* Funnily enough, despite [[ImprobablyFemaleCast the prominence of females]] in ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', the first one to get the skintight leather pants treatment is Tohma, the male protagonist of ''Force'', while he's using the [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Black Knight form]]. Females tend to get skintight bodysuits instead.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': A [GenderInvertedTrope rare male example] in Ned Flanders. Incidentally, that same example happens to be the TropeNamer of StupidSexyFlanders.

!!Examples:

* JonBonJovi

** River Song is also fond of pants very similar to the ones in page picture, even managing to run and fight in them. Lampshaded while CheckingOutTheNewBody and finding she's got a great ass. "Oh, that's MAGNIFICENT! I'm going to wear LOTS of jodhpurs!"

* Superskin, a bodystocking that fits like a second skin in Creator/RobertAHeinlein's ''Friday''.

->''She walked by me in painted-on jeans''

These really became popular in the [[TheSeventies Seventies]] and [[TheEighties Eighties]], and are used much, much more often on females than males. See also MostCommonSuperpower, as clothes like this are used to emphasize that.

** Male comic characters also frequently appear to have been drawn naked but with BarbieDollAnatomy, and then colored like a CaptainAmerica suit, to the point of details like belly buttons showing. Really, clothes hanging like actual clothes is the exception, not the rule.

* [[MortalKombat Sonya Blade]] alternated between this and less tight pants, though she stopped wearing these in the later games.

* In ''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 it's constant ClothingDamage, it usually comes down to either these or underwear/bikinis.

* ''WorldOfWarcraft'' uses these for most equipment, using different pieces attached to the base model to make it unique. It gets a bit ridiculous for some equipment, for instance skin tight plate mail or skin tight tuxedos.

* ''VelvetAssassin'': A few missions in Violet abandons her bomber jacket and jeans in favor of something a bit more... flattering to her figure, but still tasteful and functional. The tight leather pants seem like they were molded into the perfect shape of her butt.

* Peter Vincent, David Tennant's character in the ''[[Film/FrightNight2011 Fright Night]]'' remake, wears nearly painted-on leather pants. They become the source of a [[{{Squick}} Squick-inducing]] CrowningMomentOfFunny in the HilariousOuttakes.

* In The Rose Tattoo, Serafina examines her daughter's sailor boyfriend from the front and back and asks him why they make Navy pants so tight. "That's a question you'll have to ask the Navy," he tells her.

* The standard women's uniform in HeroicAge could not possibly get more form-fitting.

* In ''Theatre/TheRoseTattoo'', Serafina examines her daughter's sailor boyfriend from the front and back and asks him why they make Navy pants so tight. "That's a question you'll have to ask the Navy," he tells her.

* Kurt Hummel from ''{{Glee}}''.

And he ''does'' do high kicks in them. Check out both 'Rose's Turn' and 'Time Warp' for proof. His actor Chris Colfer has even said that filming [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130117212712/glee/it/images/7/77/Kurt_not_the_boy_cover_wiki.jpg Not The Boy Next Door]] was "the battle of the bulge".

* Fiyero's famous white pants in Theatre/Wicked.

* ''{{Saiyuki}}'' contains a male example.

* Common among [[GameMod custom clothing]] for ''TheSims 2'', because it's easier - you can simply paste the pants textures directly onto the shape of a naked Sim.

* Kurt Hummel from ''{{Glee}}''. His pants are sometimes so ridiculously tight you have to wonder how he can even walk in them at times. And he ''does'' do high kicks in them. Check out both 'Rose's Turn' and 'Time Warp' for proof.

* Jareth wears these in ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}''.

* "Sandy II" in ''Film/{{Grease}}''. Olivia Newton-John had to have the pants sewn around her legs, so tight were they.
** The zipper broke.

* Skinsuits, the standard issue airtight, skintight spacesuits in Literature/HonorHarrington need to be custom fitted for each person. later even Nimitz the treecat get's one.

* Rare non-fanservicey (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}}: 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]].
