why did voyager not get tng style uniforms

Voyager started after TNG and the uniforms were in transition during "Generations" (also before Voyager). So basically the reason the VOY crew never wore the TNG uniforms is because the Starfleet uniform had changed by then. Both VOY and TNG were wearing the same uniforms until the change to the grey topped ones, and VOY obviously didn't change since they were away in the Delta Quadrant and keeping up with the latest Starfleet uniform was hardly the first thing on their min.
Well Voyager was a new show, so they got the new uniforms and not cast-offs from TNG extras.
There you go. On Earth they wore those uniforms. The ones worn for starship duty could be different. (AFAIK, on modern US Navy vessels, the choice of uniform of the day is left up to the captain. Perhaps it's the same here.)
I don't know about "plenty" of opportunities to show the TNG uniforms, but by the time the Voyager episodes could show scenes on Earth for whatever reason, the DS9/VOY uniforms seemed to spread like wildfire.
Though, the question seems to be fair but from a production standpoint. The last time we chronologically see the uniforms is in DS9's "Tears of the Prophets," side by side with the First Contact-style uniforms:

Earth refused to give up the TNG uniforms while DS9 was sporting the movie uniforms, but by the time voyager gets found, the earthlings are all wearing movie uniforms as if they never bothered with the early ds9 uniforms, skipping an entire fashion season.
I guess it all really depends on if uniforms are washed or continually broken down and then refabricated in their clothing synthisizers (Like O'Briens socks.)

I always assumed clothes got cleaned sonically, like the showers.
That would still require personal sonic laundries or communal sonic laundries or a sonic laundry service.
The last two of which would require a detachment of crew to service and an officer to act as a department head thereof.

How do you know they didn't have a sonic cleaner in crew quarters and they just dumped their uniform in their each night?
From TNG In theory...
Now stop bickering before I get my guy stick out.

Maybe it's not a cleaner. Could be just a replicator that breaks down the old uniform and reassembles a brand new one.
Personally, I would have preferred it if VOY had followed Star Trek: Generations' and feature both the TNG and DS9 uniforms, with the latter being used more as fatigues than a standard duty uniform.
Seriously, why does anyone care about the damned uniform Voyager wore.
This is a fandom site, minutiae is the glue of the place.
Voyager didn't wear a uniform. She was naked.
You could see her nacelles and everything.
Her ample nacelles.
