described as a 'skintight catsuit' by fans) which in its first incarnation was bright silver (later becoming Star-Spangled Spandex in purple, blue or brown). The holodeck Affectionate Parody of 1930s sci-fi serials The Adventures of Captain Proton played this straight with the requisite High Collar of Doom, metallic silver robes, and silly headdresses.

Far Out There generally sticks to normal clothing for its main characters (despite being set in the distant future), but secondary or background characters tend to look a bit more fanciful.
Behold, the skin-tight silliness that is Layla's containment suit.

A pragmatic version in Project Moonbase (1953). United States Space Force astronauts dress casually in shorts, tops, and tight-fitting skullcaps (presumably to stop one's hair floating about in zero-gravity).

Nicole in Quantum Vibe usually just wears an anysuit that looks like a jumpsuit when powered down, but uses holograms to look like practically any form of clothing including all types of space clothes.

In Amazon Women on the Moon—being a parody of a cheesy 1950s B-Movie—the typical Amazon wears what can best be described as a Minidress of Power and high heels.

Babylon 5:
Averted for the humans, who wear clothing that doesn't differ too much from contemporary fashions, while still looking kind of foreign, particularly with the odd shirt in a sort of mottled-brown printed pattern, military uniforms — proper uniforms with pockets, not pyjamas — or things like suit jackets with the lapels missing or oddly-cut and collarless shirts. Women's fashions in particular trend to the timeless (if occasionally a bit low-cut).
The Minbari and the Narn, on the other hand, play this to the hilt.

The original Flash Gordon serials set the standard for "Space Clothes" back in the '30s. The Movie exaggerated it.

Star Trek: The Next Generation
The "skant" has a brief run as an optional form of the Starfleet uniform. It's a miniskirt worn by both men and women, though no male lead ever wears it. It has a few brief appearances in the first and second season, though later appearances always have pants beneath it. It disappears with the third season update, though flashback and time travel episodes occasionally give it a Continuity Nod.
Civilian clothing sometimes steers hard in this direction, with colorful jumpsuits apparently being all the rage in the Federation. However, the show also tries to subvert the trend by having most other civilian fashions look retro rather than futuristic. The 24th century is mad for tunics and other articles of dress that make our cast look like rustic peasants when out on leave. While not usually on clothing, it's worth noting that shiny, metallic fabric makes many appearances on blankets, pillows and towels in an apparent attempt to make mundane cloth items look futuristic.
