6. The Space Shuttle suit
Space Shuttle astronauts will always be remembered for their bright and bulky orange Advanced Crew Escape Suit, or ACES, which went into service in 1994 and replaced the similar-looking Launch Entry Suit (LES). These suits were designed to help astronauts survive some of the most extreme conditions, so some fashion awkwardness couldn’t be prevented, like the oversized shin pockets. Still, the outfit doesn’t look too, too bad, but they were affectionately referred to as “pumpkin suits.” The full-pressure outfits featured built-in parachutes, life preservers, and even survival drinking packets.
