[[caption-width-right:259:ComicBook/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}.]]

Often, when a character has a {{Gender Flip}}ped or DistaffCounterpart version, gender-specific changes will be made to that character's outfit. For example, pants will become a skirt, a necktie will become a [[ScarfOfAsskicking scarf]], and a vest will become a [[OfCorsetsSexy corset]]. Other popular, but relatively minor, changes include removing a collar for an ImpossiblyLowNeckline or NavelDeepNeckline, changing a unitard into a [[LeotardOfPower leotard]] (to show off sexy legs), changing a full shirt into a [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine crop top]], or changing an outfit that was once loose-fitting into SensualSpandex. Also, when the male version tends to be a WalkingShirtlessScene, the female counterpart will at least don a complimentary bra, to avoid NippleAndDimed.

Since {{Distaff Counterpart}}s are more common than {{Spear Counterpart}}s, and {{Stripperiffic}} costumes are more common amongst women, most changes will be male-to-female and the costume will be CustomUniformOfSexy.

However, male examples ''do'' exist. [[SharpDressedMan A tuxedo or a tie, for example.]] [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics Or a baseball cap]].

This is a SubTrope of DistaffCounterpart and SpearCounterpart and often a manifestation of the RuleOfSexy. In video games, it can be considrered an AcceptableBreakFromReality if the same clothing item is used.

See MultiGenderedOutfit when someone combines articles of specifically masculine and feminine clothing.

!! Examples:
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:{{Anime}} & Manga]]
* ''Manga/{{ARIA}}'': When President Aria ends up in a GenderBentAlternateUniverse, he finds out that all the girls he knows are guys in this new world and vice versa. The dresses Undines wore in the main world turned into a cloak and pants, while all of the original world's men incorporated skirts/dresses into their outfits as women.
* When the students get their new, militaristic, "PE uniforms" at the end of volume 11 of ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'', the boys' outfit is ordinary baggy combat gear, while the girls' is a [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine cropped jacket]] and Lara Croft-style shorts over a skintight [[SpyCatsuit spandex unitard]]. Justified since Irina designed the girls' outfit (and it turns out that her preferred design was incredibly {{Stripperiffic}}, but she and Karasuma compromised).
* ''Manga/CellsAtWork'': Female red blood cells wear shorts, while male ones wear pants. As erythroblasts, the boys wear suspender shorts while the girls wear dresses.
* ''Manga/PrisonSchool'': The male prison uniforms are the [[InstitutionalApparel classic Black and white horizontal striped jumpsuits]]. The female version has the same color pattern but consist of a [[FormFittingWardrobe very tight top]] that [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine shows off their midriff]] and tight capri pants.
* This is Creator/RumikoTakahashi's bread and butter when drawing SidestoryBonusArt of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'''s protagonist, and ''especially'' if said art shows both male and female Ranmas together -- male Ranma will always be wearing male-presenting outfits, from Chinese uniforms to tuxedos to gala suits, while female Ranma will always be in dresses, skirts, and swimsuits that match and mirror the fashion, stylings, and motifs of the counterpart clothes, to the point that, [[MythicalMotifs if male Ranma's clothes are emblazoned with a dragon, female Ranma will be wearing a phoenix]].

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}'':
** Bette Kane, the first "Bat-Girl", wore a masquerade-style mask instead of a cowl in addition to a dress with a short skirt.
** Barbara Gordon, the second Batgirl, wore high heeled boots in her first 20 years of appearances. Her cowl was also modified to let her long hair flow out.
** Averted with Cassandra Cain, the third main Batgirl. The only giveaway for her gender is the FormFittingWardrobe.
** Stephanie Brown, like Barbara, wore an outfit that let her hair fly free.
* ''ComicBook/{{Batwoman}}'' sports a look pretty close to Batman's, but she has fake long hair attached to the cowl as a bit of a disguise (and also very noticeable lipstick).
* ''ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}}'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Carol Danvers]]'s classic costume as ComicBook/MsMarvel (technically her second, but the first one didn't last long) is a gendered version of Captain Marvel's, complete with a ScarfOfAsskicking, ThongOfShielding and Bared Midriff. [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091028123515/marveldatabase/images/thumb/5/55/Terry_Dodson_Combined_Variant_Covers.jpg/830px-Terry_Dodson_Combined_Variant_Covers.jpg Picture for reference]]. Her later outfit as Captain Marvel largely averts this, being far more modest and militaristic than her previous outfits. The aforementioned scarf is the only element that she retained from her last costume.
* In ''ComicBook/EarthX'', [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] was transformed into [[AttractiveBentGender a woman]] as another humility lesson given by his father, [[TopGod Odin]]. For no explained reason, this costume places Thor's usual metal discs on her breasts like cups, gives her thigh high boots, and frames her figure with holes that show off every curve of her body. Remember, for all intents and purposes, this is a character that was once ''male''. So that means either Thor decided that not having a penis meant that it was time to make a sluttier costume... or [[BrainBleach Odin did]].
* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': The team share the same outfit design. But for a while after ''ComicBook/TheInfinityWar'', the Invisible Woman wore a highly {{Stripperific}} version of the FF uniform. ComicBook/SheHulk wore a leotard version of their costume while she was on the team, but that was arguably more like a feminine analogue to The Thing's shorts (i.e., the TheBigGuy of the team wears less clothing, even if she's a Big Girl.)
* ''ComicBook/TheFlash'': Jesse Quick. Her original costume was pretty similar to her dad's look, albeit she also wore a jacket over and swapped the yellow tights for mid-length compression shorts. When he passed away, she switched to a distinct costume, though while aesthetically close to the Flash family, she opted for a leotard instead of full tights[[note]]Though this is likely based on the fact female runners do tend to prefer leotards to full tights[[/note]]. Later, she donned a costume similar to her dad's again, but swapped his tight-fit shirt for a loose one and replaced the trunks-over-tights with just tiny short-shorts, and thanks to DependingOnTheArtist, her shirt would sometimes be [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine baring her midriff]].
* ''ComicBook/GalactaDaughterOfGalactus'': Galacta wears a gendered version of ComicBook/{{Galactus}}' armor.
* ComicBook/MartianManhunter's DistaffCounterpart, Miss Martian, wears a cute skirt and a t-shirt under her red "harness."
* Usually, if a male character has a look that's ''almost'', but not completely, a WalkingShirtlessScene look (like ComicBook/MartianManhunter, above), his female counterpart will have much more fabric covering her chest. Usually. Some exceptions:
** [[http://www.comics.org/issue/45574/cover/4/ This Thanagarian warrior]] makes Hawkgirl's bustier look downright modest.
** Some of DC's minor female Martian characters, like [[http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/2/26700/661507-cay_an_large.jpg Cay'an]], nearly let it all hang out.
* Valkyrie in ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'' wears something quite similar to Thor himself... but has a leotard in place of Thor's unitard to better expose her legs.
* ''ComicBook/Robin1993'': During her tenure as the Girl Wonder, Stephanie Brown was the only ComicBook/{{Robin}} to wear a skirt.
* ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'': Mary Marvel wears a skirt instead of tights for her uniform.
* Back when ComicBook/SheHulk's transformations were uncontrollable, [[http://www.comics.org/issue/34782/cover/4/ her tops]] were like cousin Bruce Banner's pants (but not ''his'' shirts) - stretching ''almost'' to the point of coming off entirely.
* A number of [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Spider-Women]], both mainstream and alternate universe, tend to be like this, usually exposing the top of their head to show off their hair or perhaps expose their arms and have long gloves. ComicBook/SpiderGirl is a happy aversion, as she wears Ben Reiliy's costume, which still looks the same. Another aversion is ComicBook/SpiderGwen, who wears a distinct, all-covering bodysuit with a hood.
* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':
** ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'s [[http://www.herostime.co/superhero/cache/data/categroyimg/Supergirls-280x320.png costumes over the years]] have had many gendered components, including (in various combinations) short skirts, short shorts, low necklines, heels, ballet slippers, thigh-high boots, and bared midriffs.
** In ''ComicBook/ElseworldsFinestSupergirlAndBatgirl'', teen ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}'s costumes played it straight (Kara wore skirt and boots; Barbara wore high-heeled boots and her cowl let her long hair flow) but their adult selves' costumes avert it.
** ''ComicBook/Superboy1994'': In the "Hypertension" storyline, Kon-El's counterpart on this world (a clone of Kara called "Supergrrl") wears a version of his costume, except that while Kon's outfit is split betwen blue and red with a point at around his navel, the blue part of hers goes all the way down to her crotch, creating a "swimsuit" effect, even though her legs are covered.
** ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfLightningLad'': Garth "Lightning Lad" Ranzz wears black trunks and orange leggings whereas his sister Ayla -Lightning Lass- Ranzz wears a blue short skirt.
** ''ComicBook/TheLegionOfSuperHeroes'': Unlike her male teammates, who wear pants, Saturn Girl wears a green skirt. Nonetheles, she will replace it with a full bodysuit after her first appearance.
** [[http://images.wikia.com/dcfanfiction/images/b/b6/129656-119888-powerboy.jpg Power Boy,]] the SpearCounterpart to ComicBook/PowerGirl, went from leotard to unitard in ''ComicBook/Supergirl2005''.
