Just one word: capes. I think they'd look cool in microgravity. Has anyone ever worn a cape in microgravity?

Without atmosphere, capes wouldn't billow aesthetically. I'm not sure what they'd end up looking like, but I imagine they'd awkwardly just sort of hang there at a weird angle, and swing with the wearer's rotational movements like a flexible pendulum, getting in the way while looking dorky.

Flags also had support structure so that they stand nicely. Some servos could easily make elegant waves.

just shoot a little bit of the suit's air out of your butt at the cape

The Incredibles taught me why you wouldn't want capes[1], especially in space and rocketry.

The British had a concept for what a space suit would look like in the 1940s which had a cape. https://boingboing.net/2021/05/28/in-1949-the-british-interp...

Capes? Didn't work too well for Thunder Head. Who could forget November 15th of '58?
