Line 527:
* The three main characters of ''[[Dan Vs.]]'' basically wears the same clothes almost episode, and sometimes when Dan switches up he's wearing Chris' clothes.
* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' characters rarely dress in anything but their standard sets, which is funny considering Rhonda is such a fashionista and often makes snide remarks regarding other people's clothes... but never her own never-changing style. Though in one episode she claimed to be wearing brand new designer boots, it they looked just like the ones she regularly wears.
* April O'Neil in the 1987 version of ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 series)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]''. The only time she didn't wear her trademark one-piece yellow jumpsuit was if the situation warranted something different, like if she was at the beach. Her friend Irma
* ''[[Miraculous Ladybug]]''; despite Marinette and Adrien having career goals of fashion designing and modeling, respectively, each tends to stick to the same outfit in their civilian identities unless there's a reason for something else, like PE class. Marinette always wears a white shirt, black jacket, and pink slacks, while Adrien wears a black shirt, white jacket, jeans, and orange shoes. Most of the supporting cast is like this too.
Line 623:
* Considering their level of income, it's no surprise that the characters in ''[[Reaper]]'' have an extremely limited wardrobe. Sock seems to own maybe three shirts, one of which is heavily stained.
* Not necessarily a gag per se, but it's certainly notable on ''[[Fringe]]'' when Olivia Dunham opens her closet and her wardrobe consists entirely of black jackets, pantsuits, white shirts, and grey scarves. They're slightly different, but all the same color scheme. {{spoiler|It's actually a plot point, since wearing monochrome is a "uniform," conditioned into the Jacksonville test subjects.}}
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' and ''[[Angel]]'':
** Justified, [[Lampshaded]], and then parodied in the character of Spike
** Of course, that happened in the third-to-last episode of ''Angel'', so "the rest of the show's run" constitutes two more episodes...
** Rather amusingly, when he was unhinged following his acquisition of {{spoiler|a soul}}, Spike tried to "disguise" himself so he wouldn't be identified with the old Spike. His disguise? Wearing a shirt that wasn't black.
** Parodied in the ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' season 2 episode "What's My Line, Part 2": When Kendra (a slayer very dedicated to her call, with no personal ties whatsoever) has her shirt slashed in battle, she angrily comments on this by shouting (in her trademark accent) "That's me best shirt!", followed by the even more angry follow-up comment "That's me ''only'' shirt!" At the end of the episode, Buffy gives her one of her own shirts.
** Zigzagged with Giles who seemed to never wears anything except his tweed suit in earlier seasons. While he did have something of a variety - houndstooth, twill, and other classic mid-century patterns -
you'd have to be a fashion designer to find much difference. Jokes about this were frequently made, such as members of the Scoobies wondering if he wore tweed diapers as an infant.
* Lampshaded on ''[[The Nanny]]''. Niles the butler usually wears a suit and tie, which is always more or less then same from one episode to the next. So when Fran snuck a peek into Niles' closet, she discovered that Niles had several dozen duplicates of the same outfit.
* ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]'' lampshades it in "Stranger And Stranger" where Hercules visits the show's [[Mirror Universe]] and finds his [[Evil Twin]]'s clothing rack, full of identical outfits.
