In Generations, for some strange reason, Riker wore his jumpsuit sleeves partially rolled up (not as far as O'Brien's were), but with his undershirt's sleeves worn normally.

The following production year, for some bizarre reason, the EMH wore both his jumpsuit sleeves and his undershirt sleeves pushed up (a la O'Brien, except his undershirt sleeves were rolled up rather than pushed up):

This really makes very little actual sense, as a holographic being (especially one who could control his solidity at will) would be quite unencumbered by its/his holographic clothing while working, nor would such a being be overheated or uncomfortable in long sleeves unless programmed to be so.
Maybe he was experimenting with his physical wellness (such as making himself sick in "Tattoo), experimenting with his appearance (like how he had hair in the alternate future of "Before and After"), or some other such thing.
'course, he only ever did it in this one episode, and it's not a bad look for him, so maybe it's best not to think about it too hard.

On a related note, Bashir's "haggard doctor" look a couple years later in Deep Space Nine's "A Time to Stand" was a good, too:
I read somewhere that Riker wore his uniform that way in Generations because it wasn't made for him and didn't fit properly. It was in fact Sisko's uniform.
ReplyDeleteNew jnifouni were designed and made for Generations, but were scrapped at the last minute, and there was no time to make new ones, so the DS9 uniforms were borrowed for Generations.
