Line #23 PlayingWith/SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character wears their school uniform even when other clothing options are available or would make more sense.
2	* '''Straight''': Alice, a student at Tropeford Academy, wears her uniform when hanging out with her friends (on a non-school day).
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Alice wears her school uniform to a fancy ball.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Alice occasionally wears her uniform outside of school.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** Tropeford Academy has rules requiring students to wear their uniforms even in certain situations outside of school.
7	** Alice is [[LimitedWardrobe too poor to afford other clothes]].
8	** Alice's other clothes are in the wash.
9	** Alice just likes the uniform, or just has a lot of school spirit.
10	** Alice is a {{Magical Girl}} or {{Superhero}} whose powers only work when she's wearing her school uniform.
11	** Alice is just too lazy to wear other clothes.
12	** Alice hasn't been home yet to change.
13	* '''Inverted''':
14	** Alice never wears her uniform, even in school.
15	** Alice's school doesn't have uniforms, but she makes a point of always changing clothes between school and hanging out afterwards just because.
16	* '''Subverted''': Alice seems to wear a school uniform outside of school in one scene, but they turn out to be casual clothes.
17	* '''Double Subverted''': Alice is seen in something that looks like a school uniform, but it's just her casual clothes. Her casual clothes actually are school uniforms, because she really likes the fashion.
18	* '''Parodied''': Alice literally never wears anything else: she wears her uniform to formal occasions, she bathes in it, and she even ''sleeps'' in it.
19	* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice alternates between wearing her uniform in school, wearing non-regulation clothes in school, wearing her uniform outside of school, wearing casual clothes outside of school, and just forgoing clothes entirely.
20	* '''Averted''': Alice wears her uniform in scenes where it would be expected, and casual (or otherwise appropriate clothes besides her uniform) at other times.
21	* '''Enforced''': "We can't afford a lot of outfits, so let's just have Alice wear her school uniform for everything."
22	* '''Lampshaded''': When asked why she's wearing her school uniform while camping, Alice says, "How else would people know I go to school?"
23	* '''Invoked''': "I wonder what should I wear... Should I just go with my school uniform?"
24	* '''Exploited''': [[TheRival Veronica]], who's [[TheMole trying to infiltrate in Tropeford Academy]], [[DressingAsTheEnemy dons one of their characteristic uniforms]] in order to get along the students that roam around with them way past school hours. The logic behind such action being that only a true Tropeford's student would wear her uniform outside of the institution, so it is an almost perfect disguise.
25	* '''Defied''': Alice mother strictly forbids Alice from using her uniform past school hours, as it might get unnecessarily dirty, making laundry a more annoying chore in the long run.
26	* '''Discussed''': "Sheesh, Alice, don't you you have any other clothes?"
27	* '''Conversed''': "I see the animators went with LimitedWardrobe, so Alice wears her school uniform everywhere."
