Line 146:
* Father Garai from ''[[MW]]'' is almost always seen wearing an outfit as a priest.
* While most of the characters in ''[[Death Note]]'' have realistic wardrobes (except [[Fashion Victim Villain|Mello]] and [[The Fashionista|Misa]]), L is ''always'' seen wearing the same baggy white shirt and blue jeans ([[Does Not Like Shoes|no shoes]]). Though in this case, it's [[Justified Trope|Justified]]: L is an ''extremely'' messy and neurotic person. It makes perfect sense that he wouldn't ever bother to by more than one outfit, or even change/clean said outfit often.
* ''[[Kodomo no Jikan]]'' uses both this and [[Unlimited Wardrobe]], depending on the character.
 
 
Line 169:
* [[The Tick (animation)]]. Sometimes he wears clothes over his blue (outfit? body?), such as a tuxedo at Dot and Neil's wedding, but he never takes it off. Possibly a [[Clingy Costume]].
** He seems to think it is. He's said at least once that it's not a costume, and he is "simply The Tick."
* From the ''[[Shazam]]'' comics Billy Batson, the original Captain Marvel, is one of the few mainstream superheroes who embodies this trope in his secret identity. From the Golden Age through to the 21st century, Billy is almost always depicted as wearing the same blue jeans and red sweater with a yellow collar. (At least he stopped wearing the saddle shoes after a while!)
* In issue 85 of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' comic, a pair of marketing experts decide that the Simpsons are the perfect indicator of popular culture, and model all of their company's products- including clothes- after their lifestyle. Cut to everyone in Springfield dressed like the Simpsons. After everything returns to normal, Marge reveals that she bought all of the duplicates of their normal wear. in the final panel, a small box with a Matt Groening pops up and Groening says, "And ''that's'' why the Simpsons always wear the same clothes!"
* [[Steelgrip Starkey And The All-Purpose Power Tool]] and his partner Flynn "Flyin'" Ryan almost always wear the same clothes—a red short-sleeve shirt and blue jeans for Steelgrip, and overalls and a white T-shirt for Flynn. Justified in Steelgrip's case because it's his company uniform.
* In ''[[The Beano]]'' pretty much every character wears the same clothes all the times however their clothes have occassionallyoccasionally changed for example ''[[Dennis the Menace (UK comic strip)||Dennis the Menace]]'' originally had a little tie back in 1951 but his clothes change to a stripy jumper and then to a Black and Red Jumper, once his strip gained the colour red, and his clothes have never changed since except for the occassionaloccasional gag about how old fashioned his clothes are. This also true for a number of strips especially The Bash Street Kids where Teacher was worn an old fashioned Teacher's outfit completer with mortarboard since the 1950s which is frequently [[Lampshaded]].
 
 
Line 191:
* The ''[[Mystery Team]]'' seems to have a complete color-coded wardrobe.
* In ''[[The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus]]'', [[Louis Cypher|Mr. Nick]] always wears the same outfit (black suit, overcoat, and bowler, grey waistcoat, red bow tie), even in a flashback to his first meeting with Doctor Parnassus a thousand years in the past.
* ''[[Up in the Air]]'': Natalie only ever wears her business suit although there is a more relaxed version where she takes the jacket off and lets her hair down while partying. This is [[Truth in Television]] since she is fresh out of college and new to business. Presumably she wouldn't be able to afford several smart pieces of work attire yet.
