* Ditto for Jack Knight as [[Starman (comics)|Starman]], whose costume is something he ''literally'' pieced together in a few minutes from things he hadn't sold in his secondhand shop.

* [[X-Men|Jubilee]] before she got depowered. Her costumes were probably inspired by the anime look, but she's the comic book example that jumps out as having WAY too many accessories. Her most infamous attire is a bright yellow trench-coat, huge ''hot pink'' wrap around glasses, and what looks like giant dishwashing gloves, and this was worn over shorts and a red shirt. Of course given that she debuted in [[The Eighties]]... [[Word of God]] is that the outfit was deliberately designed to look like a Robin (of ''[[Batman]]'' fame) costume made out of actual clothing.

* Also from the ''[[X-Men]]'', Sprite (as Shadowcat was originally known) briefly had a home-made costume. Intended to look like something a young teenager in [[The Eighties]] would think was cool, it was [http://girl-wonder.org/dimestoredames/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/kitty-1.jpg a gold lamé monstrosity with legwarmers and rollerskates].

* Subverted with Manhunter, whose costume was assembled from whatever super-weapons she could grab from the evidence room. It looks [[Badass]].

* Done intentionally with the Freedom Fighters in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', who are noted in the artbook to be wearing random piece of clothes they scavenged and pieces of armor they stole.

* In ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|The New Batman Adventures]]'', [[The Creeper]] literally bought his costume (a speedo, boots, gloves, and a giant cape-like red boa) at a thrift store in Gotham.

* [[Lady Gaga]], often intersecting with [[WTH Costuming Department]]. At this point the most shocking thing she could do would be to wear a t-shirt and jeans in public.

** If she did, [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|no one would recognize her.]]

* Admit it, you know someone like this.

** If you don't know a person like this, then you are that person.
