History LimitedWardrobe / AnimeAndManga

* Naturally absent in shoujo shows which emphasize fashion, like ''Manga/MarmaladeBoy'', ''Manga/GokinjoMonogatari'', ''Manga/DearBrother'' and ''Manga/ParadiseKiss''.

* ''Anime/AbunaiSisters'': Although the sisters often talk about fashion, they're always seen in the same outfit, presumably because the show's budget didn't allow for the creation of models of them wearing different outfits. This means that FailureIsTheOnlyOption whenever they want to go for a swim, as there is no model of them in swimwear. Despite this, this is {{averted|trope}} for the villains, who often don different outfits to disguise themselves.

* While most of the characters in ''Manga/DeathNote'' have realistic wardrobes (except [[FashionVictimVillain Mello]] and [[TheFashionista Misa]]), L is ''always'' seen wearing the same baggy white shirt and blue jeans ([[DoesNotLikeShoes no shoes]]).

* ''Manga/GirlFriends'': The main characters mainly wear the variants of their school uniforms, but whenever we see them outside of school they almost never wear the same thing twice. Indeed their frequent shopping trips amount to CostumePorn.

** Goku has 20 (or more) outfits total, not counting identical replacements for ClothingDamage. In order of appearance (roughly): 1. a blue ''gi'' with a white ''obi'', 2. a pair of overalls borrowed from Oolong, 3. a blue pair of pants with a white tank top and ''obi'', 4. his first Turtle School orange ''gi'', 5. the suit he wears to and from the 21st and 22nd World Tournaments, 6. the outfit he borrowed from Suno when he fought the Red Ribbon Army in the north, 7. the outfit he took from the ninja dog Shu after his ''gi'' was destroyed, 8. the outfit he wore before the 23rd World Tournament, with the turban, 9. his adult-sized orange ''gi'' with the weighted black T-shirt and Kami's emblem on the back,, 10. the suit he wore for his wedding, 11. the ''gi'' with the blue T-shirt that he started wearing before fighting Raditz, 12. the ''gi'' with King Kai's emblem on the back, 13. the closet full of ''gi'' that he gets for the trip to Namek which have his name on them, 14. the Yardrat battle armor he wears when he returns to Earth before the Android Saga, 15. the ''gi'' he wears from then on that has no emblem on either the front or the back and has a wider blue sash instead of the black ''obi'', 16. the Saiyan battle armor he wears for training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, 17. the slacks/button-front shirt/leather jacket combo he wears before the Cell Games, 18. the blue ''gi'' with a white ''obi'' and dark blue pants he wears before he leaves to train Uub. 19. the slacks/button-front shirt outfit he wears to visit Gohan's school in the first Broly movie, and 20. the plaid suit he wears with the bow tie in ''Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!''. Not counting the outfits he got when fused into Vegitto and Gogeta, or ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', or in [[CanonDiscontinuity GT]]. And that's just Goku; Gohan, Yamcha, Krillin, Tien, Launch, Master Roshi, Vegeta, Trunks, Videl, and Chichi got several outfits each. And yet, when people think of him, they only think of that last orange ''gi'' with no emblems.

* In the anime version of ''LightNovel/GirlishNumber'' everyone wears the same casual outfit day in and day out, with only the occasional exception.

* ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'': Saito wears his jersey almost all the 3 seasons. In the novels, it is constantly [[ClothingDamage damaged]] and someone (usually Louise) tries to mend it.

* A lot of characters in ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' are wearing a school uniform or a nun's habit. It is only rarely that we see them in casual clothes. Tokiwadai Middile School in particular insists their students wear the uniform at all times. Then there are people like Kanzaki and Styl who have a ... unique outfit they always seem to wear.

* In ''{{LightNovel/Durarara}}'' Shizuo Heiwajima is always seen in his bartender uniforms even though he no longer works as a bartender. His brother Kasuka gave him boxes and boxes and ''boxes'' of uniforms when he did work as a bartender. And Shizuo pretty much adores his kid brother.

* In ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'', [[UnlimitedWardrobe unlike the other]] characters, [[TheStoic Yuki Nagato]] constantly wears her North High uniform, even on weekends when the Brigade searches the city for mysterious events. The BeachEpisode "Remote Island Syndrome" is the only time she's seen in casual clothing.

