Part 3 - DS9 season 6, VOY season 4

We wouldn't see any T-shirts or tank tops again until the following production year, beginning with Deep Space Nine's early season 6 episode "Rocks and Shoals," in which we saw an assortment of T-shirts and tank tops amongst the cast:

DS9, 6x2 "Rocks and Shoals"

Perhaps it's just our eyes playing tricks on us, but Bashir's T-shirt looked unique - more medically-inspired: 











"Rocks and Shoals" also reintroduced the look of the "unzipped" division shirt with the gray T-shirt or tank top peeking out of the top, as established by Picard in First Contact:



DS9, 6x7 "You Are Cordially Invited"
A few episodes later, in Deep Space Nine's episode "You Are Cordially Invited," Jadzia wore her tank top for a while:



















Again, there was little else specifically remarkable about it other than its appearance except that the front looked to be a single panel - i.e. no seams (as opposed to later tank tops from the era): 



That same broadcast week, Voyager's episode "Year of Hell (part 2)" aired, in which Janeway spent the majority of the episode in her new tank top, which had seams along the bust that seemed to intersect the inner edge of the neckline binding at the shoulder seam: 

VOY, 4x9 "Year of Hell (part 2)"

Later that production year, Jadzia sported her tank top again in Deep Space Nine's episode "Change of Heart" (after removing an oddity of a division shirt, in that it supposedly completely opened in the front): 

DS9, 6x16 "Change of Heart"

Unfortunately, we were unable to ascertain whether or not her tank top incorporated the new Voyager-style seams or was a reuse of the one she wore earlier in the season.
