== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Batman Forever (Film)|Batman Forever]]'' features an experimental "fireproof" batsuit.
* The latest ''[[Star Trek (Filmfilm)|Star Trek]]'' has the cold weather gear.
* Used as a joke in ''[[Zoolander]]''. When male model Derek Zoolander moves back to coal mining country to reconnect with his family, he goes to work in the coal mines wearing specially-tailored, color-coordinated work clothes and a shiny new helmet.

* Astronaut [[Barbie]] has [http://ris.fashion.telegraph.co.uk/RichImageService.svc/imagecontent/1/TMG4269658/p/1986Astronaut_1240305a.jpg a pink and gold] spacesuit.
* Half of all [[Batman]] toys consist of environment or mission specific costumes, like [http://www.amazon.co.uk/BATMAN-FOREVER-ICE-BLADE-FIGURE/dp/B002K89HJK this one] or [http://uk.shopping.com/xPO-Action-Batman-Forever-Fireguard-Batman-Action-Figure this one] from ''[[Batman Forever (Film)|Batman Forever]]''.

* Picture comes from ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]''. Amidala's suit does seem like it could work on [[Single Biome Planet|an ice planet]], but what makes it this trope is the short, but voluminous [[Pretty in Mink|fur-trimmed]] [[Pimped-Out Cape]], with the two furry puff balls (an accessory that is strictly for fashion, not utility).
** It does get use as a decoy for droid fire though, [[Impossibly Cool Clothes|and doesn't even get singed]].
* ''[[The Batman (Animation)|The Batman]]'' does this on occasion. In Mr. Freeze's debut episode, Batman breaks out a white and blue thermally protected suit.
* ''[[Goldie Gold and Action Jack]]'', Goldie's ermine trimmed parka for going out in the cold.
* In the ''[[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Teen Titans]]'' episode "Snowblind", and others where it's cold, Raven wears a fur-trimmed cape and tights. See [http://i48.tinypic.com/33cuckn.jpg here], [http://i48.tinypic.com/2l8zs7o.jpg here], [http://i46.tinypic.com/33wruvl.jpg here], and [http://i45.tinypic.com/5jv2gm.jpg here].
** As said pictures demonstrate, Robin and Beast Boy also swap out for a more winterized version of their usual outfits, albeit more subtly. As for Cyborg, "stylish" depends on what you think of him looking like an angry Michelin Man.
** Starfire, notably, averts this with the justification that her kind is far more tolerant to extreme cold.
* ''[[The Secret Saturdays]]'' have matching arctic survival outfits. What really cements their spot in this trope, however, is that this includes one for their pet Komodo dragon. With a furry bobble on the tail.
* The fur-trimmed, but still pretty, outfits worn in the mountains in ''[[Princess Gwenevere and Thethe Jewel Riders]]''.
* In ''[[Conan the Adventurer]]'', the entire cast got special outfits when they traveled north or into the mountains.
* ''[[The Perils of Penelope Pitstop]]'' gives the heroine this whenever she needs it.
* The team in ''[[The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest]]'' gets cool-looking stuff like swim gear and parkas. Notably, Jessie [[Pink Means Feminine|gets the pink colored outfits]].
* The Team's polar stealth outfits in ''[[Young Justice (Animationanimation)|Young Justice]]''. While Robin, Artemis and {{spoiler|Zatanna}} are bundled up, the rest of the team just have recolored outfits.
* [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Rarity]] often eschews drab camouflage for more [[Comically Missing the Point|scintillating colors]].