* ''Manga/InuYasha'''s Kagome is almost constantly in her school uniform, and in one of the movie serials is actually presented with the outfit by her mother so she can change ''into'' it before going to the past. This made sense initially as she fell into the well on the way to school and was stuck in the feudal era without a change of clothes (and was initially averted as on the second trip there she had different clothes). [[CostumeInertia Afterward this was entirely for the sake of recognition]] as while she wears casual clothes when she is in the present outside of school, she wears the uniform exclusively when in the past despite the impracticality of hiking for miles in a skirt and school shoes. WordOfGod states that Kagome prefers to wear her school uniform when she travels to the past because it's durable and ''it's easy to wash the blood out of it''. Think about that. (One assumes she bleaches that white blouse a lot.)

* While Lina Inverse of ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' has a multitude of sorceress outfits (and variations of her most well-known one in the novels), her TrueCompanions, and the rest of the characters for that matter, have either one or two outfits in their entire repertoire. The princess Amelia even wears the same [[PrincessesPreferPink frilly pink dress]] and accessories every single time she's performing a diplomatic duty.

* In ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'', Akira is never shown wearing anything but a tank top and jeans and his protective gear. He doesn't have any other clothes due to lacking the funds for it and investing all of his money into shelter and hunter equipment.

* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'''s Shizuo Heiwajima really ''does'' have a closet full of identical [[WaistcoatOfStyle bartender waistcoats]]. They were a gift from his brother.

* In ''LightNovel/KazeNoStigma'', Ayano wears her school uniform all the time, even when she spends the day out of school. In episode 13, she takes her time choosing between three identical outfits.

* Wilhelmina Carmel from ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'' wears a maid outfit at all times. The third season shows her getting several identical copies of that outfit out of her closet.

* In ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'', when not at school and thus in uniform, all the characters are shown in casual outfits that change from episode to episode (and within an episode, if it spans more than a day).

* ''Everyone'' in ''LightNovel/VioletEvergarden'' has a limited wardrobe. Both in the anime and the Light Novel. The anime shows Violet wearing a good number of different outfits in episodes 1, 2, and 8 (which is largely a flashback to before episode 1), but after she becomes an Auto-Memories Doll, she only wears her iconic white dress and Prussian blue jacket. Hodgins and Iris are both shown wearing an alternative outfit on one occasion each (Hodgins in episode 8 during the flashbacks, and Iris in episode 4).

* Holo and Lawrence from ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf''. Holo changes outfits after her original one is destroyed in the first arc; there is in fact an entire episode about them buying new clothes for her. From then on, she always wears the dark pants/violet blouse combo underneath. On top of it, she wears a [[InTheHood hooded]] [[BadHabits cloak]] while traveling, but ties the cloak around her waist and puts on a hat and a shoulder cape when in towns. Lawrence has only one outfit, though he takes off his jacket indoors.

* As noted above, Ruby of ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' has been shown to have multiple identical outfits, including multiple versions of his NiceHat.

* A lot of characters in ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' are wearing a school uniform or a nun's habit. It is only rarely that we see them in casual clothes. Tokiwada in particular insists their students wear the uniform at all times. Then there are people like Kanzaki and Styl who have a ... unique outfit they always seem to wear.

* n ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'', Akira is never shown wearing anything but a tank top and jeans and his protective gear. He doesn't have any other clothes due to lacking the funds for it and investing all of his money into shelter and hunter equipment.

** Then again, since Conan was originally Shinichi, it could be that his old school uniform was the only outfit he still owned from back then, and some parts of them [[spoiler: are actually devices to help him as a detective.]]

* A lot of characters in ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' are wearing a school uniform or a nuns habit. It is only rarely that we see them in casual clothes. Tokiwada in particular insists their students wear the uniform at all times. Then there are people like Kanzaki and Styl who have a ... unique outfit they always seem to wear.

** Lelouch is almost always seen wearing his Ashford Academy school uniform even when it makes him stick out like a sore thumb like in a war torn ghetto or the Britannia royal court. This has lead to him being nicknamed the schoolboy by soldiers that see him enter and exit the area when he is not dressed as Zero.
** Subverted though by Suzaku who has several outfits like a military uniform, battle suit, formal wear, street clothing and of course his own school uniform.

* Every ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' character has a trademark outfit. In ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' and ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'', this made sense, because they were TrappedInAnotherWorld (although they didn't bother to change after they came back). ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' immediately zapped them back to the outfits they wore in the first episode every time they entered the Digital World, and ''Anime/DigimonDataSquad'' was a CopShow, so they were technically in uniform, although their civilian clothes are always the same and halfway though the season, when they ditch they uniform our to becoming fugitives, they always wear the same civilian clothes, which are different than in the first half. ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' is the least likely to happen in real life; except for Ruki, the kids attend a no-uniform school, yet they wear the same thing every day. Ruki is the only exception; besides her regular "broken heart" outfit, she also has a school uniform, [[spoiler:and once she repairs her relationship with her mother, the broken heart is replaced by a new and otherwise identical "healed heart" shirt.]]

