Space is really inhospitable to humans, that's why great emphasis is placed on protective suits - spacesuits for cosmonauts, whether for movement on the moon or free movement outside of spaceships. Fashion does not play a role here, but a strong presentation of belonging to a given nation or space agency in the form of flags and badges has always been in the foreground.

the spacesuit of Apollo 13 mission commander James Lovell
Soviet spacesuit for space ascent