* In ComicBook/{{Thor|2014}}, Thor lost his ability to wield [[ThunderHammer Mjolnir]], leaving Jane Foster to take up his power herself. Jane's Thor costume, though very similar to the original's, lacks any covering on her upper shoulders. Thor's traditional outfit was also bare-armed, but Jane's shoulders are bare up to the neck. Also, she wears a BreastPlate which is very form fitting in the front.
* Franchise/WonderWoman
** Wondy's Earth-11 counterpart, Wonder Man aka Dane of Elysium, wore a more masculine version of her strapless leotard costume as a top with wide straps and a skirt of pteruges. Following ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' and Earth-11's replacement with Earth 11 her new counterpart "Wonderous Man" wears a long sleeve red shirt and long blue pants with stars on the hips under armor similar to Diana's own.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': When ComicBook/SteveTrevor twice gained temporary powers similar to Diana's and used the title Captain Wonder (he was brainwashed by Dr. Psycho when he chose the name) he wore a red shirt with long blue pants that had a line of stars down each side and a yellow mask with a red star in place of Diana's golden tiara.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* In the ''Fanfic/FacingTheFutureSeries'', Sam's ghost fighting costume is similar to Danny's (in fact, it was made from one of the suits he was wearing during his transformation), except most of the gloves except the middle fingers have been cut away, she replaced the collar and boots with her own, the midriff has been removed, and she wears a coat with laced sleeves.
* Averted in ''Fanfic/SolInvictus''. Luffy still has the trademark red vest and blue trousers of her male counterpart.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/HereThereBeMonsters'', Joyce Albright designs two superhero costumes resembling her husband's, Captain Midnight, but hers is clearly modeled after a female outfit.
-->Plus two new arrivals who had crashed the party and only gotten in by showing i.d.'s from the Secret Squadron.\\
They were wearing kind-of copies of Captain Midnight's uniform. Except the guy's was blue, with an eye-mask to round it out, and the girl's was, well, a girl's costume. At least it was red, like the original Cap's. He called himself Mister Midnight and she called herself Midnight Maid.
* ''Fanfic/CanonInG'': Aside from using the male and female school uniforms on the opposite characters, the story also adapts characters' signature outfits (particularly their expanded wardrobes from the 2006 show) as men's or women's clothing, though nothing is fanserviced up. Makoto has a military cap instead of hair ribbons, whereas Sayuri's hair bow becomes Satoru's tie.
* ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn'': At some point, the [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} main character]] complains that her suit is a version of her cousin's, except with a skirt instead of long pants.
-->"You wanted me to be your good little heroine, to do what you did with your life. My dad put me out there in that copy of your suit, with a skirt. I got the same name as you, except for the last four letters."
* In ''Fanfic/TheMUSHUVerse'', Inviso-Belle's suit is salmon and grey compared to Danny's black and white.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
* Phoebus and Esmeralda both wear matching white undergarments (an undershirt and a slip, respectively) at the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackofNotreDameDisney'', the former having somehow lost his armor after being knocked into a river shortly after betraying [[BigBad Frollo]] and saved from drowning by Esmeralda, while the latter due to her dress being destroyed by Frollo so that he can have her burned at the stake.
* In ''Franchise/TheIncredibles'', while all four Incredibles wear similar one-piece outfits with a contrasting "gloves, boots and briefs" motif, Helen and Violet's outfits have [[HighClassGloves opera "gloves"]], thigh-high "boots" and bikini-shaped "briefs".
* King Magnifico and Queen Amaya from ''WesternAnimation/Wish2023'' both wear white, blue, and gold outfits. Subverted, however, by the fact that [[LightisNotGood King Magnifico]] is the BigBad, while [[spoiler: Queen Amaya eventually betrays him and sides with protagonist Asha and her friends and help them defeat her own husband.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}''
** In the epilogue of ''Literature/MonstrousRegiment'', after the protagonist's status as a woman has been revealed and accepted [[spoiler:along with almost everyone else's]], she notes with some dissatisfaction that her new uniform comes with a skirt. She was perfectly okay with the pants.
** It's not stated in the books, but while the Ankh-Morpork City Watch uniform is generally drawn as having a bit of leather skirting over trousers, Angua is usually shown with enough skirting to make an actual skirt, and bare legs. The fact Cheery Littlebottom wears a skirt ''is'' specified in the books, although until her gender becomes publicly known, Vimes thinks of it as a kilt.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
*** Two Fourth Doctor companions get to wear girl versions of his outfit:
*** Sarah Jane ends up in a furry grey frock coat and a long, multicoloured striped scarf in shades of pink in "The Seeds of Doom".