*** Averted in the case of Bulma, who usually not only had a different outfit whenever possible, but usually changed her ''hair'' just as often.

*** Piccolo notably has only averted this twice. First in the [[Manga/DragonBall original series]] as a kid he wore a Hanfu-style dark blue top (similar to Gohan’s first outfit) emblemed with “魔” aka “Demon” kanji before changing into to his iconic purple gi and white cape and turban for the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. The second time was in DBZ {{Filler}} where Chi-Chi gave him some Goku’s casual clothes which hilariously consisted of a [[FashionDissonance yellow top, purple long sleeve shirt, blue jeans, sneakers and backwards cap]] making Piccolo look like he should be starring in ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir''

* The characters of ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' have one favorite outfit each, and almost never change out of them. It's particularly glaring with Eureka, because her character design changes a bit throughout the series, but she's almost always seen in her blue mini dress, sometimes plus a hat. Even when it gets ruined or torn up, she produces a new one out of nowhere. Anemone we see in three outfits: her signature ridiculously-shaped red dress, the skin-tight suit she wears to pilot [[HumongousMecha theEND]], and a fancier dress she wears to a ball. Talho upgrades to a new wardrobe about half way in, but otherwise plays it straight. The only one who really seems to avoid this is Dominic, who wears different outfits according to what his rank is at the time. It gets particularly weird when characters are shown doing laundry.

** Arguably, this was more of a budgetary concern than a stylistic one (at least as far as the anime was concerned). While the First Stage's characters wore uniforms of sorts, they did reflect the kind of clothing that was popular with Japanese youth in the early to mid 90s. Although Ryouske's Miami Vice-esque white structured sports coat and white loafers always seemed a bit exaggerated. From the Second Stage onwards, all the characters, even secondary characters in rival teams, have a changing wardrobe which also reflects Japanese fashion amongst tuners and auto enthusiasts. The anime production teams apparently put quite a bit of effort into making the people in the galleries as well as the racers look authentic.

* ''Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple'': Played straight with Ryozanpaku masters and ''most'' Yami masters. (Which clearly underlines their being badasses.) A notable exception to this was when the Ryozanpaku masters put on some normal civilian clothes when pretending to be Miu's relatives so that they could attend Miu's SchoolPlay performance. On the other hand, this trope is averted with ''most'' of the teenage characters, if not for any other reason then for the fact that they must have some normal outfit when attending school. Kenichi didn't even have a field battle outfit until the chapter 145.

** It is in fact the case that Lupin has several copies of each suit. Also, there are two different colour schemes for the suit, sans the jacket. Yellow tie with black shirt and black or navy blue pants, or pink tie with blue shirt and white pants. In some of the films he wears a blue jacket. As for Fujiko, she not only dyes or undyes her hair, but also evidently makes use of [[BreastExpansion breast implants]] on occasion and has them removed later.

* ''Manga/MidoriDays'' for the most part has Seiji wearing his high school outfit during school and several different kinds of clothes outside school, with other characters having various sets of clothing to wear as well excluding Midori who, for practical purposes, wears a series of handmade dresses out of white fabric. In one instance during the anime during an episode not portrayed in the manga, Midori wakes up to find her and Seiji have switched places, her being the body and him being the hand, and she is seen wearing the same outfit and pajamas several days in a row despite her noticing Seiji's dresser had gained a large size of her wardrobe. This of course could be subverted however, as [[spoiler: it turned out to be a dream sequence]].

*** And despite appearing less than any of the other teams they have all have new outfits by their second appearance post-TimeSkip. And as a side note Kankuro's FacialMarkings change pretty much ''every'' time he reappears.

** Many of the Leaf Ninja who lost in the preliminaries of the Chunin Exams -- Ino, Tenten, Kiba, Hinata, Lee and Choji -- wear casual clothing while coming to watch. In ''Shippuden'', Sakura and Hinata do the same when they're not on missions.

*** Gendo gets to the closet gag in ''Manga/ShinjiIkariRaisingProject'', when he admits ''twice'' he only has identical outfits... Including at least one that is made specifically for summer. The second time Yui immediately sends him to buy some beach clothes.

