* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': Creator/GeneRoddenberry forced the cast to wear costumes that were two sizes too small for the first season because he didn't want any wrinkles appearing in the clothing. This was so uncomfortable and hated by everyone that Creator/PatrickStewart ended up getting a note from his doctor stating that the studio would be held liable for any back problems he developed. Even after that, Councilor Troy's outfit was quite form-fitting.

** The ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' games avert this in their own way. All of them wear tights/pantyhose depending on the version under their dresses that are about as tight as ''BOTW'' Zelda's pants. But their rear ends are so small and hips so narrow that there isn't much to 'ride up' so said clothing doesn't take any shape because of their inadequate anatomy.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Barracuda}}'', the Governor wears black leather pants that cling to her extremely shapely legs and ass like a second skin. It's a miracle that she can walk at all.
* Rare non-fanservice (at least intentional) example: when stealing the title character of ''ComicBook/{{Diabolik}}'' wears a full-body suit that covers everything but the eyes and makes him look like (in the words of a caricaturist) "a naked man completely painted black". {{Justified|Trope}}: when studying martial arts in East Asia, trainees at his school had to wear a ninja suit and ''never'' show their face, and after a training accident in which his face was exposed he came up with the suit because it's much harder to grab. [[HyperspaceArsenal Where he keeps his knives when wearing that suit remains a mystery whose solution he's not willing to share]].
* Poor ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'''s super suit is canonically thinner than a soap bubble and so revealing it took her six months to work up enough nerve to wear it in public.
* Several Bronze Age ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'s costumes included form-fitting blue pants.
* ComicBook/{{Storm}} wore skin-tight black pants during her "punk" phase back in TheEighties.
* ''ComicBook/StreetFighter'' has Ibuki's otherwise rather loose ninja outfit [[https://i.imgur.com/XRnFJgD.jpg take the shape of her rear end]] in some scenes.
* ''ComicBook/{{WITCH}}'' offers us Will Vandom from the New Power saga onwards.
* Franchise/WonderWoman has occasionally swapped her usual leotard or culottes for tight white pants.

* Robert Conrad in ''Series/TheWildWildWest'' - his legwear of choice is so tight that in fight scenes they were prone to splitting (and not always off-camera, as "The Night of the Pistoleros" demonstrates).
* ''Series/WonderWoman1975'': In TheSeventies era of the show, Diana Prince frequently wore stylish and flattering outfits, including these type of pants. For example, in "The Fine Art of Crime", she can be seen wearing tight pants (with 70's bell bottoms!) while eluding a couple of [[{{Mooks}} thugs]].

* In Europe, starting in the 14th century, as men's fashions switched their long tunics to doublets that barely covered the crotch, men started to wear tight hoses that reached to the waistline, and they served both as pants and stockings. As they were separates, some men wore hoses of contrasting colors and were complemented by codpieces. By the 16th century, codpieces became more elaborate and overcompensating, and baggy breeches were added, before the breeches flattened and lowered to the knees and the hose was replaced with stocking in the later 16th and early 17th century.

* Speedskaters were thin, tight suits covering most of their body, exposing only the feet (which are covered by the skates), part of the face (between the eyes and the chin), and, for some skaters, the hands. This is purely for aerodynamic reasons.

** Jean is one of the only female characters that wears pants instead of the shorts and boots that most of them have. They're basically leggings, so they show her legs' every curve, and her introduction cutscene starts with a few seconds focused on those legs.

* In ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur III'' and ''IV'', given the setting, no character wears this except, arguably, Xiangua, but in the character creator (where they have everything from eighties clothes to ''skintight chainmail'') you can set female characters to wear these. In Soul Calibur 4, with its constant ClothingDamage, it usually comes down to either these or underwear/bikinis.

* ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' has the titular princess in form-fitting white leggings but they aren't really played for fanservice. However, the film did once have a reputation for having viewers think that Nausicaa was flying around pantsless and underwear free due to old VHS fansubs where the footage had degraded so much through multiple copying that they looked more skin-toned in colour.

Extra points if the wearer is wearing a top made out of the same material, covering all the fanservice bases.
