** Twelfth Doctor:Twelve, by contrast, possesses arguably the most diverse set of outfits over the course of his run that do ''not'' follow a single theme. Rather notably for a new series Doctor, he never wears the same combination of clothes twice in different stories.
*** His original getup was inspired by a magician's outfit: an austere ensemble with navy blue Crombie coat (with red lining for a splash of colour), dark blue button-up cardigan, black trousers, black Loakes boots (often mistaken for Doc Martens), and a white shirt buttoned all the way up. He also wears a signet ring (although that's because Creator/PeterCapaldi refuses to remove his wedding ring for roles, so they covered it with something more Gallifreyan). He mixes it up a bit in his first series, wearing different shirts or a holey jumper with the Crombie coat as his signature clothing article.

* When Angus Deayton presented ''Series/HaveIGotNewsForYou'', one running gag in the 1990s - discussed also in the spin-off book - was his brown suits.

** Fourteenth Doctor: Because of his casting and story arc, he wears an outfit evocative, but distinctly a variant of, the Tenth Doctor's attire. He wears tartan patterned trousers rather than pinstriped, primarily in blue with hints of purple. He has a matching patterned high-lapelled waistcoat with a plain white dress shirt and a rather subdued grey tie, topped by a dark blue peacoat rather than the brown trenchcoat Ten normally wore.

** The Twelfth Doctor, by contrast, possesses arguably the most diverse set of outfits over the course of his run that do ''not'' follow a single theme. Rather notably for a new series Doctor, he never wears the same combination of clothes twice in different stories.

** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E1TheWomanWhoFellToEarth "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"]], the Thirteenth Doctor spends at least several days, possibly up to a ''week'', wearing the remains of Twelve's clothing before it is suggested to her that she get some new clothes. She finally settles on what, in her first season, is her most unchanging costume since the Davies era, consisting of a blue T-shirt with a multi-coloured stripe across the chest (in what is a close approximation to the colours of Four's scarf), high-waisted blue trousers, yellow braces, a long lilac overcoat, and hiking boots. In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E3Rosa "Rosa"]], she wears a purple variant of the blue rainbow T-shirt she chose, and in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E1E2Spyfall "Spyfall"]] a black tie tuxedo-themed version of her whole outfit, suggesting the TARDIS wardrobe helpfully created some spares. She sometimes also wears a zip-up hoodie between the T-shirt and overcoat, and wears comically oversized safety goggles (and occasionally a full welding mask) while doing sciencey stuff.

** Second Doctor: Typical Cosmic Hobo apparel. Most often a rumpled frock coat, baggy checked trousers and bowtie.

** Third Doctor: Very much a dandy. Tended towards black trousers and velvet smoking jackets of various colours, with ruffled shirts and a scarlet-lined black cape. In his first season, he wore a black jacket: the shift to coloured jackets came as his relationship with [=UNIT=] became cosier and the general tone of the show lighter.
** Fourth Doctor: Mostly in earth tones. His most recognizable image was of a long brown, gray or burgundy coat (though for his first season he wore a short corduroy jacket), various waistcoats (though for his first season he wore a cardigan), a wide-brimmed felt fedora, buccaneer boots, and ridiculously long scarves (at least one of them knitted, according to the Doctor, by Madame Nostradamus). In the final season of his tenure, the variations ceased and he wore a much more stylized burgundy version of his traditional costume — still with the long scarf but now with breeches, a heavier, longer burgundy greatcoat, and the first appearance of stylized question marks on his shirt collar. The later costume was supposed to emphasise the slightly "darker" tone of the episodes.

** Sixth Doctor: A garish, clashing outfit of black and yellow striped trousers, a multicoloured waistcoat, and a patchwork coat which defies description. The production notes for the series at the time specified a "totally tasteless costume". Newer webcasts and remakings of older episodes have replaced the amazing technicolor dreamcoat into a more muted (and more easily drawn) blue ensemble which has proven popular with fans who thought the striking colours distracting.

** Seventh Doctor: Checked tweed trousers, a red, yellow and green pullover decorated in question marks, a cream colored coat with a paisley scarf, brown-and-cream brogues ("wingtips" to American tropers), a black umbrella with the handle in the shape of a red question mark, and a Panama hat. Later on in his tenure the colours of his costume became much darker; his jacket and hatband all became dark brown. In his final appearance he wore a more formal costume with a red velvet waistcoat and tweed jacket, but retained the checked trousers and Panama hat.

** Tenth Doctor: Converse trainers in various colours, a brown suit with blue pinstripes, and some combination of various shirts and ties or, less frequently, no tie and a T-shirt underneath. Often complemented with a long brown wool trench coat he claims to have been a present from Janis Joplin. In his second and third seasons, he gains a new suit with a reversed colour scheme — blue with red pinstripes. During these seasons he regularly switches back and forth between the two suits.

*** Tweed jacket with a dickie bow tie, braces, rolled up black trousers and black boots. He tends to swap his bow-tie and braces for either a red or blue herringbone set. After alternating two differently-coloured but otherwise identical designer herringbone shirts for his first season, he switched to an assortment of white shirts with different patterns for his second.
*** In series seven, Eleven switched to a much more elaborate Victorian-style three-piece suit and overcoat (reminiscent of the First Doctor's garb) during and after his [[AchillesInHisTent self-imposed alone time]]. Although he still wore a bow tie.

