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." |
