'Survival Instinct'

In this episode the Voyager spaceship is visited by three former victims of the Borg, who all sport jackets, dresses and trousers that have been made out of a patchwork of different matterials, giving the outfits a slightly cobbled up feel to them.

'Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy'

This episode had the Voyager crew attracting the attention of the Hierarchy, a militaristic species whose military are all clad in black tunics with a very large raised collar, with a ridged belt around the middle as well - this design is perhaps one of the most obviously bulky in the series yet, and makes the Hierarchy look both very officious and kind of ridiculous (which, I assume, was the intention).

'Riddles'

This episode had the Voyager investing a species of cloaked aliens, with the investigation being aided by the alien Naroq (Mark Moses) who sports a stiff grey jacket worn over a shiny shirt, with red lining around the collar lining of both the shirt and collar.

'Dragon's Teeth'

This episode involved the Voyager coming across the Vaadwuar, a previously warlike species who had went into stasis in order to survive the space war they had became involved in. One notable member of the Vaadwuar is Gedrin (Jeff Allin) who sports a metallic colored jacket with copper colored accents around the sleeves, as well as on the faux vest underneath the jacket flaps. The trousers are made of the same metallic colored material as the jacket.

Briefly seen at the start of the episode is Gedrin's wife Jisa (Mimi Craven) who wears a dress made out of iridescent purple vinyl, and is fitted with long sleeves and a purple variation section down the front

Also awakened is Gaul (Robert Knepper), a military commander sporting a brown jacket fitted with brown vinyl alligator print down the front, as well as going up the inner sleeves. There also are two black bands wrapping around the torso culminating in a metal buckle on the front, with a black collar accent with metal detail is attached at the neck. Under Gaul's command are several soldiers sporting brown jumpsuits with brown vinyl print down the front, back and making up the inner sleeves. Like Gaul's uniform, there are two black bands wrap around the torsos.

'Blink of an Eye'

In this episode, Voyager ends up in orbit around a planet where time passes more quickly than in the rest of the universe so that a day on our planet was a year on theirs - one such member of the planet's people was Gotana-Retz (Daniel Dae Kim), a pilot who mostly sports fairly bland jumpsuits except for this blue-green deal with ridged shoulders he sports when old at the episode's end.

The ship's holographic Doctor also is briefly sent down to the planet, and arrives sporting an asymmetrical beige and brown tunic.

'Tsunkatse'

In this episode, Seven of Nine is abducted to serve in the titular future bloodsport, which is organized by the sleazy Penk (Jeffrey Combs) who wears a wraparound jacket with long ends made of a metallic rust-coloured material, worn with trousers of the same colour and over an orange shirt. This costume was also worn in the Deep Space 9 episode 'Who Mourns for Morn?', worn by an alien gangster.

Of course, the episode is most famous for having Seven of Nine sporting her fighting gear and facing off against another alien fighter played by none other than the Rock - Seven of Nine's fighting outfit consists of a metallic green vinyl jumpsuit with ridging around the waist, and worn with a belt made out of similar material to the jumpsuit.

There seems to have been another version of this jumpsuit made, designed to be more revealing as it has no sleeves and a section cut around the midriff.

'Ashes to Ashes'

This episode had the starship Voyager being visited by the former crewmember Jhet'leya (Kim Rhodes), who wears a brown velvet jumpsuit fitted with an upper torso section with a spotted pattern as well as black legs.

Jhet'leya is the daughter of Q'ret (Kevin Lowe), who dresses in a jacket made of similarly brown velvety material, with a more coarse material over the shoulders and sleeves as well.

This should also be a good time to mention the various tops worn by the former Borg drone Icheb (Manu Initraymi), who seems to be following in the footsteps of The Next Generation's Wesley Crusher and Deep Space Nine's Jake Sisko in terms of fashion sense! All of Icheb's tops follow an asymmetrical design where the top is divided into square blocks of alternating material, with my personal favorite probably being the more muted black, blue and brown deal.

'Muse'

In this episode, B'elanna Torres ends up stuck on a primitive planet where she is now the inspiration for a local poet's theatrical epic, performed for the pleasure of 'the Warlord' (Stoney Westmoreland), who dresses in a sleeveless brown tunic worn over a jumpsuit, with the tunic being fitted with a leather corset that itself has been fitted with several golden segments, as well as tassels that trail down below the waist.

More impressive is the dress worn by the Warlord's unnamed wife, who wears a brown dress fitted with a gold colored circular design, elastic waist and ruffled collar - just like the warlord, this dress has a corset fitted with golden metallic segments over it, though here they are arranged to go down over the waist and form part of the skirt, which are fitted with tassels as well too. Also worn with this dress are gauntlets and a necklace.
