* ''WebAnimation/BarbieLifeInTheDreamhouse'' has Barbie invoke this with her rival Raquelle of all people: After Ryan stains Raquelle's new dress, Barbie dresses her in the sparkly pink dress that she wears almost all the time (including during the show's opening).
* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': TomboyAndGirlyGirl couple [[spoiler: ---Kat and Paz---]] go to a dance in subtly complementary outfits: Girly-girl wears a nautical-inspired dress while Tomboy is basically wearing a naval dress outfit minus the jacket.

* Done very subtly but heartwarmingly in ''Film/TheConjuringUniverse'' with the {{happily married}} Ed and Lorraine Warren; Ed's ties are often from the same fabric as Lorraine's skirt or dress. (For just one example, see the dancing scene at the end of ''Film/TheConjuringII''). Most fans don't even notice it until it's pointed out, but it's a lovely little detail that ties them together and shows them as a united front.

Sister trope to SuperheroTeamUniform. Compare ModelCouple, WholeCostumeReference (wearing an identical outfit that was famously worn by another character or RealLife person), and YouAreTheNewTrend (when a character's signature look suddenly inspires widespread imitation).

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'':
** The Fashion Bloggers both wear pastel blue tops and a dark blue pair of pants or skirt. Also, Tom wears glasses to see and Jen matches that by accessorizing with sunglasses on her head.
** The Ice Dancers have matching uniforms.
** The Rockers wear shirts with a matching logo.
** The Sisters both wear the same style of swimsuit.

* In ''[[ComicBook/RobinSeries Robin]]'' Tim's friend Ives has a pair of identical twin cousins whose parents dress them in identical outfits. One of them seems to care a bit more about keeping those outfits looking nice though since she keeps any bows and ribbons tied perfectly while the other tends to leave them undone or uneven.

** One episode features the gang dressed up as superheroes from the ''Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'' for a New Year's Eve party in a comic book store. Too bad there were [[DressesTheSame several gangs with the same idea]], but Leonard and co's costumes were the coolest and they won the competition.
** Howard gets cajoled by Bernadette into transmogrifying his ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' character's equipment to match that of Bernadette's.
** Rajesh is mentioned to post photos of himself and his little dog Cinnamon wearing matching sweaters on social media.
** In "The Imitation Perturbation", Penny and Leonard host a costume party:
*** Howard and Bernadette are a married couple who go as Mary Poppins and a chimney sweep.
*** Newlyweds Sheldon and Amy go dressed as Howard and Bernadette. They imitate them, which of course annoys the couple that gets imitated. (It's actually a successful attempt to get back at Howard who dressed exactly like Sheldon and kept imitating him earlier in the episode for a wear-a-costume-to-work thing.)

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': As a result of realizing he has nothing nice to wear when planning to go out to dinner at a fancy restaurant with some of his lady friends (Elena, Sara, and Shizuka), and thinking that seeing his VirtualSidekick Alpha in her UnlimitedWardrobe has ruined his sense of fashion, Akira remembers how he was impressed by seeing Sheryl in the dress he discovered adventuring and had custom fitted for her. So he orders custom tailored clothing for himself and the three to match Sheryl’s dress.

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': During their only appearance in the series, [[HasTwoMommies Lena and Violet's fathers]] are shown wearing matching "I'm with dad" t-shirts.

Aw, look, the characters, be they twins, a couple in love, loving family members or a group of friends, intentionally wear matching clothes to show that they belong together. The outfits might be exactly the same, just similar and matching in style or following a shared theme. It's usually seen as cute, cool, creepy or just lame.

* It may have been born out of Luigi being a PaletteSwap, but the titular ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' wear matching overalls and caps.

* SubvertedForLaughs in ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar''. [[spoiler:Kaguya shows up for her first post-RelationshipUpgrade date with Shirogane in her school uniform because she figured he'd be wearing his as well ([[SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack she'd literally never seen him wear anything else all the other times they've met outside of school]]), only to find that he had chosen to wear casual clothes instead because he thought that his uniform was inappropriate for something as special as a first date.]]

* Even though it's never brought up in the actual episodes of ''WebVideo/PrettyDudes'', each of the six main characters wear matching necklaces that symbolize their friendship. No other character are ever seen wearing one, and the main characters wear them even when they're shirtless or nude.

* Very downplayed in ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. All [[spoiler:four]] Pines wear some shade of red somewhere, but otherwise their clothes are unique and ''still identify themselves belonging to the same family / or as [[spoiler:twins]]''. A complete analysis of their colors [[Analysis/GravityFalls here]].
