Limited Wardrobe: Difference between revisions

* The various ''[[Zoids]]'' anime are particularly grievous examples. In all four seasons, most of the characters have one or two outfits each, their "day" wear and what they wear when driving their Zoid - and even then, the latter seems optional. The only time a character will wear something else is if the plot needs it.

* The [[Royal Blood|royalty]] and [[Blue Blood|nobility]] of ''[[Le Chevalier d'Eon]]'', even thought their few clothes are still [[Pimped-Out Dress|Pimped Out Dresses]].

** Justified in that they're {{spoiler|just animated dolls}}.

* Just about every character in ''[[Soul Eater]]'' has a trademark outfit, and with recent chapters, sometimes even two or more.

* Nami from ''[[One Piece]]'' originally starts off with wearing the same clothes, but after {{spoiler|defeating Arlong, and thus ending her financial limitations}} she buys a pile of new clothes, and changes very often. Sanji, while mostly wearing his usual black suit, can be seen occasionally in more casual clothes.

** After the Strawhats hit the Grand Line, they usually get a new outfit early in the arc for reasons that make sense, and then maintain that look whether it makes sense or not until after they beat that island's [[Big Bad]]. You can tell the arc is over because they all change back.

** And in its sister series ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' while the characters each have a set of default clothing, they generally adopt the clothing of whatever world they land in, and then change outfits as appropriate. This is partly a form of [[Fan Service]] for CLAMP's female fanbase. Note, however, that this is NOT [[Unlimited Wardrobe]] as they are shown bartering old clothes for new and they do not change clothes in situations where they would not realistically have had the opportunity. (Example: Kurogane remains in his outfit from the previous arc in Acid Tokyo, because their impoverished hosts don't have much clothing to spare.)

* ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' subverts this trope as much as it uses it. The guys mentioned above generally wear different outfits when not in their fighting clothes (such as the infamous pink shirt worn by Vegeta). Then there's Bulma. Not only does she change clothes, but she also changes ''hairstyles'' more or less every appearance. In addition, the symbol on Goku's shirt usually changes every time he gets a new outfit.
