Star Trek first hit the broadcast television airwaves on September 8, 1966. It took two pilots to get NBC to air the first episode, “The Man Trap,” and, well, science fiction would never be the same. William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk boldly captained the USS Enterprise over 79 regular episodes through the show’s three seasons. The ensemble cast included Leonard Nimoy as Mr Spock, James Doohan as chief engineer Scotty, George Takei as helmsman Sulu, Deforest Kelley as ship’s surgeon and Nichelle Nichols as communications officer Uhura. (Navigator Pavel Chekov would be introduced in season two.) Not exactly a smashing success in its initial run, the show was cancelled after three seasons due to poor ratings. But it did garner some serious attention from science fiction fans. Building on that, it was during subsequent syndication that the show truly made its mark on pop culture. The “five year mission” became a smashing success and garnered new fans around the globe. Gene Roddenberry’s stories connected to his broad vision of “committed to a liberalism that believed in prosperity, technological progress, and universal humanity” and ultimately his idealized future would spawn Star Trek into the expansive franchise that we know today. Of course, the original Star Trek series is still revered nowadays due its incredible storytelling, but also for the retro, albeit campy, appeal of what seemed futuristic in the 1960s. The iconic Starfleet uniforms remain a stalwart of the show’s imagery, which is why it’s no surprise to us that Star Trek Halloween costumes are still a big deal. And we have the styles from the Original Series that will let you portray any of your favorite characters. Check out these styles to see if any of them make you want to say, “Beam me up, Scotty!”

What the original Star Trek did for the fans of the 70s and 80s, Star Trek: The Next Generation did for, quite literally, the next generation! These syndicated adventures started in 1987 with Patrick Stewart helming a new cast as the crew of the Enterprise NCC-1701-D. Set in the 24th century, he had a new, diverse crew, with memorable characters such as first officer Will Riker, tactical officer Worf, engineer Geordi LaForge, doctor Beverly Crusher, and counselor Deanna Troi. Updated Starfleet costumes made their debut as a modern take on the classics, having been updated for 24th century sensibilities. Initially one piece spandex jumpsuit costumes, the majority of them were replaced from the third season onward as the real life cast found a new redesigned uniform style to be much more comfortable. Black shoulders and pants coordinated with colored sleeves and chest and back panels. Similar to the Original Series, colors corresponded to an officer’s division assignment, with the colors for command and operations having switched after the “Monster Maroon” movie era of the Star Trek timeline. Our Star Trek uniform shirts are made in the signature style of the series. You’ll have to supply your own black pants, but the most important part is still included: the rank pips! 4 pips are included with butterfly pin backs, so you can choose your own rank and position on the ship. And that means you’ll be able to portray any of your favorite characters. “Engage” as your favorite member of the Enterprise-D crew and you’ll be ready to boldly go where no one has gone before!