** In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' story "Destiny of the Daleks", [[Characters/DoctorWhoClassicSeriesCompanions Romana II]] tried out several outfits/bodies in a CostumeTestMontage at the start of the first episode, which the [[Characters/DoctorWhoClassicSeriesDoctors Fourth Doctor]] all complained about. She ended up wearing clothes exactly like those worn by the Doctor, but pink and white.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' had the males wear shirts and pants while the females wore longed-sleeved uniforms with high miniskirts. This was then averted in later shows. Although the [[Film/StarTrek2009 2009 reboot]], naturally being faithful to the original series, brings the miniskirts back. The original pilot however actually had both men and women alike wearing pants (notably the original female first officer). Female extras in both the original series and the reboot movies can be seen wearing pants.
** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' made a brave attempt at a fully gender-neutral take on this with several male extras wearing a variant of the minidress uniform. It was a very forward-thinking take on gender presentation for the dawn of TheNineties, but ended up being phased out very quickly on the grounds that it looked equally silly on both sexes.
** Exaggerated in the MirrorUniverse. The women wear skirts and bikini tops in TOS and a midriff-baring version of the prime universe flight suits in ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise''. {{Justified}} by the Terran Empire being a somewhat chauvinistic society where "Captain's Woman" (read: mistress or concubine for the CO) is a staff position aboard ship.
* In ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' (and by extension ''Franchise/PowerRangers''), the designs of most female rangers don't differ that much from their male teammates, save for the addition of a skirt or a leotard-like pattern. Since the teams are all color-coded, the female rangers will usually wear pink and yellow, and occasionally white or blue as well. The skirts do serve a purpose, though. The Japanese stunt team that does most of the show's fight scenes is overwhelmingly male. The skirts are used to cover up the... anatomical differences that are obvious in skintight spandex.
** In ''Power Rangers'' this was avoided with the some of the early female Yellow Rangers, namely the ones in ''[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Mighty Morphin']]'', ''[[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Lost Galaxy]]'', ''[[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue Lightspeed Rescue]]'', ''[[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force]]'' and ''[[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Wild Force]]''. This was because the ''Super Sentai'' counterparts of those Rangers [[ShesAManInJapan were originally male]] and the suits in the American footage were kept unchanged to match the Japanese stock footage as much as possible.
** Whenever a ''Sentai'' team is part of a military or governmental organization, such as ''Series/ChourikiSentaiOhranger'', ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'' and ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters'', they almost always wear a uniform when not in ranger form. Said uniforms usually feature long pants for the men and skirts or shorts for the women. ''Power Rangers'' tends to avoid this, as the adaptation either doesn't feature a governmental organization or keeps the unmorphed uniforms the same for both genders.
** In ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'', Takeru Shiba (Shinken Red) is revealed to be a stand-in for a young girl named Kaoru, who is the real heir of the Shiba clan. When Kaoru takes Takeru's place as (Lady) Shinken Red, her outfit is almost identical aside for the addition of a skirt.
** In ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'', in addition to the usual costumes the Rangers have an armored Mega Mode. These lack skirts regardless of gender; instead girls have a different cut to their chestplate and a less scowl-y mouthplate (save Lauren, the counterpart of Kaoru from ''Shinkenger'' (above), who uses the male version of the Red Ranger helmet).
** Nowhere is this better emphasized than in ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger''. In this anniversary series, the team can transform into the forms of past rangers. When the female Gokaigers transform into the forms of past male rangers, their version of the suit almost always has a skirt. This causes some StockFootageFailure in the adaptation ''Series/PowerRangersSuperMegaforce''. As mentioned above, several male yellow rangers in ''Sentai'' were adapted into female characters in ''Power Rangers''. When yellow ranger Gia transforms into past ranger forms, several of her transformations feature a skirt, despite the original yellow rangers not having them.
** In the ''Series/RescueSentaiGoGoFive'' video special, Kyoko (the wannabe sixth member of Gogo Five) inherits the powers of guest hero Demon Hunter Zeek after he dies. When Kyoko transforms into Zeek-Jeanne, she wears a female version of the Zeektector armor with the helmet that shows the lower half of her face.
** ''Series/PowerRangersDinoFury'', lampshades this trope, as Green Ranger Izzy initially morphs with a skirt, matching the Pink Ranger, only to rip it off after noticing it (saying she doesn't like skirts), allowing her to match the male Green Ranger of ''Series/KishiryuSentaiRyusoulger''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''Anime/CardfightVanguard'': The Aqua Force clan is the most visible incarnation of this trope in the game. The naval uniform worn by the units are the practically the same except for one thing: men wear [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130718002222/cardfight/images/f/f2/Marine_General_of_the_Restless_Tides%2C_Algos_%28Full_Art%29.jpg typical]] [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120810005727/cardfight/images/8/88/TD07-015.jpg white]] [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140227123801/cardfight/images/b/b7/BT15-084.png slacks]], while the women wear [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140709150435/cardfight/images/9/98/Tear_Knight%2C_Valeria_%28Full_Art%29.png black]] [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120928183959/cardfight/images/d/d0/BT08-094_C.jpg compression]] [[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140227123805/cardfight/images/d/dc/BT15-088.png shorts.]]
* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': Imperial PowerArmor comes in two varieties: the huge ones used by the all-male Space Marines, and the smaller, thinner ones used by Sisters of Battle, both featuring exaggerated pauldrons and religious iconography. The Battle Sisters' power armor also features breastplates that are molded to resemble an actual bust, possibly to make clear that the Sisters are female and thus slip by the Ecclesiarchy's ban on having "men under arms".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Aion}}'' there is a certain questable suit of armor (available around lv30; getting the full set requires [[GuideDangIt repeating the quest with 5 or 6 different characters]]) which looks like a normal, full-body suit on male characters. For example: the one usable by cleric-types looks like a crimson [[BadassLongcoat Badass Longcoat]]. On female characters, any of these armor sets -- including the full-plate heavy set -- looks like a frilly pink dress.
* ''{{VideoGame/Arcanum}}'': While most items of clothing can be used by male and female characters, the female version has noticeable cleavage (admittedly justified in that you couldn't tell genders apart otherwise).
* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'', ''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos'', ''VideoGame/CapcomFightingEvolution'', and ''{{VideoGame/MUGEN}}'': All over the place with Dimitri's "Midnight Bliss" technique.[[labelnote:*]]For the uninitiated, Midnight Bliss is a technique in which Dimitri transforms an enemy into a female version of themselves (if they're already female, they just take another, often more fetishistic, form), grabs them, drains them of life, and sets them on fire. Sometimes, though, the outfits aren't merely gendered, but a completely different outfit entirely.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'' plays this trope perfectly straight for the most part. Discounting the nine gender-exclusive armor (five for males, four for females), almost every piece of armor in the game looks quite different on male and female characters. However, unlike most examples of this trope, the female ones aren't played for {{Fanservice}}, they're simply visually distinct from the male version. Its spiritual successor ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' and its sequels ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'' and ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' mostly do away with this, but it returns with a few outfits in ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}''.
** On the other hand there were a couple of particularly noticeable examples in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'', made more jarring ''because'' it was otherwise so uncommon. The [[https://darksouls.fandom.com/wiki/Desert_Sorceress_Set Desert Sorceress Set]] includes a Top that's basically a strapless leather bra when worn by women (which had a secondary effect of enhancing their bust size), but is a small leather chestplate with a strap that goes over the left shoulder on men, while the Skirt gives the men standard knee-high boots while the women get thigh-highs with lace trimming and high heels. Also the [[https://darksouls.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Witch_Trousers Black Witch Trousers]] (prominently worn by NPC Manhunter O'Harrah) appears as trousers with flat slippers when worn by a man, but a pencil miniskirt with high heels on a woman. Interestingly, when you wear the full Black Witch Set the difference is invisible because the Black Witch Robe completely covers the player's legs, but [[MsFanservice O'Harrah]] only wears the Trousers.
* In ''VideoGame/DisgaeaDimension2'', [[http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/File:DD2_Laharl.jpg Laharl]] is transformed into a female version of himself named [[http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/File:Laharl_chan.png "Laharl-chan."]] Her outfit is very similar to the male version, except with longer pants (they're slightly ripped at the thighs instead of completely ripped off at the shins), slimmer shoes, and a bra covering what was the male version's bare chest.
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series provides several examples:
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]:'' Initially averted, but once the ''Tribunal'' expansion is installed, the cuirass piece of certain armor types (netch leather and steel, amongst others) now become much more form fitting on female characters with a different model.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]:'' True for armor and clothing. One can take a dress off of a dead female character, put it on their male character, and suddenly it is a suit with pants. The "Huntsman's Leather Vest" in particular switches between [[WalkingShirtlessScene an open waistcoat]] or a FurBikini (which is smaller than the default underwear) depending on the gender of the wearer.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'': The very same piece of clothing or armor will change drastically in appearance when equipped onto male or female characters. The most infamous example being the much-sought-after [[ImpossiblyLowNeckline "Tavern Clothes"]].
* ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' and ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' alter clothing based on gender. For example, you can find pre-War businesswear, which gives bonuses for speech checks. On male characters it has trousers, while on female characters it has a short skirt, but is otherwise a modest cut. Especially noticable in ''New Vegas''[='s=] ''Dead Money'' DLC, in which Vera Keyes' dress (which increases barter, speech, and charisma as well as offering slight protection) becomes a tail coat with the same color scheme if work by a male Courier.