** They do sometimes wear more practical outfits for an assassination-job, along with occasional disguises, but this is done very inconsistently. Sometimes Mireille does her work in top, miniskirt and high heels, even though she would have had plenty of time for switching to a better outfit.

** Somewhat averted in ''Sun and Moon''. Ash still wears the same outfit everyday for school and his adventures, but at home he has a variety of t-shirts and outfits for relaxing and pajamas.
* The characters from ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' only wear one outfit each (with slight variations between arcs) until their game counterparts get updated clothing. This sucks for Yellow as she is a CanonForeigner; when the Kanto gang got new threads in the FRLG chapter, she still had the same outfit. Even her fellow CF Emerald got new clothes in the ORAS chapter. It can be argued that they can't change clothes because they're out WalkingTheEarth. Which is great and all, until we see Ruby's closet, which is full of the exact same outfit he always wears. Sapphire seems to be a bizarre exception - a frilly dress as a civilized child (compared to Ruby who wore a variant of that exact same outfit), a bra and skirt made from foliage as a WildChild, the game outfits for RS, Emerald and ORAS, and her ORAS Contest outfit - but when you realize that [[UnclePennybags Platinum]] only wears variants of her outfit, the oddity is that much more noticeable.
* The anime of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', compared to the manga, has a much smaller wardrobe for the characters, and for more secondary characters like Ryoga and Mousse, changes in costume were usually reserved for special episodes. While special outfits still showed up (for example, a Chinese "Red Guard" uniform that Ranma used for fancy attire, or various forms of dress for disguising his female form), they were often used repeatedly. Ranma Saotome, himself, was almost always seen in a {{sleeve|sAreForWimps}}less Chinese shirt and bracers, undershirt and long Chinese pants in the everyday anime (with pre-curse flashbacks invariably showing him in a gi like his father), whereas manga-Ranma almost never wore the same thing twice. Part of the reason for this might have been budget issues, which actually got the anime canceled briefly (a second company picked it up after the end of season 1, hence why it ends on a RecapEpisode).

* The creators of ''Anime/SamuraiSeven'' even remarked on none of the samurai ever changed outfits, {{justif|iedTrope}}ying it by saying that they had to carry everything they owned with them. Though Katsushiro seemed to have a change between his red-riding-hood-esque purple rain coat and something a little more [[BadassLongcoat mature]] for the last episodes.

* {{Justified|Trope}} in ''Manga/TheRedRangerBecomesAnAdventurerInAnotherWorld''. Tougo arrived in Idola's world with only the clothes on his back and his transformation bracelet. He doesn't have the funds to get any new clothes, so he's always seen wearing what he had before coming to Idola's world. But the early pages showing his memories has him wear the same clothes in nearly every scene aside from one where he's wearing his school uniform over it.

* In episode 15a of ''Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}'', one of the rumors Safetytchi hears and writes down is that Necktietchi has a hundred ties that look exactly alike, so that nobody will notice he doesn't wear the same tie all the time.

** It's an unwritten rule that the lead character of ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' would have the least amount of clothing variety amongst the characters, and the rival usually has the most. To point, Yugi had around three distinctly different outfits, whilst Kaiba had the Domino high school uniform, a white variant with gold trim, the three variants of Trenchcoat, and a white business suit. In ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' it's a boarding school, but Judai only had to change jackets and pants. Manjoume/Chazz wore blue Obelisk coat, a black coat, the Society of Light coat, and in a daydream a fancy white tuxedo. Even Sho/Syrus had more since he's the only character seen wearing all three uniforms. Likewise its successor ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' with Jack and Yusei. The former, even when he was growing up in the slums, wore a hoodie jacket in his youth, which then turned into a duster coat, which then got traded out into the obligatory trenchcoat. All Yusei ever wore was his blue jacket, black shirt with red design and blue pants (the orange 'bubble' guards were only added when he got his D-wheel). Even his tracksuit was designed after it, and he even wore it to a ''gala event''.

* ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'': Saito wears his jersey almost all the 3 seasons. In the novels it is constantly [[ClothingDamage damaged]] and someone (usually Louise) tries to mend it.

* In ''Anime/FutureBoyConan'' this is dealt with in a realistic manner: Conan and Jimsy lived in very poor areas cut off from the rest of the world, so it's the only set of clothes they have. Lana was abducted, hence she has only one outfit. Once they get to Lana's hometown however, the kids get their clothes washed and change into different outfits. Conan still prefers his old clothes though.
* A weird example in ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara''. The cast seem to spend all their time wearing their combat outfits; in other words [[TwentyFourHourArmor they go around their house in full armour]] (some of them even keep their helmets on indoors, including Motonari and his 3-foot tall hat). This made sense in the games, where you only saw them in battle, but in the anime it just looks impractical and strange. The only characters who get to change are Masamune, who wears a kimono and no shoes at home as would be expected, Kojuro when gardening, and Keiji who changes outfits once for a formal occasion (but it was an awful outfit that the fans would rather forget).

