For characters [[Trapped in Another World]], having this is not just a case of having a [[Limited Wardrobe]], but to remind the audience that this character is not native. Naturally adopting local clothing is a sign of [[Going Native]]. A younger version of [[Still Wearing the Old Colors]].

Line 26:
* Subverted? by Aoba from ''[[Code Breaker|Code:Breaker]]'' because she changes into her new Hesei high school uniform even before she starts attending class.
* Subverted by Ranma from ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma 1/2]]'' who, despite the pressure of a rules-specific principal, gets into more trouble from his haircut than for not wearing a uniform. This may have something to do with how [[Limited Wardrobe|iconic]] his usual outfit is.
** Note that [[Ranma One Half|Ranma]] is ''the only character in the series'' to never, ''ever'', wear a school uniform, unless it's the female kind in order to pull a prank on Ryoga or fool Kuno for some obscure purpose --in which case, it's always treated as a [[Wig, Dress, Accent]] [[Paper
** Ukyo from the same series generally wears her previous school's boy's uniform while attending Furinkan High, despite being "outed" as a girl in her first appearance. She occasionally wears a girl's uniform in the anime (beginning with a spotlight episode where she deliberately attempts to femininize her image) but was never shown wearing a girl's uniform in the manga (except for gym).
* Subverted again by Yuuri in ''[[Kyou Kara Maou]]''. While initially [[Trapped in Another World]] unexpectedly, on a subsequent visit he's wearing normal casual clothes... but his advisors comment his uniform looks so spiffy they tailored up a perfect replica for him to wear as his royal outfit.
Line 56:
* In ''[[Rushmore]]'' Max Fischer continues to wear the Rushmore uniform when he goes to a public school
* Frank in ''[[Catch Me If You Can]]'' wears his old public school uniform to his first day of regular American high school and manages to persuade a bunch of students by the way he was dressed that he was actually the teacher.
* [[Charlie Bartlett]] wears his private school uniform at his first day at public school. After the first day, he still wears his uniform jacket but with a [[Fun T
Line 75:
* On arrival at his snooty new private school in ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel Air|Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'', Will the wannabe individualist immediately turns his uniform jacket inside-out (revealing he'd had it modified into a reversable jacket) and wears it that way for the rest of the series.
** He also wears his tie as a headband the first day, because the rules say he has to wear it but not ''where''.
* The [[Live Action Adaptation]] (and indeed any other version) of ''[[The Demon Headmaster]]'' has this in the first episode, with the Headmaster and several students pointing it out (and the Headmaster explicitly stating disapproval). The regular green uniform is the only one seen for the rest of the series (although none of the [[Five
* On [[Summer Heights High]], transfer student Ja'mie has come from one of the most expensive private schools in Victoria. She's being shown around the school, but insists on wearing her Hillford School uniform and brags to the principal about how much nicer they are.
* Claire in ''[[Degrassi]]'' wasn't a transfer student - she was introduced as a new freshman - but she wore her old Catholic school uniform for some months before finally adopting street clothes. Alli [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades this]] when Degrassi itself implements uniforms some time later.
