When people are engaged in [[Time Travel]], they will very frequently be wearing clothing that is inappropriate or out of fashion for the time period. After the obligatory initial comments about the time traveler being dressed "very strangely", the locals will all, in effect, [[Weirdness Censor|shrug and move on]], and however bizarre or inappropriate the clothing may be by their standards, they will rarely mention it again. An [[Improbable Hairstyle]] doesn't faze the peasants, either. Occasionally caused by [[Limited Wardrobe]]. Of course, in some cases, it's not a problem because [[Fashions Never Change]].

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Kagome from ''[[Inuyasha]]'' wears an extremely short skirt in feudal Japan. Near the beginning, a man comments that "Her kimono is shorter than mine" while fingering her skirt. After this, though, aside from a rare passing comment about "strange clothes", no one she meets is ever really surprised by her modern clothes and hair.

* On the rare time-travels of Milligan's ''[[Shade the Changing Man]]'', it was easily [[Handwaved]] by Shade only appearing to personalities known to stay under the influence of substances, sometimes including hallucinogens. In one unique aversion, all of Hotel Shade and everything inside reverted gradually to earlier analogues and fashions, until they finally arrived in colonial Salem. Constantine mused on the fit of various underwear through history.
* A comic special (Mandy?) featured a girl who sat in an a coach in a museum being transported back to the same coach in the Victorian Era. Once she explained that it was normal to wear mini skirts back home everyone accepted hers. Also pointing out that back home many secretaries were women was sufficient to get her the job.
