== Anime and Manga ==

* The armor worn in ''[[Saint Seiya]]''

* ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z'' has Vegeta's ever popular combat suit. It is a skintight bodysuit with chest armor over top, but the actual armor piece gets continually smaller until it's done away with completely in the Buu arc.

** Vegeta's Saiyan armor is somewhat justified. While it's kind of unclear who exactly made the armor (it's called Saiyan armor, but it's mainly seen worn by Frieza's forces, even in flashbacks) the obvious intent was for it to match the form of whoever was wearing it (in the case of Saiyans, it is so that they can transform into their gargantuan Ozaru forms without destroying their wardrobe, while Frieza's men come in all shapes and sizes, in addition to being able to transform as well, so producing one type of armor that conformed to everyone's shape makes manufacturing them easier).

** It must be a Fuurinji family trait. Grandpa Fuurinji wears thick robes that somehow manage to show off all his abs and arm muscles.

** That, or that he's so damn ''ripped!''

* Likewise Tiana from ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'' lives in [[The Roaring Twenties]]. Her blue gown has a belt where the correct waistline should be, but the top is completely form fitting.

* Various episodes of ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]'' have Vince in skin tight latex jumpsuits.

* ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'', Seven of Nine wears mostly suits that are far more form-fitting than the regular uniforms.

* ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'', T'Pol has a jump suit that is not only more form fitting than the uniforms, but also for Vulcan clothing.

== Tabletop Games ==

* Some Eldar armor in ''Warhammer40000'' molds to the user absurdly well in the regions not covered by the stiffened overplates, especially noticeable with the Guardian model's easily visible abs.

** Justified in that it's Psycho-sensitive plastic, so it conforms to the form for maximum protection while simultaniously affording maximum mobility.

== Video Games ==

* In the ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' spin off ''[[Dirge of Cerberus]]'' one of the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Tsviets]] named [[Emotionless Girl|Shelke]] wears a suit that fits this trope.

* In ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', both the female and male Cleric / Pilgrim class members wear a ''very'' tight-fitting orange bodysuit under their churchly attire.
