Changed line 213 from:
* On ''GilligansIsland'', Gilligan, the Skipper, and the Professor almost always wore the same stuff outside of [[DreamSequence dream sequences]] and the like. Mary Ann, by contrast, had a variety of outfits, and the wardrobes of both Ginger and the Howells were virtually [[UnlimitedWardrobe unlimited]].

Added line 198:
**Even the male characters weren't exempt from the trope: Vint was always seen wearing tan or beige, and Bubba always wore green. It's also worth mentioning that in the ''Mama's Family'' reunion episode of Vicki Lawrence's talk show, Beverly Archer (who played Iola) said she never wanted to see pink again as long as she lived.
reason: did wear bracers in first volume

Changed line 99 from:
* The anime of ''[=~Ranma ½~=]'', compared to the manga, has a much smaller wardrobe for the characters, and for more secondary characters like Ryoga and Mousse, changes in costume were usually reserved for special episodes. While special outfits still showed up (for example, a Chinese "Maoist" uniform that Ranma used for fancy attire, or various forms of dress for disguising his female form), they were often used repeatedly. Ranma Saotome, himself, was almost always seen in a [[SleevesAreForWimps sleeveless]] Chinese shirt and bracers (which he actually never wore in the manga), undershirt and long Chinese pants in the everday anime (with pre-curse flashbacks invariably showing him in a gi like his father), whereas manga-Ranma almost never wore the same thing twice. Part of the reason for this might have been budget issues, which actually got the anime cancelled briefly (a second company picked it up after the end of season 1, hence why it ends on a RecapEpisode).

Added line 122:
* Played straight with Banjō, Toppo and Garrison in {{Daitarn 3}}; averted for the two [[strike:bond girls]] female sidekicks. Also, [[DefiedTrope defied]] in episode 20: [[spoiler:[[EvilRedhead Koros]] captures both Beauty and Reika, turns them into Meganoids and sics them on Banjō. Banjō kills them both, then explains that he noticed "Beauty" and "Reika" are wearing different clothes than the ones they left home with, and therefore are two female Meganoids disguised as Beauty and Reika, who indeed are still being held captive by Koros.]])

Changed line 99 from:
* Happened gradually over the course of ''[=~Ranma ½~=]''. Early on the anime matches the manga costume-for-costume (Akane in particular being quite the fashion plate). By the seventh season, even Ranma's favorite ''disguise'' was always the same pink dress (and Ry?ga ''still'' couldn't figure it out).
** Even before that, almost anyone that usually wore clothes normal people wouldn't (martial arts clothing, foreign clothing) followed this trope, though with some, like Ry?ga, it's quite possibly those really are their only set of clothes. Ranma is one of the only fighters that has more than one outfit (he wears a red or yellow shirt with the same blue pants and a green set as semi-formalwear in the anime - manga has a much larger selection of clothes).

Changed line 195 from:
* Clark in ''{{Smallville}}'' wears a red jacket over a blue shirt 95% of the time, as an homage to his [[{{Superman}} future superhero identity's colors.]] In fact, one of the dead giveaways to the viewer that an evil alien close was masquerading as him was that the clone was wearing those colors inverted.

Added line 274:
** Mega-Girl. the only thing Marty ever wears is her super-suit. Phase found out she studies in it. Not only does she have very few clothes, but the more she wears her suit (it's a psychokinetic construct), the more it gives her the MostCommonSuperpower.

Added line 61:
*** I think I heard from somewhere that students rarely have spare uniforms, so I'm guessing those things ''have'' to be easy to take care of. After all, it's not like she wants to pack extra clothing and weigh down that massive backpack even more.

Added line 225:
* The members of the Cartwright family, the protagonists of ''Bonanza,'' always wore the same outfit, to enable the show to reuse stock footage of them riding and that kind of thing. A live action version of something found more often in cheap animation. (Or So I Read.)

*** Because the clothes didn't turn invisible, she had to take them off before going on.

Changed line 238 from:
* Characters in ''FireEmblem'' keep one outfit threw out the game (with the exception of lord class changes), this is justifed with characters who are wearing armor and other uniforms (and the Griel mercenaries are implied not to be able to afford anymore), but defectors still wear the colors of the enemy after they join you, but there is really no reason for Ilyana to change only a cape over a [[http://serenesforest.net/media/fe9illust/s/Ilyana.jpg 4 year period]] [[http://serenesforest.net/media/fe10illust/e/ilyana_en.png period]].

Changed line 240 from:
* {{Mario}} and crew all wear the same outfit all the time -- even when swimming. There are a few exceptions, such as Dr. Mario having his white lab coat. Peach -- and the other Princesses -also have a shorts and T-shirt ensamble for sports, a jumpsuit for riding motorcycles, AND a set of Strikers armor (because soccer in the Mushroom Kingdom is just that vicious).
