History Main / SexDressed

* A subtle example shows up in the ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries]]'' episode "Wink of an Eye". We cut away from Kirk and Deela in his quarters; when we next see them, she's brushing her hair and he's putting on one of his boots.

Not to be confused with ReadyForLovemaking

* In the ''Series/DoctorWho Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures'' novel ''Vanishing Point'', [[ChivalrousPervert Fitz]] gets in trouble due to being seen like this. See, he just had sex with a twenty-year-old [[TheIngenue ingenue]], called Vettul, who has never met a remotely able-bodied human man other than him -- when she first met him, she called him "very beautiful" although he's really just average-looking, because she has no real point of reference. Looking at it that way, there's little space for the fact he's also ten years her senior to make it worse. So her mother-figure goes over all [[OverprotectiveDad Overprotective]] MamaBear when they come back from the barn (yes, they had a literal roll in the hay) and she notices that Fitz hasn't got his trousers properly done up, so they keep falling down, and Vettul looks a little rumpled as well. He tries to talk her down by telling her that she's been sheltering Vettul far too much, which is true. There's also the fact that [[CovertPervert Vettul started feeling him up first]]. And then Vettul gets upset because she can tell he cares more about defending himself, [[ItGotWorse and then the Doctor appears by communication screen and disapproves too]]...

* In ''TheDarkKnight'', when Bruce goes into his penthouse bedroom to the hidden wall panel. In the background you see a man hurriedly stand up and buckle his pants, while the woman he was with adjusts her bra and expresses relief that there is a panic room.

* Happens often in ''HowIMetYourMother''.

* LampshadeHanging and averting of this trope occurs in ''{{Waterdance}}''. The heroine's family finds out about her first and only liaison; a friend refers to it as being "caught with hay in your hair and your skirts around your waist" and she replies that they did it in a bed and took their clothes off properly, thank you very much.
* In one sequence in ''FuttocksEnd'', a fuse blows just as everyone is going to bed, plunging the house into darkness. When the lights come back on, everyone is on the landing in their sleepwear; the housemaid and the Boots are wearing each other's pajama trousers.

** In Lilly and Marshal's case, the simultanious-sitting-up-from-floor-with-satiated-smiles-and-slightly-askew-clothing is a bit of a running gag.

* In TheOrderOfTheStick, Vaarsvius [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0365.html assumes]] that this is happening when Elan's sash is backwards. In actuality, [[EvilTwin Nale]] has disguised himself as Elan and got part of the outfit wrong.

* Averted to the extreme in the ''StarTrekTNG'' episode "The Emissary". Worf and K'Ehler engage in a combat exercise program... then they engage each other. Cut to commercial break. When we return, both characters are ''completely dressed -- without so much as a wrinkled wardrobe''. K'Ehler's wistfull line about some calisthenics being better than others is the only verification audience really has as to what just happened. At least in that episode.
* Played straight in the ''StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places" when Worf and Jadzia Dax stumble into med bay the morning after with considerable ClothingDamage.

* In ''Porky's'', the assistant coach comes back with his shirt messed up after the howler's heard earning her namesake. Everyone knew who the woman was but aside from the head coach no one knew who the dude was 'til they saw him w/a mussed shirt.

Tedd is shown adjusting his clothes on his way to answer the door.
