Form follow function.
Find functions that profit from the form you want.
A favorite of mine for the space-age.
1) You can't wear a vacuum-rated spacesuit all the time,
- you risk puncturing it by accident, needing costly repair,
- it's thick, bulky, heavy, unpractical, also a pain to wash,
- you'll keep them safe and ready to slip on at moment notice.
2) spaceship
- mass isn't cheap, every gram asks for more propellant
- you don't make 3 meters wide pressurized corridors if you don't need to move big things inside
- unless you have artificial gravity, you'll be floating in 0G clothes have to adapt for that
- don't have the budget to carry tons of ceremonial clothing.
3) skintight suits
- they make it easier to slip into spacesuits, tight space, and they don't need to be treated carefully,
- they keep your moisture and dead skins away from others and from the ventillation,
- material can spread your body heat uniformly, no point sweating in it,
- no pocket means you won't forget something in it, if you take tools, you sign them out, then in,
- if you really need to carry stuffs, just add a harness over it or give it to your reliable drones,
- if the suit stretch easily/smartly, you need less size to fit everyone,
4) combat
- make it easier to see where you are hurt and seal the wound,
- hopefully you have medical science that don't require to cut the clothes, else its a criteria,
- if it's make of smart-material that contract at will, it can be used to fight G-force,
- the suit can be made as an interface for something else,
- the suit can also just make the body position a known factor, keep it in position in the combat suit so you don't need to adjust plenty of straps,

Zipper technology exist, future zipper hopefully not looking like a BDSM suit parody
We are discussing this for any fetishist reason after all.
This refined anon
>>64007004 is only thinking of the practicality mentioned above.