* In ''Anime/KillLaKill'', Senketsu is ''literally'' the only set of clothes Ryuko owns, being an orphan who lives in abject poverty. This becomes a plot point in Episode 4, when Mako's mother does the family's laundry... including Senketsu. This forces Ryuko to go to school in her pajamas (which are too small for her anyway, since they're Mako's hand-me-downs).
* In a side story for ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', its noted that Annie Leonhart only owns her uniform and a few identical long-sleeved hoodies. Unlike the other characters that live relatively spartan lives out of necessity, her position within the Military Police Brigade offers her ample opportunity to acquire new clothing. She simply doesn't see any reason for it, finding her uniform and hoodies "sufficient". In comparison, her roommate Hitch is stated to be fashionable and regularly goes shopping with the other female soldiers in their unit.

* ''Anime/YuYuHakusho'' Hiei is the most extreme example. While the other main characters don't change outfits often, they still change at least 3 times, if not more. The girls in the show, except Yukina and Genkai, change every new day. Hiei on the other hand only has two outfits. His all black attire (sometimes with a light blue shirt, but usually either shirtless or black shirt) and one change where he's wearing a blue Chinese warrior's outfit is it, then it's back to all black.

* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' anime {{lampshade|Hanging}}s this at the beginning of one episode (quoted in the quote page) when the main character (who wears same clothes every day, occasionally yukata) reads letters from viewers. He then proceeds to rant about how much pain it is for anime studio/mangaka to come up with different outfits every episode/chapter. [[NoFourthWall So basically, the creators are just being lazy, and the characters know it too.]]

* Nami from ''Manga/OnePiece'' originally starts off with wearing the same clothes, but after [[spoiler:defeating Arlong, and thus ending her financial limitations]] she buys a pile of new clothes, and changes very often. Sanji, while mostly wearing his usual black suit, can be seen occasionally in more casual clothes.

* Though Watanuki, Domeki, and Himawari generally wear their school uniforms day after day, Yuuko of ''Manga/{{xxxHOLiC}}'' not only wears something new and incredibly elaborate every day, but sometimes changes mid-chapter. [[spoiler: In fact, it's a ''plot point'' when Yuuko wears the same outfit twice.]]
** And in its sister series ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' while the characters each have a set of default clothing, they generally adopt the clothing of whatever world they land in, and then change outfits as appropriate. This is partly a form of {{fanservice}} for CLAMP's female fanbase. Note, however, that this is NOT UnlimitedWardrobe as they are shown bartering old clothes for new and they do not change clothes in situations where they would not realistically have had the opportunity. (Example: Kurogane remains in his outfit from the previous arc in Acid Tokyo, because their impoverished hosts don't have much clothing to spare.)

* Becky, from ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'' is often wearing different outfits, while everyone else has their uniforms. She's the teacher though, and is allowed. Even though she's twelve, and some of her outfits are... [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/-153525235123.jpg odd.]]
* In ''Anime/ReadOrDie: The TV,'' Michelle, Maggie and Anita have a vast variety of outfits; some of these they create themselves using their power to control paper, and then complain that paper clothes aren't comfortable. This is in contrast to Yomiko in the ''Anime/ReadOrDie'' {{O|riginalVideoAnimation}}VA, who is a fine example of the trope, always in the same trenchcoat, skirt, blouse and vest.

* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'': Sayo (resident CuteGhostGirl) wears the same old style school uniform, however as a ghost [[JacobMarleyApparel I doubt she's got much in the way of options]]. Kotaro wears two outfits per arc, his normal gear which he always has, and an outfit for his 15-year-old disguised form (this second one changed from the mafia suit in the Festival arc, and the armored clothes in the Magic world arc). The rest of the cast has their uniforms (Negi has his suit) which they wear generally, giving a sense of this trope. They wear other outfits to provide clothed {{Fanservice}}, putting whatever Stripperific outfit they wish on the girls, and then replacing them with an equally stripperific outfit after whatever they are wearing suffers the inevitable ClothingDamage this series brings. However, in a case of actual limited wardrobe, Negi only has the one cloak, as he hasn't replaced/mended it since a fight in the latest arc which [[ClothingDamage put a large hole in it]].

* ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'': When the characters aren't wearing their school uniforms they have several casual outfits. In the anime we never see them wear the same outfit twice. In the manga Haruhi has one or two outfits that occasionally show up again, but she's from a lower middle class family so it makes sense she doesn't have a literal UnlimitedWardrobe like the rich Host Club members.

* ''Everyone'' in ''LightNovel/VioletEvergarden'' has a limited wardrobe. Both in the anime and the Light Novel. The anime shows Violet wearing a good number of different outfits in episode 1, 2 and 8 (which is largely a flashback to before episode 1), but after she becomes an Auto-Memories Doll, she only wears her iconic white dress and Prussian blue jacket. Hodgins and Iris are both shown wearing an alternative outfit on one occasion each (Hodgins in episode 8 during the flashbacks, and Iris in episode 4).
* ''Anime/ValkyriaChronicles'': In the "Selvaria's Wonderful Day Off!" OVA, we see Selvaria waking up and going to her closet and learn she doesn't own any clothes besides multiple pairs of her standard military uniform. The only reason she doesn't sleep in them is because she SleepsInTheNude.

* [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness In the earlier part]] of ''Manga/DetectiveConan'', Conan nearly exclusively wear a blue suit, a white shirt, and a red bow tie. Later he was seen with a better variety of clothes.
** Then again, since Conan was originally Shinichi, it could be that his old school uniform was the only outfit he still owned from back then, and some parts of them [[spoiler: are actually devices to help him as a detective.]]
** In portions of the manga that take place during the summer seasons, he primarily wears either a turquoise vest or red suspenders rather than his blue coat, but other than that the outfit is the same.

** ''Anime/DigimonUniverseAppMonsters'', similar to ''02'' features some seasonal change outfits, but only one per season.

** ''Anime/DigimonFusion'' initially has the same situation as ''Adventure'' and ''Frontier'' where the characters are stuck in the clothes they were wearing when they got to the Digital World, but unlike in Adventure, when they briefly return to the real world at the end of the first arc, they're wearing new clothes that they wear throughout the second arc, with the ones left in the Digital World getting new outfits too. The third arc however features significant time in the real world and yet no change in outfit between episodes.

** ''Anime/DigimonFusion'' initially has the same situation has Adventure and Frontier where the characters are stuck in the clothes they were wearing when they got to the Digital World, but unlike in Adventure, when they briefly return to the real world at the end of the first arc, they're wearing new clothes that they wear throughout the second arc, with the ones left in the Digital World getting new outfits too. The third arc however features significant time in the real world and yet no change in outfit between episodes.

* Every ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' character has a trademark outfit. In ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' and ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'', this made sense, because they were TrappedInAnotherWorld (although they didn't bother to change after they came back).

The third arc however features significant time in the real world and yet no change in outfit between episodes.

* Ash and Brock from ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' usually have one outfit per arc (except for a short time during ''Diamond & Pearl'' where they got winter clothes for a few episodes when traveling to Snowpoint City, though they've already switched back despite being at the equally frigid Lake Acuity). The female companions, however, get [[{{Fanservice}} slightly larger wardrobes]]. Serena eventually becomes the first female companion to change her outfit entirely partway through the arc (as an allusion to how the player can do the same thing in ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'')... but then ''that'' becomes her limited wardrobe.

* Played straight and averted in ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''. Played straight because Sakura is either wearing her school uniform or many times casual clothing. Averted when it comes to battles, as Tomoyo ''always has a different outfit she makes Sakura wear''.

** Lelouch is almost always seen wearing his Ashford Academy school uniform even when it makes him stick out like a sore thumb like in a war torn ghetto or the Britannia royal court. This has lead to him being nicknamed the schoolboy by solders that see him enter and exit the area when he is not dressed as Zero.

* Everyone in ''Manga/DrStone'' only has one outfit (not counting flashback sequences to TheBeforeTimes), except for their winter clothing (which can sometimes be just as ExposedToTheElements). Justified, since clothing takes a lot of time and energy to make in a stone-age world. [[FridgeLogic Though you'd think they'd have to wash their clothes sometime.]]

* {{Justified|Trope}} in ''Manga/TheRedRangerBecomesAnAdventurerInAnotherWorld''. Tougo arrived in Idola's world with only the clothes on his back and his transformation bracelet. He doesn't have the funds to get any new clothes, so he's always seen wearing what he had before coming to Idola's world.