* In ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', the standard Chaldea uniform will include pants for males, but skirts and tights for females (with an extra strap on the shirt under the breasts). Between the optional costumes for the two protagonists, female Ritsuka will often have skirts, shorts, crop tops or dresses.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** In the remake of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'', Refia's Job outfits are sometimes at-odds with the three boys of the group, such as with the [[http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/a/ab/FF3-Thief.png Thief,]] [[http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/a/a8/FF3-Summoner.png Summoner,]] and [[http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/b/b9/FF3-Ninja.png Ninja.]] It's not hard to pick her out of the lineup.
** It's similar with ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyThe4HeroesOfLight'', which is gender-split 50-50.
** And certain jobs in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV''. Though save for the White Mage, Black Mage, Dancer, and Mystic Knight jobs, [[{{Bifauxnen}} Faris]] will wear the male version of said outfit.
** Downplayed in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'', where many outfits look the same regardless of gender, ''including'' the stripperiffic subligar sets. When the outfits do have gendered variations the most that tends to happen is the spontaneous generation of ZettaiRyouiki.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has most gear look the same on either gender (which means you can have {{Stripperific}} men and entirely-covered women if you wish), but there are some exceptions. Bliauds, for instance, have a low-cut collar on women, while men wear a shirt underneath, and leg gear designated as "bottoms" is usually trousers on men and a short skirt + tall socks on women. Certain artifact gear, such as ARR's Dragoon armor, also has some notable changes, like [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine baring the midriff on female characters]]. Likewise, racial starter gear are different between genders. Some glamour-only pieces are also gender-locked so that a piece that is "designed for female/male characters" can't be worn by the other sex (this seems to happen most with swimsuits and formalwear).
* [[http://www.game-art-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Capcom-vs.-SNK-2-Character-Artwork-SNK-Style-Maki-Genryusai.jpg Maki]] from ''VideoGame/FinalFight 2'' wears a female version of the [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080515042832/streetfighter/images/e/e4/GuySFA.jpg Bushin gi]] that serves as [[Characters/FinalFight Guy]]'s standard outfit.
* Played with in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'': Female and male units of the same class generally wear about the same amount of actual armor, but the clothes worn underneath tend to be more revealing on the ladies.
* In ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'', Girlfriend's parents both wear a black jacket and black boots. On Daddy Dearest, he wears a full jacket and the boots are part of his LongPants, while on Mommy Mearest they're instead a skin-tight jacket and thigh boots with garter straps attached.
* In ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'', the region of Fontaine (France) has a police force called the Gardes: both men and women Gardes wear knee-high boots and a tall hat, but the men's outfit consists of a long-sleeved jacket and trousers, where the women wear a one-piece tunic which functions like a combination jacket and skirt. Additionally, the men carry batons, while the women are unarmed.
* In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters: [[AlternateContinuity Maximum Impact]] 2'' and ''[[UpdatedRerelease Regulation A]]'', SecretCharacter Lilly Kane wears a modified version of her brother Billy's garb from pre-''Real Bout VideoGame/FatalFury'' and ''KOF '95''. Key differences between their attire includes Lilly wearing a white tank top under her overalls, said overalls having a heart-shaped window (revealing the aforementioned tank top), and her pants being shorts instead of Billy's jeans.
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'':
** Link's Champion tunic is blue and coupled with beige pants. The outfit Zelda is mostly seen in has her own tunic in the same shade, but with more elaborate [[GoldAndWhiteAreDivine gold and white]] embroidery to give it a blouse-like appearance. The Champion's Ballad DLC reveals that all of the Champions' blue pieces were made by Zelda herself, so it's implied that her outfit is meant to coordinate by her own design.
** The other Champions play this part as well. The male Revali uses his blue Champion's fabric as a scarf, while the female Urbosa uses it as a skirt. Played with in the cases of Daruk and Mipha, who both wear the fabric as a sash.
* ''VideoGame/MapleStory'' and its [[VideoGame/Maplestory2 sequel]] are a pretty clear example. Most of the armor kits in the games come in both male and female versions, although gender-neutral options do exist. The male pieces will usually look more standard, while the female counterparts will feature elements like skirts, shorts, heels, dresses, or openings that reveal skin.
* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'': The franchise has male and female versions of each outfit. Female versions tend to be more figure hugging, sport fewer SpikesOfDoom, and sometimes have things like skirts or heels or other gendered characteristics. Some also expose a lot more skin.
* Thoroughly averted in ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2''. All the female characters wear pants, shirts, and jackets, and once you factor in the masks and heavier armor, it's impossible for a person who isn't familiar with the game to differentiate them from the male characters.
* In ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', the male and female choices for the Pokémon Trainer player class are like this for ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'', ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'', the remakes of Gen I and the ''VideoGame/PokemonRanger'' spinoff series. Also other trainer classes that are essentially gendered counterparts usually have this, such as Cool Trainers and Picnickers/Campers.
