* Averted in ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'', where the female character can wear certain items of clothing not available to the male characters; in ''Seiken Densetsu 3'', each character is required to buy a unique set of armor (and weapons).
** But still played straight as the Boy and the Sprite can wear (most) of the same armor, even though the sprite is about half the size of the human male.

* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'': The [[ArmorOfInvincibility Apex Armor]] is a suit of ancient PowerArmor crafted by [[UltimateBlacksmith Solus Prime]] that is usually just a small chest piece but when placed on a cybertonian body it extends armor that adjusts to the wearers size and body shape, in season 3 we find out that it is even compatible with humans.

** The sequel implements a more traditional loot system playing this trope straight.

*** Every larper or reenactment participant that has worn plate mail can attest to that, as the armors worn are just a little lighter than the real thing, and usually one tries a friend armor before buying ones own.

* Partially averted by ''VideoGame/{{Runescape}}'': Early on in the game's history, a blacksmith NPC existed solely to convert men's armor to women's armor and vice versa. The other gender's armor wasn't unwearable, but did make your character appear to be genderbent, especially when a male character wore a female armor piece. This was eventually done away with in a major game upgrade, and the blacksmith's shop was replaced with a burnt, abandoned shell. However, both plate legs and plate skirts exist as armor pieces and unwearable armors from other races, such as goblins, exist.
** Unwearable until you turn into a goblin, that is.

* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' provides an extreme example: It's possible for [[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-102907.php a Tauren]] (an 8-foot-tall bipedal quasi-bovine) to wear gear looted from a leper gnome.
** Also, that the same piece of gear, when worn by a female, instantly becomes not just smaller, but also [[ChainmailBikini more revealing/form fitting]].
** Exactly the same in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'', but replace Tauren with Galka, and Gnomes with Tarutaru.
** Not only that, when worn by draenei or tauren, pants and robes magically sport tailholes.
*** And shoes lose the shoe part, and become something like legwarmers. Note that you can later give the shoes to someone without hooves and have the shoe part reappear.
*** The ''Cataclysm'' expansion brought [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Worgen]] to the table. In human form, shoes are just normal shoes, but in worgen form, they become leg warmers. Your shoes will magically switch between shoes and leg-warmers depending on what form you're in.

* Played straight in Magic: The Gathering, where those boots your human character wears can also be worn by a spider or a snake, because having rules on each card about what creature types can and can't use a single piece would overwhelm a single card.

* The [[ArmorOfInvincibility Apex Armor]] is a suit of ancient PowerArmor crafted by [[UltimateBlacksmith Solus Prime]] that is usually just a small chest piece but when placed on a cybertonian body it extends armor that adjusts to the wearers size and body shape, in season 3 we find out that it is even compatible with humans.

* [[ZigZaggingTrope Messed about with]] in the first ''[[StarOcean1 Star Ocean]]'' game - most characters are roughly the same size, but Ilia (a [[IKnowKarate kung-fu-fighting woman]] and [[CatGirl Pericci]] both have unique sets of clothing that only fit them. On the other hand, Phia (a female warrior) wears the exact same stuff as Roddick and Cyuss (male ones). Oh, and some characters have tails, but since the game takes place on a world where almost ''everyone'' has tails, the assumption is that the tail holes are always there but the human characters just ignore them.

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', all the weapons enemies use are scaled to their size. Even if a weapon is small or huge, they'll magically change to a size suitable for Link once dropped. Averted with the [[MaskOfPower Thunder Helm]], which was originally designed for the adult Gerudo woman Urbosa to wear and which slides around on the much younger Riju's head when the latter puts it on. The lack of this is also a plot point with the [[FishPeople Zora]] Armor: [[spoiler:Muzu refuses to believe that Mipha was in love with Link until Sidon points out that the chest portion of the armor she crafted, traditionally given by Zora women to their intended husbands, fits Link's Hylian physique perfectly]].

** ''VideoGame/{{Fallout New Vegas}}'' provides perhaps the most absurd example, in the Dead Money DLC. At one point you encounter the skeletal corpse of a female singer about whom you've heard much, and the skeleton has her dress still on it. You can take the dress, shown as a dress right in front of your eyes and well established as having been worn by a female, and it will instantly morph into a tuxedo if you're playing as a male.

* In ''SonicChronicles The Dark Brotherhood'', all the footwear that Cream and Amy can wear, ''Big'' can wear. Boots that can be worn by Rouge can also be worn by Eggman. Gloves can be worn by any non-robot.

** Averted in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime'' and ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'', where the baby bros and Bowser have different types of clothing.

* In the handheld and NES ''FireEmblem'' games any equipped weapons will magically adjust to the style that the character wielding them likes. A Hero using an Iron Sword will wield a massive broadsword. Pass that same sword to a Myrmidon and it's a katana. Finally give it to an assassin and it's a pair of daggers.

* Averted slightly in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto: [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity Vice City]]''. In order to do some insanity, Tommy and his sidekick Lance ambush two cops in a garage. They tie them up and steal their uniforms. Lance says that his fits just fine, but Tommy declares that his are 'a bit tight in the crotch'. Lance then hastily claims the same. Oh, Lance.

* In a possible model for this trope, the titular Rings of Power from ''TheLordOfTheRings'' are capable of altering their size fit their present owner (and to treacherously slip off their finger).

* In TheNeverendingStory, Auryn, the Childlike Empress' amulet was worn easily by a centaur, two boys, and a large luck dragon, all around their necks. The Childlike Empress also wears it, but she is the god of the world, so that can be justified.

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', all the weapons enemies use are scaled to their size. Even if a weapon is small or huge, they'll magically change to a size suitable for Link once dropped. Averted with the [[MaskOfPower Thunder Helm]], which was originally designed for the adult Gerudo woman Urbosa to wear and which slides around on the much younger Riju's head when the latter puts it on.

* Similarly to the above, this is averted and lampshaded in CastlevaniaRPG, and in addition [[http://www.cvrpg.com/archive/2009/11/19 Link spells out why this trope doesn't plausibly work.]]

* In ''ShiningForce II'', rings, bracelets and similar generic accessories can be worn by characters who don't have ''hands''.

* Averted in ''PlanescapeTorment'' - everyone who winds up in your party has their own armour or clothing, and refuses to take it off. You can buy armour for the party ActionGirl, but you can't wear that (or the clothing it replaces).

* In the original ''OgreBattle'', any unit can equip any armor. Even armless creatures like dragons can wear mail or use weapons without problems.

* Averted in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' - the "beast races" (reptilian Argonians and catlike Khajit) could not wear boots due to the unusual shape of their feet. Played straight in the other games in the series. This can be [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in the case of the Khajit, who supposedly range from feral jaguar-men to {{Cat Girl}}s, but there is no explanation for Argonians.
** Particularly jarring in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' is that if you play as a female character and steal clothing or armour from a male character (or vice versa), the item actually magically changes appearance when worn - trousers become skirts and shirts become blouses.
*** An extreme example from ''Oblivion'' is the "Huntsman's Vest", which, on male characters, is a simple fur vest. On female characters, it becomes a fur bra.
*** The most ridiculous thing about Oblivion is that the armors of Tiber Septim and Pelinal Whitestrake - men - adjust for women, but the Imperial Dragon Armor - forged for you specifically over two game weeks - does not due to a bug.
*** The helmets in [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]] and Oblivion seem to force people to have the same head size...somehow. All the beast race's horns, muzzles, spikes and foot long ears seem to fold up.
