Line 284:
** Castiel has been wearing the same outfit since his introduction in Season 4.
** All the angels are like this. But then it's doubtful angels care much about fashion trends.
** ''All'' hunters tend to favor a somewhat "blue-collar" style of dress. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130715075000/http://www.beyondhollywood.com/tv/alona-tal-to-guest-star-in-this-weeks-supernatural/ It involves lots of jeans and cotton], presumably because they're cheap, generic, and don't stand out in most settings. Crowley even refers to our heroes as "denim-wrapped nightmares".
* ''[[Trailer Park Boys]]'': Julian never wears anything other than a black t-shirt, black jeans, and an earring and choker. Ricky changes clothes literally once per series.
** Lahey and Randy usually wear the same uniform in every episode, and Barb usually wears her denim-and-cowboy boots outfit.
Line 359:
* ''[[Thousand Arms]]'' had quite a bit of [[Lampshade Hanging]] of this trope. For example, one question in the [[Dating Sim]] portion of the game had an answer of "I've been wearing the same clothes the whole game!"
* Humorously lampshaded in the first ''[[Gabriel Knight]]'' game: Gabe's character was designed to wear a bitchin' leather trenchcoat, which he wears whenever he goes outside. Not a problem, except it's June. In ''New Orleans''. Per his assistant Grace: "I wish you wouldn't wear that coat in June. I can smell you from here."
* Characters in ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' keep one outfit throughout the game (with the exception of lord class changes), this is justified with characters who are wearing armor and other uniforms (and the Greil mercenaries are implied not to be able to afford any more), but defectors still wear the colors of the enemy after they join you, but there is really no reason for Ilyana to change only a cape over a [https://web.archive.org/web/20111109005446/http://serenesforest.net/media/fe9illust/s/Ilyana.jpg four-year] [https://web.archive.org/web/20111109005602/http://serenesforest.net/media/fe10illust/e/ilyana_en.png period].
** Even worse with Sothe, who after growing a foot and a half and becoming lead [[Mr. Fanservice]] over that time period, is ''still'' wearing that tattered [[Scarf of Asskicking|ascot,]] and for some reason still wears the same size shirt he did three years ago.
* Most of the playable characters in the ''[[Sly Cooper]]'' games have this; having outfits that change very little between games.
Line 438:
*** ''[[Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island]]'' took more than a few shots at [[Lampshade Hanging]] this, including Shaggy (who had the same outfit as always) opening a suitcase full of green shirts and then pondering what to wear and Fred (who had a new outfit for the movie) secretly posing in a mirror with his old scarf before discarding it in disgust.
** Used humorously in a [[Cartoon Network]] promo, where Mystery Inc. is waiting for someone in the van. It's Velma, barefoot, shuffling through drawers of socks trying to find orange colored ones.
** Subverted in ''Scooby Doo: The Mystery Begins'', the newest version of the [[Origin Story]], where everyone wears things that would be consistent with their role in a modern-day high school. [http://www.scoobyaddicts.com/Images/SDMysteryBegins.jpg See] [http://www.comicbooknews.us/IMGs/dccomics/Mystery%20Inc-green.jpg for]{{Dead link}} [http://www.dianechristiansen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/gang2.jpg your][http://tvmedia.ign.com/tv/image/article/102/1021013/scooby-doo-the-mystery-begins-20090902014732070_640w.jpg self.]
* ''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series]]'' had an excuse since its characters all wore uniforms, but being a [[Filmation]] product, it still needed to cut corners further—Uhura's earrings never changed, and at least one ''Trek'' professional has complained about it.
** They also created force-field belts for this purpose, so that they could only slightly modify stock footage for those scenes, instead of having to animate the crew in the full spacesuits (which themselves only appeared in live-action once before [[Star Trek: The Motion Picture|The Motion Picture]]).
Line 566:
* [[The Cape (trope)|Cain Blueriver]] from ''[[Lost Universe]]'' had a literal closet with dozens of those capes of his, which he frequented after [[Clothing Damage|his escapades]].
* L from ''[[Death Note]]'' [http://i39.tinypic.com/o6i6qg.jpg really does have][http://i40.tinypic.com/2ennnk5.jpg a million of the same outfit.] During his time in the series {{spoiler|other than the flashbacks to his childhood}}, he pretty much never wore anything else. including while pretending to be a paramedic. {{spoiler|He's still wearing that outfit even as a ghost. Yep.}}
* In ''[[Kaze no Stigma]]'', Ayano wears her school uniform all the time, even when she spends the day out of school. In episode 13, she takes her time choosing between [http://fabien.li/tvtropes/KazeNoStigma.jpg three identical outfits]{{Dead link}}.
** Also, Kazuma only owns one outfit.
* Ruby of ''[[Pokémon Special]]'' has been shown to have multiple identical outfits, including multiple versions of his [[Nice Hat]].
Line 579:
** Also Inverted in that series when Billy discovers that, by concentrating on what he wants to look like as he says the magic word, he can transform into Captain Marvel in just about any clothing he likes—and he can change the length of Cap's hair and add a beard and/or moustache if he wants to. So the hero who would be expected to be in the same uniform all the time can vary his appearance (though somehow, there's generally red involved, particularly in terms of shirts, jackets, etc.) while the "secret identity", who can simply change his clothes, always wears the same thing...
* ''[[Little Orphan Annie]]'': The question of whether Annie had only one red dress was lampshaded in a strip that showed Annie hanging a large number of nearly-identical dresses (some with short sleeves, some with long) out to dry. Possibly one of the earliest uses of the closet gag.
* All the main characters in Brazilian comic ''[[Monica's Gang]]'' ([https://web.archive.org/web/20071016082847/http://www.monica.com.br/mauricio/cronicas/images/cron206.gif this image of the protagonist] sums it up).
* In classic ''[[Superman]]'' comics, Clark Kent always wears a blue suit, white shirt, and red tie.
** This was actually explained once: When he changes to Superman, Clark compresses his street clothes into a flat packet which he carries in a pouch in his cape. To prevent them becoming wrinkled, he has to treat them with a special chemical which has the side effect of dyeing everything red, white, or blue...
