Counselor Deanna Troi didn't wear a Starfleet uniform until the last couple of seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Here's why.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT For most of the run of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Counselor Deanna Troi didn't wear a traditional Starfleet uniform. Despite being one of the main characters who spent much of her time on the bridge of the USS Enterprise, Troi wore various civilian outfits throughout the first several seasons of TNG.
Because of her empathic abilities, Troi held a higher position on the Enterprise than many ship's counselors would. Under normal circumstances, she likely would not have been a bridge officer, but Picard valued Troi's ability to sense others' emotions and asked her to act as his advisor. Captain Picard was never a stickler for unnecessary regulations, so it would make sense that he allowed her to wear civilian clothes even while on the bridge.
As Deanna evolved in later seasons, she grew as a character and began to take on more responsibilities on the Enterprise. In TNG season 7, episode 16, "Thine Own Self," Troi tells her future husband Commander William Riker that she wants to become a full Commander and take on more command duties. In wearing the Starfleet uniform, Troi likely feels more like a commanding officer and is perhaps also taken more seriously as a commander.