* Most of the characters in ''Series/MaidMarianAndHerMerryMen'', from Royals to peasants, have only one outfit, though Marian and the Merry Men themselves get two wardrobe upgrades — after the third episode of the first series they begin dressing mainly in green to "coordinate with the trees," and from the second season on their outfits have become more detailed, distinct and individual. The one exception to the trope is Robin, who has lots of outfits, and from the second season onwards seldom wears the same one two episodes in a row. Then again, this incarnation of RobinHood is a tailor by trade, so it makes sense that he would avert the trope.

* ''Series/{{Degrassi}}'' doesn't use this for most characters, but Connor wears the same outfit every day. (He turns out to have Asperger's Syndrome.)
** This included one of the few non-comedic closets (well, OK, a suitcase) full of identical clothes.
** When in middle school, Clair wore a school uniform, and continued wearing it for a while in high school.

* ''Series/APBio'': While the actual items differ from day to day, Jack almost always wears a cardigan sweater over a casual shirt and sweatpants to "teach" his class.

* Saga Norén in ''Series/BronBroen'' practically always wears what may or may not be the same pair of black leather trousers, usually with a black jumper on top. She's more than a little autistic and would quite plausibly have several sets of identical garments.

-->'''Keeley:''' ''[imitating Roy]'' I'm Roy Kent. Why do I have to go shopping? I already own a black shirt and jeans.

* ''Series/TedLasso'': AFC Richmond kit manager Nate Shelley is always seen wearing the team's official warm up tracksuit. Coach Beard eventually asks him if they're the only clothes he owns, and Nate tells him that he actually has three sets of the clothes.

* In ''PersonOfInterest'', John Reese is known as "The Man in the Suit," because he almost always wears a black suit with a white dress shirt, with the top two buttons open. (Harold Finch, by contrast, is something of a dandy, wearing a different (elegant and expensive) outfit almost every episode.)

* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': The crew almost always wear their standard uniforms, without variation, no matter what situation they're in. Whether they're exploring a tropical jungle, surveying an icy tundra, entertaining diplomats or going on a commando raid, they'll be wearing the exact same outfits. Sometimes they even sleep in them. Very rarely we'll see them wearing their dress uniforms, and this was mostly in [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness season one]].
* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': Starfleet officers tend to wear their uniforms no matter what they're doing, though we see civilian garb more often than we did in ''The Next Generation''. Worf in particular will never shed his uniform, and the showrunners admitted that they didn't want to establish what a Klingon torso looks like.
* ''Series/StarTrekPicard'': In Season 1, the only time Elnor is dressed in something other than his Qowat Milat robe (or its sleeveless variation) is his Freecloud disguise.

** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E1TheWomanWhoFellToEarth "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"]], the Thirteenth Doctor spends at least several days, possibly up to a ''week'', wearing the remains of Twelve's clothing before it is suggested to her that she get some new clothes. She finally settles on what, in her first season, is her most unchanging costume since the Davies era, consisting of a blue T-shirt with a multi-coloured stripe across the chest (in what is a close approximation to the colours of Four's scarf), high-waisted blue trousers, yellow braces, a long lilac overcoat, and hiking boots. In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E3Rosa "Rosa"]], she wears a purple variant of the blue rainbow T-shirt she chose, suggesting the TARDIS wardrobe helpfully created some spares. She sometimes also wears a zip-up hoodie between the T-shirt and overcoat, and wears comically oversized safety goggles (and occasionally a full welding mask) while doing sciencey stuff.

* Charlie from ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyinPhiladelphia'' more than any of the other main cast members, wears the same clothes over and over, emphasizing his poverty. In one episode he states that he repairs his old clothes rather than buy anything new. Notable favorites include his black and red horse t-shirt, green army jacket and long thermal underwear— he also wears the same undersized brown-and-black necktie when a situation calls for formal attire. Some of these clothes are Charlie Day's actual property.

* The titular protagonist of ''Series/TheMandalorian'' always goes around in his Mando armor and helmet. (This is the way.) Also, his little green ward always wears the same beige Jedi-esque robe.

** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E1TheWomanWhoFellToEarth "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"]], the Thirteenth Doctor spends at least several days, possibly up to a ''week'', wearing the remains of Twelve's clothing before it is suggested to her that she get some new clothes. She finally settles on what, in her first season, is her most unchanging costume since the Davies era, consisting of a blue T-shirt with a multi-coloured stripe across the chest (in what is a close approximation to the colours of Four's scarf), high-waisted blue trousers, yellow braces, a long fawn overcoat, and hiking boots. In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E3Rosa "Rosa"]], she wears a purple variant of the blue rainbow T-shirt she chose, suggesting the TARDIS wardrobe helpfully created some spares. She sometimes also wears a zip-up hoodie between the T-shirt and overcoat, and wears comically oversized safety goggles (and occasionally a full welding mask) while doing sciencey stuff.