** The [[{{Mooks}} Grunts]] of the regional teams also typically have different outfits depending on gender, even if on occasion it isn't particularly noticeable at a glance.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon|1}}'', female Inklings wear shorter shorts than males. Other than that though, almost all of the equipable clothing averts this, being identical between genders save for some minor form tweaking here and there for some. Only a few outfits show remarkable differences between genders, such as the Octoling Armor having slight [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine bare midriffs on female Inklings]] (though [[SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains not nearly as much as with the Octolings themselves]]), the female School Uniform having a color-matching skirt, and the male version of the ''Manga/SquidGirl'' Tunic being a sleeveless shirt instead of the original dress. ''VideoGame/Splatoon3'' deemphasizes gender, with outfits that altered based on gender in the previous games instead giving both options as separate items.
* [[Characters/StreetFighterII Cammy]] wears a [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8bboYCEIv2I/TJzcqZ5jYoI/AAAAAAAACK8/C_23dRQ7dBI/s1600/Cos_ssfiv_002.jpg gendered version of Bison's uniform]] as a downloadable costume in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV''.
** Also, all the Delta Red members (which consists of three males and another girl besides Cammy) that appear at the end of ''Super Street Fighter II'' wear the same uniform as Cammy's.
* The original ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'' approaches this in a relatively realistic way; while men and women of the Gallian military ''technically'' wear different uniforms, the outfits for both genders consist of conservative (if somewhat colorful) [[http://valkyria.wikia.com/wiki/File:Wavy.png military]] [[http://valkyria.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ramona_Linton.png fatigues]] which only differ from each other in some minor cosmetic details. In fact, of the thirty female members of Squad 7, only three (Alicia, Isara, and Rosie) wear a skirt of any kind.
** ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChroniclesII'' plays it somewhat straighter; though female units wear skirts instead of pants, their uniforms are otherwise functionally identical to the males'. This is partly justified by the entire playable cast basically being high school students.
** ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles4'' plays with the trope. The Alliance military uniform is the same for both genders, being sensible combat fatigues. That said, there's a considerable difference in fit and sizing between the men's and women's uniforms. Due to a paperwork snafu [[spoiler:or rather, her paperwork not reflecting reality]], Kai is sent a men's uniform when Squad E receive critically-necessary winter uniforms. A too-large, too-broad insulated uniform would be just get in the way in the field, so makes do with just the cloak, layers of her own clothing, and a teammate's spare thermals.
* ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'': The different clothing and armour options change appearance quite drastically depending on the player character's clan and gender. What looks like a kevlar vest on a male Ventrue becomes a ''stripper cop outfit'' on a female Malkavian.
* Take a piece of chest armor in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''. Put it on a male human. It covers his entire torso. Now, have the male human take the armor off, and give it to a female human. The exact same piece of armor that was just shown obscuring the torso of the male is now inexplicably baring her midriff. This tend to be more common (and more often Exaggerated) with older armor models, but it does pop up sometimes with the newer armor sets. Breastplates for female characters feature defined breasts, and are frequently much shorter than on the male models of the same race (though this is frequently subverted for Night Elf males). Leg armor is also commonly shorter on female character models. It is however definitely possible to make absolutely {{Stripperific}} male costumes. Alternatively, there are cosmetic-only shirts available for those who do not wish to bare skin.
** Some chestpieces are also more revealing on a male character than on female characters. A harness that will simply have a strap across the chest of a male character will include a bra for a female character. This is mainly due to a technological limitation: the supposed armor is just a texture which ''actually replaces'' the underwear the character normally has on when stripped of gear. The other big difference is with shoulders, in general the male characters have absurdly huge shoulder armor while the female characters do not.
** However, other types of gendering in clothing do not happen. If you put a dress on a male character it doesn't turn into a suit, and the formal suits don't have skirts on female characters. Some of the cultures do have distinctly gendered standards of dress, but most do not. There are also skirts available on all armor types, and most cloth sets also have trousers as an option. Cosmetic jewelry is also retained on male characters, although they have less jewelry by default. Fans, flowers, and other "girly" accessories with gameplay purposes are also not changed for male characters, nor are ultra-masculine ones changed for female characters (except for being scaled down to fit their models).

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* ''{{Webcomic/Homestuck}}''. Averted. All god tiered players in the same class wear the same style of clothing. Compare a [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mspaintadventures/images/d/dd/GodTierDave.png/revision/latest?cb=20120728151447 male knight]] and a [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mspaintadventures/images/0/05/LatulaGodTier.png/revision/latest?cb=20160512205629 female knight,]] to a [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mspaintadventures/images/7/70/KankriGodTier.png/revision/latest?cb=20160511174449 male seer]] and a [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mspaintadventures/images/a/ae/Godtierrose.png/revision/latest?cb=20120319084152 female seer.]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': Fionna, Finn's female counterpart, wears a skirt instead of shorts and a bunny-eared hat instead of a bear-eared one.
* WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom's OppositeSexClone Dani Phantom wears a different version of his black and white jumpsuit with baggier sleeves and legs with a [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine bare midriff]] and a touch of FashionableAsymmetry. It's not a particularly sexier version considering Dani is [[YoungerThanTheyLook physically]] 12-years-old.
* In the ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse'', ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} wore a white t-shirt and blue skirt in contrast to ComicBook/{{Superman}}'s classic outfit. This outfit later became canonized in the comics.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': The genderbent versions of the Loud siblings from the Season 1 episode "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS1E23OneOfTheBoysATattlersTale One of the Boys]]" wear modified versions of the originals' outfits in accordance to gender (except Leon, who just wears a diaper like Lily prior to Season 5). Even the counterparts to the sisters who don't wear relatively feminine clothing, including Lynn, Lana and Lisa, bear notable differences.
** Loki wears sneakers in contrast to Lori's slip-ons, his tank top is noticeably oversized to an extent, and his shorts appear to be of a looser type than Lori's cargo-like ones.
** Whereas Leni has a turquoise dress, Loni has a sweater with that color, alongside a dress shirt, formal pants and brown dress shoes that contrast Leni's sandals.
** Luna's skirt is replaced with pants for Luke, with a color change from light purple to black. Luke's T-shirt also has less cropped sleeves than Luna's, and he notably wears a jean vest, something not present in Luna's outfit.
** Luan's counterpart Lane changes her tank top and skirt to a short-sleeved dress shirt and shorts with suspenders.
** The male version of Lynn Jr. (who has the same name as her) wears a different jersey with short sleeves in place of long ones and a 0 that replaces female Lynn's 1.
** Lucy's black dress, striped tank top and arm warmers get changed to a T-shirt over a striped long-sleeved shirt for Lars, with the addition of jeans and sneakers in contrast to Lucy's slip-ons.
** Lana's T-shirt is removed from Leif, and her overalls' legs are shortened for him. Plus, Leif's backwards baseball cap has a wider hole than Lana's.
** Lola and Lexx have the most contrasting outfits overall. Whereas Lola dresses in a pink princess dress with opera gloves, a sash and tiara, Lexx has a crown, white shirt, greyish-blue pants and brown short gloves and boots, with the pink being relegated to just a cape. Lexx's concept design retained the pink color for his whole attire, though.
** Levi's white lab coat and green gloves take place of Lisa's green sweater.
** In place of Lincoln's polo and jeans, Linka wears a blouse and skirt, and although she wasn't seen with footwear in the episode, concept art shows that she would wear slip-ons rather than Lincoln's sneakers.
* Franchise/ThePowerpuffGirls' Spear Counterparts, the Rowdyruff Boys, are another rare male example. Skirts and hair ribbons become pants, shorts, hats and ponytails between the two genders.
* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'': Miss Martian wears her same t-shirt and skirt from the comics. In the second season her default outfit changes to one with pants that only leaves her hands and face uncovered.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* Commonly downplayed in practice by school, law-enforcement, military, or other uniforms which ''permit'' female members to wear a skirt instead of trousers but do not usually ''require'' it (however, as usual with uniforms, the choice may not be up to the individual wearing the uniform, but to their boss).
** This is currently the case for National Park Service Rangers in the United States, but for [[AudienceAlienatingEra an infamous period]] in TheSeventies, the uniforms for female Rangers included [[https://www.nps.gov/articles/breeches-blouses.htm tan-colored minidresses, go-go boots, and red smocks.]] After numerous employee complaints, they got to wear the standard uniform and peak hats in TheEighties.
* Used as LoopholeAbuse to ''hilarious'' effect in Sweden. Train conductors were forbidden from wearing shorts, despite the scorching heat, so men began wearing ''skirts'' on the job, daring their employer to try and do something about it. If skirts are banned for men, it's sexist. [[XanatosGambit If skirts are banned for EVERYONE, it's ALSO sexist.]]
* Traditionally the University of Oxford had two versions of its formal [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-19038488 subfusc]] clothing, for men and women. Since 2012, there are still two versions, but no restrictions on who can wear either.
* High school or college cheerleading squad uniforms could have a sleeveless shirt and pants format for men while the women wear skirts with a midriff bearing top or tank top.
* British hospitals have their staff's uniforms [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience colour-coded to denote rank and department]]. In at least one county, this requires Healthcare Assistants (roughly equivalent to a Nurse's Aide in the US) to wear tunics that are coloured salmon pink. Not every male HCA is confident enough in their ''machismo'' to be comfortable with this, so the male uniform is a plain white tunic with epaulettes in the colour of the equivalent female uniform. More subtly, the female nurse's uniform tunic is long enough to act as a short dress while the male version is intended to be worn tucked into a pair of trousers.
