{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* The [[Transformation Sequence]] in ''[[Moldiver]]'' causes [[Clothing Damage|the user's clothes to get shredded]] if they don't undress first. When we see the main character buy some expensive new clothes, its fate was inevitable.
* ''[[Ranma
* In ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'', the titular character is at one point given a new cashmere coat to wear while out in town doing errands. Cue lampshade hanging en masse by everyone he meets. He does a spectacular job of dodging hazards, but then ends up jumping in a pond to save a friend of his master.

* In ''[[Naruto]]'', the titular character recently started sporting a [[Badass Longcoat]] to go along with his new [[Took a Level
* The fate of Asaka's Yukata in the anime ''[[Dokkoida?!]]''.
* In ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'' Oz gives his wibbly little servant Gilbert a nice new set of white clothes to wear at Oz's coming of age ceremony. Oz himself is wearing a splendid white outfit just for the occasion. During the ceremony, both Oz and Gilbert (mostly Gilbert) end up bloody (shows up nicely on white) before Oz takes a tumble into a very special hell.
* The new outfit Lucy gets during the middle of any given ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' arc will almost inevitably end up more shredded than the one she'd been replacing due to damage.
* ''[[Suzume (film)|Suzume]]'': Chika gives Suzume some casual wear to use in place of the latter's uniform, but it gets badly damaged as a result of the events in Tokyo, forcing a reversion to the uniform.
== Comics ==
Line 37 ⟶ 38:
* [[Judy Garland]] in ''In The Good Old Summertime''. It's not bad enough that she's carrying a parasol on a windy day, she has to get knocked over by a guy as part of a [[Meet Cute]] as well. Note that this can cross over with the old umbrella-getting-turned-inside-out gag (which should have its own trope) for added pathos.
* Susan in the Hayley Mills version of ''[[The Parent Trap (1961 film)|The Parent Trap]]''. There she is, having a nice conversation with a boy on a porch, and her new dress gets cut up as part of a feud with her lookalike and as-yet unknown sister Sharon.
* Crossover with [[Fur and Loathing]] in the film ''It Could Happen to You''. The bitchy wife, who just became a [[Rich Bitch]], buys a fur coat, and as soon as she gets out of the store, her coat gets hit with red paint.
* In ''[[Dogma]]'' the angel Metatron seems to complain about his clothes getting ruined. When it happens one time, he reaches over and uses God's dress to wipe something off his clothes. She's not too happy about that. (Yes, it's a comedy).
Line 85 ⟶ 86:
* Scrappy (the kid, not the dog) struggles to protect his ''Sunday Clothes'' (1931) in a theatrical short. He successfully dodges a gang of bullies and rides over a mudhole on a sewer worker's head, but in the end... [[Failure Is the Only Option|well...]]
* The future Anita Radcliff in the animated version of ''[[101 Dalmatians|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]''. Clearly she spent hours ironing her new spring suit, but there she goes into the pond! Note that when you combine [[Meet Cute
* Veronica Vreeland in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]''. There she is, buying a new dress for her date with Bruce Wayne and along comes a spooked Harley Quinn. [[Watch the Paint Job|Her car gets ruined]], too.
** Well, considering that Veronica actually got ''taken hostage'' by Harley, I don't think she was too concerned about the car at first.
Line 95 ⟶ 96:
* In the Disney version of ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]'', the title character shows off her new [[Princesses Prefer Pink|pink dress]] made by her mice friends. Her stepsisters aggressively tear it to pieces.
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] on [[The Simpsons]]

* An episode of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' had Lucius show off his new [[Nice Hat]]. Jimmy was around. You can guess the rest.
* One of the running gags of ''[[My Little Pony]]:[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Friendship Is Magic]]'', is that Rarity, the fashionista of the group, often has her nice clothes get messy, dirty, or destroyed.
** Special mention goes to ''Swarm of the Century'', where the parasprites, after turning [[Extreme Omnivore]], eat the very clothes Twilight had complimented Rarity on making the previous day.
** She successfully [[Defied Trope]] this during the brunch in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
