[[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 41:

* ''[[Something
* Lampshaded in ''[[Concerned]]'', where Gordon is seen wearing the default male jumpsuit of the second game in his flashback during the time of the original ''[[Half-Life (series)|Half-Life]]''. He quips that he expects it to to become fashionable.
Line 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 foursome—10-year-olds Fred, Wilma, Barney and Betty—wear the same outfits as as adults. Fred in his orange and black diamond-spotted shirt with blue tie, Barney in his dark brown pullover, Wilma in her white dress with pearls and bow-tied Betty in her light blue dress.
* Not only did Dexter from ''[[Dexter's Laboratory|Dexters Laboratory]]'' have an entire wardrobe filled with black boots, lab coats and purple gloves, it was shown in the Made-for-TV-Movie original series finale ''Ego Trip'' that he would continue to wear this attire for the rest of his life.
* 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: The Lost Empire]]'', the outfit Kida wore as an adult is actually a [[Stripperific]] version of the very same outfit she wore as a little girl at the very beginning of the film. Averted at the end, however, where she actually ended up wearing a long, flowing dress (as [[The High Queen|a queen,]] she is not allowed to wear skimpy clothing), which is colored like her princess outfit, but with the color arrangments reversed (the bodice and train is now colored light blue instead of dark blue with pink and gold stripes like her sarong, and vice versa for the sash, which was originally the same color as her bikini).
* {{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]]''.
