Basic Trope: Character rejects the nudity taboo.
- Straight:
- Alice understands what clothing is, understands that nudity makes some people uncomfortable, but still doesn't wear clothing.
- Alice dislikes clothing, and only wears it when absolutely required. She has no qualms about removing her clothing the second she can get away with it.
- Alice is inhuman enough that she has a differing nudity taboo, and is fiercely upset when humans attempt to enforce their own cultural beliefs on her species.
- Exaggerated:
- Alice never wears clothing, even when pressed. She will go to great lengths to avoid getting dressed, such as remaining in private or only leaving at night.
- For some reason, Alice is allowed to go around naked in public everywhere and happily does so.
- Alice is a national or business leader who is known for her nudity at official events.
- Alice has never worn clothes, even underwear, at any time in her life.
- Not only Alice reject the nudity taboo, but she even thinks clothes and the nudity taboo are heinously evil too.
- Alice's parents, Carol and Charlie, as well as all in their entire extended families, reject the nudity taboo as well. Meanwhile, Alice is raising her own children, Daniel and Denise, to live naked.
- Downplayed:
- Alice is well known to strip naked the second she can, but this very infrequently comes up, as she begrudgingly dresses in public and always at the last minute. The most we hear about it is her complaining about having to be dressed.
- Alice is well known to refuse to wear clothes, but she is only seen in passing, or never at all. It never becomes a plot point.
- Alice wears clothes like everyone else, but during personal time, she prefers to relax without them, usually in private.
- Alice does have a nudity taboo, but what clothes she does wear are... lacking.
- Alice is fine with clothing. It's underwear she hates.
- Alice has no nudity taboo. It comes up rarely: she is an Action Girl wearing realistic body armor and/or load-bearing equipment and/or a gillie suit. If not for her being the only character wearing a barely legal stripperiffic outfit during the Breather Episode (and even then, not when it's snowing or otherwise impractical), triumphantly posing for photographs in front of local monuments or statues, and walking around town with an exaggerated hip sway, winking playfully at anyone she caught staring at her, you'd never know exactly how stupid she found our nudity taboo.
- Alice prefers to wear somewhat revealing clothing in a culture whose standards of modesty are different; everyone but she considers what she's wearing to be basically considered Fully-Clothed Nudity.
- Alice likes being naked in public but gets self-conscious and offended when harassed or mocked and reacts aggressively if someone attempts to grope her.
- Alice enjoys being naked around her family and friends, but hates being seen nude by strangers or her enemies.
- Alternatively, Alice is a closet exhibitionist who enjoys being seen naked by strangers but would kill to prevent her family or friends from knowing her fetish.
- Whenever stripped naked in public, Alice is only upset that she lost her expensive clothes and risks a public indecency charge. She is apathetic to or amused by everyone actually seeing her naked.
- Alice is usually delighted to go naked in public, but when around certain people such as children, she hurries to cover herself up.
- Alice is fine with being seen nude, but objects to having photos or videos of her taken.
- Alice is seen nude by the audience Once per Episode at most. When somebody else catches sight of her naked (whether accidental or not), she's quick to assure them she doesn't mind being seen nude.
- Alice likes wearing very revealing clothes in public, but hate being completely naked.
- Alice mildly blushes when she is naked at best, but has no urge to cover herself up.
- Justified:
- Alice has immense amounts of self-esteem and is unafraid of her body.
- Alice was raised with some form of societal taboo against clothing. She is as uncomfortable at the sight of clothed people as they are of her.
- Alice is difficult to embarrass or shame with taboos in general, so she doesn't care about the nudity taboo either.
- Alice has Vestiphobia, the crippling fear of clothing, and she is genuinely uncomfortable wearing anything.
- Alice is really Charlie, has Just Woke Up That Way, and has typical male beliefs on female clothing (as well as a limited feminine wardrobe).
- Alice is an exhibitionist, or a streaker.
