Dec 19, 2019 at 16:25 comment added Withad This isn't really enough for an answer but by TNG, uniform rules seem to be at the discretion of the captain or senior staff. Worf's allowed to wear his baldric, the Bajoran earring is disallowed but exceptions are made ("Ensign Ro", "Learning Curve"), and Troi puts on an actual uniform at Jellico's request ("Chain of Command"). So Archer may have simply allowed it for some reason.
Dec 19, 2019 at 16:12 comment added Omegacron Dr. Phlox is a civilian consultant, not an actual member of Starfleet.
Dec 19, 2019 at 16:04 comment added Withad @GarretGang Phlox was part of the Interspecies Medical Exchange program (memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Interspecies_Medical_Exchange). I can't find any reference to him being in a Denobulan equivalent to Starfleet so I assume he's technically a civilian with a Starfleet job, however that works.
Dec 19, 2019 at 15:18 comment added motoDrizzt @GarretGang Phlox was a Starfleet Chief medical officer; as such he would be expected to wear a uniform too, as Miles O'Brien in DS9.
Dec 19, 2019 at 13:42 comment added Pliny Is Dr flox considered a member of Starfleet or a civilian?
Dec 19, 2019 at 12:32 comment added motoDrizzt (2/2) Especially with T'Pol: she is an alien, anyway. Does the Starfleet dress code applies to aliens? Did they already know it? Or did they still had to learn what is an uniform and how to use it?
Dec 19, 2019 at 12:30 comment added motoDrizzt (1/2) ENT is a himn on how stupid and obtuse humanity is; the series begin with Starfleet being completely disconnected from reality and from anything ever happened in the past, and slowly crawls up to a pinch of normality. So for example they need a couple of season to add military personnel on a military ship, they need to reinvent the wheel to come up with the idea of alert levels, they obviously had to rediscover the prime directive, and so on. T'Pol? Well, Starfleet has forgotten thousands of year of history, is it that surprising that they are still learning how to use uniforms?
