[[Limited Wardrobe]] taken to its logical extreme. This is when a character flashes back to their childhood (or even just their "younger days"), or the program shows a scene from the character's future, and they're wearing the exact same (or almost exact) style of clothes that they wear in the present.

Often applies to hairstyle too, but may overlap with [[Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow]].

Line 13 ⟶ 15:
** A flashback shows that White wore a dress as a child, though this is probably due to the fact that she was attending a musical at that particular moment.
* Maya in ''[[Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin]]'' has apparently had the exact same white dress ever since she was a kid. If it wasn't for the fact that the titular school required her to wear its uniform, she probably wouldn't wear anything else.
* [[Yu-Gi-Oh!
* In ''[[Soul Eater]]'', Stein and Spirit had similar clothing in their youth as they do in the present. Their [[Chuck Huber|dub]] [[Vic Mignogna|actors]] provide the page quote.
== Film ==
* The movie ''[[Cloudy
* In ''[[Half Baked]]'', when Thurgood has a [[Flash Back]] to the first time he and his friends got high (many years ago), they are all dressed in the same style as in the present day.
* The [[Flash Back]] opening of ''[[Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back]]'' features an infant Jay and an infant Silent Bob who are both dressed in baby-versions of their usual wardrobes.

* Peter from [[FoxTrot]] got this twice, due to his having the unchanging outfit of the cast. An example most in line with this trope was when Andy and Roger were sorting baby photos and Peter was wearing his usual hat even then. A similar take has Jason wearing Peter's clothes from fifth grade, which are exactly the same as his current clothes.

* [[Kingdom Hearts]] has Sora notice in the sequel that his clothes have shrunk. {{spoiler|Actually, he's grown, having slept a year.}} He gets new duds, though.

Line 46 ⟶ 48:
* When the 9-year-olds on ''[[South Park]]'' flashback to when they were 4, they're wearing the same style parkas.
** Also invoked in the episode "My Future Self 'n' Me," where actors are hired to portray older versions of kids, usually wearing the same kind of clothes.
* The cast of ''[[A Pup Named Scooby
* ''[[The Flintstone Kids]]'': They stayed together as kids, they remaind friends as adults ... and all through the years the main
* Not only did Dexter from ''[[
* Subverted in ''[[Totally Spies!]]'': When [[Cool Old Guy|Jerry]] was younger, he wore loud shirts and a [[Funny Afro|ginormous afro]], whereas these days he's always in a suit.
* During the song "Little Brothers" from ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'', Candace flashes back to her younger days and is wearing the exact same outfit, as do her parents. Phineas and Ferb themselves are more subtle: when shown as babies both wear overalls the same color as the pants they wear in the present (blue for Phineas, purple for Ferb). Both wear plain white shirts, though, while Phineas' present shirt has orange stripes.
* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' episode "Maternal Instincts" shows a picture of younger Danny wearing the exact same clothes as his present self, only with shorter pants. However, this is completely subverted in the [[Christmas Episode]] where he gets a number of different outfits (Jazz, however has a slightly altered outfit version of her current counterpart's wear).
* In the third ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' film, the garbage man featured is actually Sid Phillips, the main villain of the first ''Toy Story'' film (you can easily tell that it's him because of the skull on his shirt).
* In the 2001 animated Disney movie ''[[Atlantis:
* {{spoiler|Cornelius "Lewis" Robinson}}'s future self is actually revealed to be wearing the exact same outfit as his younger self near the end of ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]''.
* [[Doug]] wore the exact same thing he does now when he was a little kid.