- Alice is an extreme Proud Beauty who loves to show off her figure in all its glory, and so she can boast about the (alleged, at least) effect it has on the men around her.
- Alice grew up in a culture where being naked (at least by the standards of the setting) is normal (at least for women), and doesn't see why she should give up her culture's norms to fit in.
- Alice is a shapeshifter who can't transform along with her clothing, so has given up bothering to wear any.
- Alice is a famous pornographic actress. Most adults have seen her nude, and she considers her nudity to be free advertising.
- Alice used to be a Reluctant Fanservice Girl, but decided to accept her nudity and reclaim her pride.
- Alice was cursed with a Clingy Costume for years; she is so relieved to take it off now that she doesn’t care if anyone else sees.
- Being naked is what gives Alice superpowers, magic, or at least access to a Clarke's Third Law-compatible technology.
- Inverted:
- Alice refuses to get undressed outside of very specific situations, usually in between changing outfits. She wears extremely inappropriate clothing, usually several layers more than appropriate (winter wear during summer, for example) at all times.
- Alice is the only person wearing clothes in a clothes-free society (nudist, tribal, alien, et cetera), and is violently opposed to Going Native. The rest of her society sees her as eccentric.
- Reluctant Fanservice Girl
- Gender Inverted: Bob understands what clothing is, understands that nudity makes some people uncomfortable, but still doesn't wear clothing.
- Subverted:
- Alice is violently forced to dress, by a person, the elements, et cetera, et cetera...
- We hear Alice is rather shameless, but when accidentally stripped, she blushes and covers up shyly.
- Alice has swapped bodies with her Arch-Enemy Brittany, who is eager to destroy Alice’s reputation.
- Double Subverted:

- Alice is delighted that Brittany had fulfilled her exhibitionist desires she was previously too scared to fulfil and attempts to swap bodies back with a reluctant Brittany.
- Parodied:
- Alice's nudity is played up as a political campaign. She is frequently seen protesting outside of clothing stores, handing out pamphlets, and giving speeches on how important it is to stop the clothing menace.

- Alice insists on going around naked in public, but is otherwise a Shrinking Violet who hates talking to people or being noticed.
- Zig-Zagged:
- Alice only wears clothing when absolutely required, and the sight of her disrobing in bars, at friends' houses, on the beach, et cetera, is frequent enough to become a Running Gag. She learns not to volunteer her views around other people but is open with them if asked.
- Our Nudity Is Different: Alice's culture doesn't consider the same things obscene ... but she turns out to be risqué even by their standards.
- Averted:
- Alice hates wearing clothing, but does so when it's expected of her.
- Alice doesn't mind being clothed, or she even prefers being clothed to being naked.
- Enforced:
- "This werewolf girl's got fur everywhere; why would she wear clothes?"
- Knowing that audiences might be tired of a woman upset about being naked in public, the creators feel that having the woman not care about the risk of people seeing her in the nude would be an interesting change of pace.
- Alice not having any problems with being naked in public is the work's method of promoting body positivity.
- Lampshaded: "Oh goodie, the standard 'It's my right to be naked if I want to' European chick, right? Back of the line, please."
- Invoked:
- "A nude beach? Dude, don't go near that place, Alice and Bob will start screaming at us about how evil we are for wearing clothes."
- Alice starts streaking to protest about some social issues.
- Alice's mother, Carol, raises her in a remote area with plenty to eat and almost nobody to complain if they let it all hang out.
- Exploited:
- Brenda is constantly egging Alice on because she thinks it's funny.
- Emily, a closeted lesbian, also eggs Alice on because she has a crush on her.
- Alice earns a bit of extra cash selling nude photos (which teeter on the line between artistic and pornographic) online.
- Alice's friends frequently invite her to parties, knowing her exhibitionist tendencies could liven up the place. This trick succeeds so well they eventually start hiring her as their go-to stripper.
- The heist team have Alice perform a striptease to distract the guards.
- Alice wants children more than anything for herself, and she figures that going naked around Bob will get him to put out for her.
