Probably the classic bowl cut capsule corp crop top jacket and sword look he debuted as.

I feel like they got his colors right this time.

Other than the Salaryman Trunks design I came up with for my fanfic, yep, it's his EoZ design for me too. His jacket outfit is so good.

I'd love to see something like that in Super.

His initial look when first he shows up, with the Capsule Corp jacket. Really like both the bowl cut and the SSJ look.
A close second for me is his Kid Trunks look from Z, with the blue-ish green gi. And then his EoZ look.
EDIT: Actually I forgot how clean GT Trunks looks until PremiumSalt shared that pic. GT Trunks is #2
The story of DRAGON BALL starts from the moment Goku met Bulma. I don't really mind the Z, so long as it's understood that it's not the true beginning of the story.
I actually prefer the Goku vs Tenshinhan and Goku vs Piccolo Jr. rivalries to the Goku vs Vegeta rivalry.

Not the biggest fan of GT overall, but Trunks' GT design is the best the character has ever looked, to me:

Zero context, zero setup. Its in NO way meant to be seen as a "beginning point" for ANYTHING other than the next story arc. It flows precisely and fluidly from where things left off in the aftermath of the 23rd Budokai and mostly hits the ground running from there without really stopping to look back. You're plopping someone into the middle of a book starting at chapter 195 out of 519 for absolutely no good goddamn reason, with very minimal opportunity to look back at much needed context and character/story growth.

The post-RoSaT look, with the longer hair tied back, wearing the Capsule Corp jacket and outfit.

The most obvious choice hasnt been mentioned yet: Movie 9
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Movie #12 (Bojack). God, that ripped jacket was such a good look. So fucking sexy with that long hair, too.

I like sharp and mature Trunks from the very end of the Cell arc. It's a shame that he goes back to looking short and boyish (and blue-haired, for reasons only Zamasu knows) in Super.

Easily the Broly/Bojack movie design.
I always thought it was the best of both worlds in terms of having the longer hair from the Cell Games yet still keeping his sword. I always associate the longer hair with a more matured version of Trunks and I wish they'd kept it for his future variation.
All the other outfits outside of the original two just never appealed to me. The Xenoverse and Super attires are particularly bad in my opinion due to the weird choice of colours, and that black jacket just doesn't work at all.
The GT version was bland but at least it wasn't offensive to look at.

I will go full classic here and pick bulma's jacket trunks aka Mirai trunks.
But I am glad someone else appreciates trunks' outfit on GT because it's so cute and dorky but yet very fit for exploring. The Bermudas and boots for hiking, the blazer for the winds, the bandana for the sweat, the brown gloves for driving the spaceship. Everything was well thought and, more importantly, this is a design coming straight from toriyama's hand. Great design.
Thanks for this topic, I enjoyed it.

GT Trunks is dressed like a rich kid in golfing gear, so it's quite befitting.

I always thought GT Trunks was trying to look a bit like a cowboy.
btw I agree with NitroEX that I like Trunks' long hair being associated with him being older/more mature, especially with the Capsule Corp jacket or any variation of it. Would have been nice if he could have kept the sword.

I guess this one since it gives off such Ruroni Kenshi-esqe vibes. It's also a nice addition to a group where the majority have more of a buff martial artists design.

I can't believe I forgot about this. Definitely my second favorite design.

Probably his iconic initial design from when we first see him. Although both Movie 9 and his look right after exiting the Time Chamber deserve honourable mentions.
