* [[OlderAlterEgo Adult form]] Vivio's casual outfit in ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaViVid''. Is she showing off to [[HasTwoMommies her mamas]]?

* ''VisualNovel/VA11HallA'': Alma is noted to have an [[BuxomIsBetter outrageously oversized chest]], which she chooses to emphasize with tight turtleneck sweaters. This goes neither un-noticed nor unappreciated by the rest of the cast. Even Dana is not above EatingTheEyeCandy, and ignores that Alma didn't dress up for the Mega-Christmas Party because "Sweaters get a pass."

* Denise (Denise Darcel), the Frenchwoman whom the men of the 327th bivouac with in ''Film/Battleground1949'', puts some strain on her sweaters. This is played for a gag when Denise is busily slicing a loaf of bread for the men, knife repeatedly coming close to her prominent bosom, while Pfc. Holley winces nervously.
* Creator/LanaTurner in a bunch of movies starting with her film debut ''They Won't Forget''. She was even ''called'' the Sweater Girl, which makes her the {{Trope Namer|s}}.

* Shizuna-sensei of ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' is often shown with one, which really accentuates her ''ahem'' maternal figure.

* After being transferred to snowy Lyrias in ''Manga/AkagamiNoShirayukihime'' Shirayuki wears a number of sweaters that look quite good on her.

* Denise (Denise Darcel), the Frenchwoman whom the men of the 327th bivouac with in ''Film/{{Battleground}}'', puts some strain on her sweaters. This is played for a gag when Denise is busily slicing a loaf of bread for the men, knife repeatedly coming close to her prominent bosom, while Pfc. Holley winces nervously.

* The girls of Franchise/ArchieComics are prone to wearing the occasional tight sweater, especially Veronica.

* The song "I Want Candy" contains in its third verse "Candy on the beach there's nothing better/But I like candy when it's wrapped in a sweater". Oddly enough the cover by "Bow Wow Wow" [[TheCoverChangesTheGender is sung by a female about a boy]] but keeps this line, for a rare GenderFlip of this trope.

* ''Film/TheBarefootContessa'': Vincenzo is instantly enchanted with Maria after seeing her perform a flamenco dance with Gypsy peasants, while clad in a very very tight yellow sweater.

Not that a sweater can ''never'' be tacky. It's just if ladies want to look sexy, and the choice is between a halter top or an angora sweater, the latter is far less likely to have the wearer say, "Just because I'm wearing these clothes doesn't make me a prostitute!" It's more the "I'm way out of your league" kind of sexy. Particularly fuzzy sweaters can emphasize this by subtly echoing [[PrettyInMink the glamour of a fur coat]].

->'''Frank''': I can knit a sweater!\\
'''Annie''': I can fill it better!

* Judith Mossman in ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''. ''Webcomic/{{Concerned}}'' pointed this out a [[http://hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2005-11-04 couple]] [[http://hlcomic.com/cast.html times]].

[-[[caption-width-right:350:As this scene shows, she's not TheIngenue in the movie, yet neither is she TheVamp.[[labelnote:*]]same with her digital counterpart and her SensualSpandex[[/labelnote]]]]-]

* The girls of ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' like wearing sweaters. In one episode, Phoebe wore a white sweater with [[PrettyInMink fur-trimmed sleeves]].

->'''Frank:''' I can knit a sweater!
->'''Annie:''' I can fill it better!

-->"It is not skin area but ''contour'' that counts.
-->"A few simple experiments with sweaters, jerseys, and a slightly smaller dress size will bring pleasing and surprising results. One young lady who made a careful study of contour planning found that results were little short of breath-taking."

--> '''Fez''': Oh, good God, man, what a marvelous set of kittens. Remember that sweater?
--> '''Kelso''': Oh. Remember the other sweater?
--> '''Eric''': Yeah. Remember that time she ran up to us in a sweater?
--> '''Hyde''': Remember the week she took up jump rope? In a sweater?
--> This is followed by a montage of said sweaters.

-->Tom: The kids' lives are in danger. (beat) So, wear a tight sweater tomorrow.
-->Zoe: What?
-->Tom: I've been watching him all day. He obviously fancies you. We need to build up on that connection.
-->Zoe: (sarcastically) Any particular sweater in mind?
-->Tom AND Danny, simultaneously: The blue one.

-->''Those soft and fuzzy sweaters''
-->''Too magical to touch''
-->''To see her in that negligee is really just too much.''

-->'''Frank''': I can knit a sweater.
-->'''Annie''': I can fill it better.

** When playing Judy Norton, Novak has the tight sweater when she meets [[Creator/JimmyStewart James Stewart]] in ''Film/{{Vertigo}}''. This serves to contrast Judy's earthy sexuality with Madeline Elster (also played by Novak), the icy blonde that Stewart became obsessed with before her death.

A lot of the appeal is that they ''just'' [[FormFittingWardrobe outline the figure]] (why "sweater puppies" is a nickname for a shapely chest) while barely actually showing anything. That makes wearing a tight sweater some of the most tasteful and acceptable fanservice and FetishFuel around (not to mention one of the few of the latter [[InUniverse actually acknowledged in mainstream fiction]]). In the days of UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode, once those sweaters caught on, they were almost up there with the heart-shaped neckline as a way of GettingCrapPastTheRadar. Actresses who embraced this look were known as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweater_girl sweater girls]], hence the trope name. This especially became a common form of fanservice for actresses who were playing wholesome, innocent characters that wouldn't be expected to wear revealing outfits.

* Dawn in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRevengeOfTheIsland''

* ''{{Spooks}}'': In "Spiders", Zoe needs to get close to a particular target.

* Rider from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' in her 'civilian' guise. Combined with {{Meganekko}} for that extra little fetish twist, and the end result is just... wow.
** To say nothing of [[IconicOutfit Rin Tohsaka]].

* A couple of examples in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', the most notable being {{AxCrazy}} [[PirateGirl Pirate Queen]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040123#.Vu7mc-KLTIV Bangladesh DuPree]].
** [[DarkActionGirl Zola]] also has this in a [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100628#.Vu7n7eKLTIU sleeveless pink variant]].

* One song in TheFullMonty has the men objectifying women before realizing to their horror that they will soon be on the receiving end, and Jerry has this kind of girl in mind.
