To boldy go home

Jim thinks he’s the one intimidating everyone, but in reality Spock’s right behind him being the actual intimidator. Don’t challenge his cinnamon roll husband.

And now I’m imagining Spock trying to decide what style would suit Jim’s family so that his hair shows that he is married to Jim

Oh!!!!!!!!! That's such a cool idea tbh???!!

Oh my gosh, my friend, it is DRAMATIC!

For some reason they abandoned the shiny metallics T’Pring, Stonn and the “executioner for cowardice” and that is a shame!

However! I’m not complaining about the end product! It certainly had more thought put into it lol! Except for the bowl cuts!! I like the hairstyles (especially the fem ones!) from the original designs much much better! There’s nothing logical about bangs in the desert!

Lots of dark colors and elegant protection for the neck! (My favorite is Spock’s! What a LOOK😍)

I’d imagine that Vulcans are cold-blooded or at least run at a much lower body temperatures than we do because their planet is extremely hot. So dark, heat-absorbing colors make plenty sense for them to wear! The nape of the neck on fur-less bipeds is particularly vulnerable to the sun so the collars make sense. They also make it harder to neck pinch someone I’m sure (except T’Pol’s outfit, but they sexualized the crap out of her in Enterprise so... yeah.)

This stuff is all very formal and proper, but I imagine more casual Vulcan wear would look a little closer to the ceremonial robes (or at least that’d make sense to me!)

Big hoods big nomadic desert folk energy! Their ornateness and lighter colors made sense for historical reasons, as religious spiritual people tend to be higher in the social hierarchy getting to live in more shaded, cooler areas. Something that has apparently survived the Surakian Awakening (which lends itself to the possibility that Vulcan has a corrupt religious caste but that’s a WHOLE other post)

However in a urbanized, industrialized Vulcan I’m sure the elements aren’t as much of a problem as they were. So you can wear brighter, less severe clothing. Kind of like what Amanda, Surak & Tuvok wear here:
