* In the ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' episode, "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS1E15CoverGirlsSaveTheDate Cover Girls]]", the Loud siblings are made by their parents to do some spring cleaning, so the girls made Lincoln cover for all of them while they go out. In the middle of cleaning, he is forced to go on a video-chat with Pop-Pop. He initially tries to speak for his sisters, but Pop-Pop insists in speaking with them all, so Lincoln sends his sisters a text message telling them to come home immediately. Fortunately, Lincoln is CrazyPrepared, having a closet full of his sisters' clothing in case he needs to disguise himself as them. After a while of impersonating them, the sisters start to arrive home, and he drags each of them into disguising themselves as another sister, until [[http://theloudhouse.wikia.com/wiki/File:S1E15A_Final_disguise_moment_together.png ultimately,]] Lincoln ends up dressed as Lily, who is dressed as Lori, who is dressed as Lincoln; while Leni and Lana are dressed as each other; whilst Luna is dressed as Lynn, who is dressed as Lisa, who is dressed as Luan, who is dressed as Lucy, who is dressed as Lola, who is dressed as Luna. And Pop-Pop is fooled by the entire ZanyScheme, having forgotten his glasses. Shortly after Pop-Pop ends the call, the kids' parents come into the room, and after learning what happened, they let them off on cleaning the house under the stipulation that they continue wearing the disguises for the rest of the day, resulting in humiliating situations for all eleven kids.

* At one point in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', the title character has to wear [[ArrangedMarriage his fiance's]] clothes because all of his are in the wash. It's not cross dressing because he is [[GenderBender in girl form]] at the time. However, it earns him Akane's wrath when he points out that there is plenty of room in the hip region, but it's a bit tight around the bust.
* In the final episode of ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'', the characters Behoimi and Media swap clothes on some whim. Behoimi finds she isn't thrilled about wearing Media's maid outfit while Media finds herself thrilled to be wearing such unconstraining clothes like Behoimi's school uniform. She begins twirling around in joy showing a fair amount of leg as the skirt begins to rise up. Behoimi begins listing reasons why they should switch back quickly, one of them being along the lines of "and I'm starting to get turned on".
* In one chapter of ''Manga/NabariNoOu'', Gau is shown wearing the jacket [[ShipTease Raikou had been wearing]] earlier in the same chapter.

* PlayedForDrama in ''Anime/KillLaKill,'' a setting where ClothesMakeTheSuperman but can also overwhelm their wearers--[[spoiler:[[TheHero Ryuko]] is rendered BrainwashedAndCrazy when [[PureIsNotGood Junketsu]] is ''sewn into her skin,'' forcing [[TheRival Satsuki]] to wear [[LivingWeapon Senketsu]] in order to fight her]].

* In ''Fanfic/DungeonKeeperAmi'' Mercury's power-up magic (which replaces whatever she happens to be wearing with her senshi uniform, makeup, and jewelry) is duplicated onto each and every minion she possesses, due to the dungeon heart link. This includes goblins, a horned reaper, and giant beetles. Later, Mercury learns the horned reaper's wardrobe spell (which, incidently, was tailored for a ''male'' user, and lacks a top). Needless to say, HilarityEnsues.

* Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/{{Batman}} and Franchise/WonderWoman try it [[http://ask-thelittleleague.tumblr.com/post/156695624874/john-yeah-bruce-it-was-for-research-diana-i here.]]

* In ''Literature/{{Everworld}},'' this happens when the protagonists have to pass through the Hetwan capital with [[Myth/GreekMythology Dionysus and Ganymede]], whom [[EldritchAbomination Ka Anor]] wants to eat. This is a problem because [[OurGodsAreDifferent gods]], as a rule, are larger than mortals--Christopher has to wrap Dionysus' toga around himself three times, while the rail-thin Jalil is left with only Ganymede's very ill-fitting {{Loincloth}}. Dionysus, meanwhile, can barely squeeze into a collection of Christopher and David's clothes, while Ganymede can't even button his shirt.

* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': In "Madison Country Club", Miss Brooks spills breakfast on her dress. She borrows a dress belonging to her elderly landlady Mrs. Davis. A kind gesture by Mrs. Davis, but Miss Brooks ends up going to school looking absurd. HilarityEnsues.

* In the second season episode of ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'' "Summer Catalog", [[WillTheyOrWontThey non-couple]] April and Andy switch sweaters off camera in one of their many goofy pranks. The visual of April in Andy's overlarge hoodie and Andy in April's too-tight button-up is a laugh riot, more so when Andy declares "Sweater Swap!" when Leslie finally notices.
* In "No Stone," a late episode of ''Series/TheProfessionals'', Bodie and Doyle have clearly swapped shirts in one brief scene. None of the other characters comment on the switch, and it is never explained.

* On an episode of ''Series/YouCantDoThatOnTelevision'' about age discrimination, the dressing room of a Shakespeare program catches fire at the studio, so the adults commandeer the costumes of the [=YCDTOT=] cast in exchange for their own charred, smoking period garb. The adults return the clothes once their director realizes how stupid King Lear looks in an undersized T-shirt and shorts.

* Happens a couple of times in ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'': in "Mismatched Pair Lessons" Anzu suggests that a number of characters try to learn from each other's strengths by acting as a member of that unit for a day, resulting in unlockable costumes of them dressed in the other's costume. (The pairs being: Shinobu/Yuuta, Keito/Wataru, Souma/Kanata, and Tori/Hajime.) And in "Melty Sweet Chocolate Fest" Tsukasa and Tomoya also exchange unit outfits.

* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Tedd and Ellen swap clothes for fun as part of [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-03-27 a photo shoot]].

When he finally bounced out of the box. Donald Ducks clothes switch when Donald Duck is wearing Jack-in-the-box clown costume with his nightcap and accordion as a shirt while the Jack-in-the-box is wearing Donald's blue shirt and hat.

* In a short scene in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' episode "A Hard Day's Warners," Yakko, Wakko, and Dot wear each other's outfits while they hide from their fans (including [[AndCallHimGeorge Elmyra]], who spots them shortly afterward).
** Justified, as they were hiding behind magazines with each other's pictures on them.
*** Yakko dressed as Wakko, Wakko dressed as Dot, and Dot dressed as Yakko. Wakko and Dot keep their hat and flower, however.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'' episode "Luck Amok", Tigger, believing Pooh has bad luck, tries to confuse the bad luck by having Pooh and Piglet switch outfits.

* In ''WesternAnimation/SantaBearsHighFlyingAdventure'', when Santa Bear meets [[MeaningfulName Bully Bear]], he swaps their clothes and ties his paws together while Santa Bear was talking. As they look the same except for their clothes, Santa Bear gets mistaken for Bully Bear and goes to jail.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', Spinnerella and Netossa seem to be wearing each other's necklaces: Netossa's palette is mostly blue and grey, but her necklace is purple, while Spinnerella is wearing a lot of purple, but her necklace is made of silver, with a blue shape that echoes the ones on Netossa's boots and gauntlets. [[AdaptationalSexuality They're married.]] WordOfGod has it that this is a tradition on Etheria in lieu of wedding rings.

[[AdaptationalSexuality They're dating.]]

[[caption-width-right:330:Wow. They... wear the same [[PimpedOutDress dress size]].[[note]]And right now [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle]] is thinking [[BareYourMidriff "Man, my stomach is cold."]] And [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} Jasmine]] is thinking "How am I supposed to walk in this thing?"[[/note]]]]

* In ''[[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove Kronk's New Groove]]'', Kronk and Birdwell do a bombie into the ocean and come out wearing each other's swimsuits. They don't fit well.

** Whenever the Doctor regenerates, he almost always spends some time in the clothes of his previous persona. Sometimes it's a single scene (e.g. Nine to Ten in ''Recap/DoctorWho2005CSTheChristmasInvasion''), and other times it's a whole episode (e.g. Twelve to Thirteen in ''Recap/DoctorWhoS37E1TheWomanWhoFellToEarth''). The exceptions are One to Two in ''Recap/DoctorWhoS4E3ThePowerOfTheDaleks'' (his clothes change along with his face at regeneration), Seven to Eight in ''Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie'' (The Doctor is [[spoiler:dead and lying naked in a hospital morgue]] when he regenerates), and [[spoiler:War to Nine]] (regeneration occurs offscreen).
*** Arguably it's debatable whether this qualifies as an example of the trope, considering that all the Doctors are technically the same character portrayed by different actors, but since each Doctor has a different personality (and each has his/her own character page on this website), there's some justification for its inclusion here.
