There also was a bunch of selectivisim going on: by allowing the only klingon in Starfleet, a son of a major house, wearing the sash, and then having him posted prominently on board the bridge of their flagship, was a power move.

    Also: officers. Not only officers, but bridge crew officers. Captain + 1. There's more leeway after you've fought your way up the ranks.

    I bet Harry Kim was always violating the dress code off screen, and that's why he's the perpetual ensign.

    Cptn Janeway: "Ensign Kim, what the hell are you wearing?"

    Kim: "Oh these! Tom was telling me about them. They were all the rage in 1900's America and were worn by people seen as both tough and cool. They're called 'Assless Chaps.' I have to admit it was a little weird sitting down at first but I'm a huge fan of the cooling factor!"

    Janeway turns to Lt. Paris

    Tom's barely contained laughter waters his eyes trying not to lose it