- Defied: "Uh, Alice, I don't care how much you hate them, if you don't get dressed you'll get us arrested."
- Discussed: "Why is it that every single race in Star Trek seems to have the same fashion sense as humans? You'd think that at least one would see no point in being clothed..."
- Conversed: "In real life, that girl will get arrested, catch something, freeze—" "And you're complaining?"
- Implied:
- Alice always appears 'wearing' Censor Boxes while most everybody else around her is properly dressed.
- Alice mentions being a fan of nudist resorts, dresses skimpily in public, frequently tugs at her clothes looking annoyed, and enjoys when hot men notice her.
- Deconstructed:
- Alice is immediately arrested for indecent exposure and must attend rigorous therapy to fix her psychosis.
- Assorted problems with remaining nude all the time (skin damage, becoming a social outcast, it being assumed that she is an easy exhibitionist) take their toll on Alice and her wellbeing. Her nudity ultimately makes her less happy, not more.
- By showing off her naked body, Alice attracts a lot of unwanted attention.
- Bullies take and spread photos of Alice and slut-shame her.
- Alice is arrested and Mistaken for Pedophile after several children see her.
- After not wearing clothes for a prolonged period, Alice starts to become cold, eventually contracting hypothermia.
- Reconstructed:
- Alice is beat down by society due to her constant refusal to get dressed, but over time, people start to ignore her quirk. It's shown that eventually she receives some form of acceptance with the community.
- Alice appears to get over her quirk, only to reveal later that she has begrudgingly started to wear clothing in public. She still strips the second she feels she can safely do so without fear of being arrested, and is adamant against wearing clothing in situations she feels she can get away with it, despite what other people may think.
- Alice's family, friends and/or Alice herself deal with any perverts or bullies who attempt to take advantage of her.

- Alice eats and exercises more to stave off hypothermia while in the nude.
- Played for Laughs:
- Alice's nudity is played up as a contagious disease, political ideology, or religious belief. She is constantly converting people in the background as the series progresses.
- Alice's nudity taboo is inverted via a blow to the head or other such plot hook, and her friends must protect her from humiliating herself.
- Bob goes to great lengths to support Alice's views on nudity (while noticeably not taking them up in his own life) because he is attracted to her.
- Alice is the last person anyone wants to see naked, and "Please Put Some Clothes On" is her Phrase Catcher.
- As it most often is, Naked People Are Funny is in full effect with Alice.
- Played for Drama:
- Alice doesn't really believe what she is saying, but is being blackmailed, is cursed, or otherwise being coerced into acting like it.
- Bob goes to great lengths to support Alice's lifestyle because he loves her. Alice fails to grasp how much effort Bob has to go through to help her.
- Alice had a traumatic experience relating to clothing, leaving her with Vestiphobia. Clothing, specifically the feel of cloth on her skin, triggers her trauma, sending her into an emotional fit.
- Alice was humiliated or assaulted in the past and adopts a nudist lifestyle to reclaim her body and identity.
- Alice's incestous father imposed her nudist lifestyle upon her.
- Alice embarrasses her children by being nude around them.
- Alice is usually prepared for when she gets her period while naked, but the one time she isn't, it humiliates her and becomes the only thing people remember about her.
- Alice is older physically than she is mentally, so Bob's attraction to her and self-serving support for her nudism comes off as even squickier than normal.
- Played for Horror:
- Alice is a Serial Rapist who goes around naked to save her the time to strip her clothes off when she corners her victims.
- Alice works naked at her day job as an elementary school teacher and frequently molests her students.
- Alice is sexually assaulted and murdered and her killer points out her casual nudity as "She was asking me to do it!"
- Alice is an axe-murderer who goes around naked to save her the time to wash the blood of her victims off her body.
Oi now, if I want to go around naked, I'll do so! I won't have you calling me a Shameless Fanservice Girl just because I'm dressed how God intends us to be! You should be ashamed, hiding your natural body like that!
