* During UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}}, the Characters/SilverSurfer [[MonsterModesty wore nothing but a pair of underwear]]. Since it was the same color as his body, it looked like he wasn't wearing anything. [[UsefulNotes/TheModernAgeOfComicBooks These days]], he's [[FullFrontalAssault completely naked]], but with BarbieDollAnatomy for good measure.

* In ''Website/GoAnimate'', the closest you can get to depicting a buck-naked character is by giving him/her clothes that are the same color as his/her skin.

* Referenced (but not shown) in one of the fnal episodes of ''Series/DadsArmy'' as the costume for Lady Godiva in a festival. The episode punchline is when the "Fleshings" are worn by [[TheGhost Mrs Mannering]] much to the humiliation of her husband.

* One of the big questions about WebAnimation/HomestarRunner: Is he, as he claims, wearing "long pants", or does he not wear pants and just has blue soles on his feet?

* ''Anime/BirdyTheMightyDecode'': Birdy's suit covers her whole body, but a great deal of it is the same tone as her skin.

* ''Anime/BirdyTheMightyDecode'': Birdy's suit covers her whole body, but a great deal of it is the same tone as her skin.
* There was an [[BonusMaterial omake]] feature in ''Manga/HeIsMyMaster'' highlighting the girls' gym uniforms, which included peach-coloured spats (chosen specifically so that the artist could draw the girls at particularly risque angles and get away with it).
* Shiro from ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'', to the point that viewers are likely to do a double take the first time they see her since it makes her look nude minus some body paint (which are actual patterns drawn on the suit). Her navel indentation being visible doesn't help matters. It's even worse in the manga since being black and white it lacks the slight color difference between the fabric and her skin present in the anime that makes it more obvious she actually ''is'' wearing something. Oddly enough no one in-universe ever seems to get the wrong idea, suggesting this world does ''not'' follow BarbieDollAnatomy.
* ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'' plays it straight. In the snow battle. Even [[FanService those who normally would say "Hot!"]] at the sight of the miniskirts are likely to scream "COLD!" instead watching the girls wading through the snow (or lying over it) apparently bare-legged... unless they remember that at the start of the battle they specifically mentioned they are wearing TWO overlaid pairs of tights.

* In ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': Characters/{{Wonder Woman|TheCharacter}}'s foe, the [[Characters/WonderWomanCheetah Cheetah]], has taken to wearing pants with cheetah-print over the crotch in recent years. Since she's already covered with cheetah spots when transformed, this makes her look like she's wearing crotchless leather chaps.

* There was an old issue of ''Comicbook/TeenTitans'' where Wonder Girl (?) was dancing in civvies (untucked shirt and pants); when it was reprinted in a ''Showcase'' (which is in B&W) it looks like she's not wearing any pants.

* Subverted in ''ComicBook/TopTen'' -- you're meant to ''think'' that the skin tight spandex that [[ArtificialHuman Girl One]] is wearing is just extremely form fitting and the same purple color of her skin, especially since it's actually multi-colored in places and has a constantly shifting pattern. It's not. She's actually nude -- she has the ability to change her skin tone like a cuttlefish, and the two horny fanboys that created her also gave her an uncontrollable instinct to stay naked at all times.

* In his early appearances, [[Characters/SupermanBrainiacCharacter Brainiac]] wore green-colored pants matching his skin color. [[https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiv4rXA47TcAhWdIDQIHW1_CFQQyCkIKTAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DlfvR4hl-Gzw&usg=AOvVaw04TwPeF3sSk-p7_M9lzrZE All he wants is a decent pair of pants!]]

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* In ''Film/TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny'' there's a part where K.G. is driving off with sorority girls and one flashes him, actually showing a flesh-colored bra.
* The spy-spoof ''Film/OurManFlint'' features brief shots of women wearing flesh-colored bathing suits.
* Early in the film ''JohnnyBGoode'' Johnny asks one of the cheerleaders to take off her panties, so as to flash the other team and distract them. The actress was wearing nude colored panties.
* In ''Can-Can'', Simone Creator/ShirleyMacLaine wears a nude (albeit with sparkles) body-suit as the lead in the "Adam and Eve" ballet.

* Also a SpecialEffectFailure in ''Film/DrNo''. When Film/JamesBond and Honey Rider are in the DecontaminationChamber, the latter steps off wearing a flesh-colored towel in a failed attempt to make her look nude.

* Similar to ''Film/ButImACheerleader,'' ''Film/BadEducation2004'' has [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/artimageslibrary/5842512231 this dress.]]
* ''Film/TheBigLebowski'' - The Dude's landlord is on a stage doing a clunky, inept NudeNatureDance to Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" - thankfully in nude-colored full-body tights with ivy in strategic places. The Dude is in the sparse audience with his friends; this would explain why the landlord is lenient in collecting rent.
* In ''Film/{{Arachnophobia}}'' the actress playing the protagonist's teenage daughter wears an obvious fleshtone bodysuit in a shower scene.
* In ''Film/Aladdin2019'', a LiveActionAdaptation of Disney's ''{{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}}'', Jasmine's BedlahBabe outfit was changed to cover her midriff; however, the fabric was flesh colored so it looked like her original midriff baring outfit.
* Invoked in ''Film/{{Atonement}}'', where Cecilia strips down to a translucent chemise and goes for a dip in the fountain. When she emerges, we get a SexySoakedShirt where the dress has stuck to her skin. In context, she's trying to seduce Robbie, and it's working.

[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* In-universe example: In one episode of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', George wants to be fired from his job with the Yankees so he can take a better one with the Mets, but SpringtimeForHitler is in full effect, and all of his attempts to get fired backfire spectacularly. One such attempt involved him {{streaking}} at a Yankees game... except he's too chicken to actually streak for real, so he wears a flesh-colored bodysuit instead. Far from getting him fired, this instead made him massively popular with the crowd as "Bodysuit Man".

* In a ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' episode, Frasier is hitting on a girl at a Halloween costume party with a nude body outfit. He guesses she's dressed as Lady Godiva, but she reveals she's Eve. The kicker is the girl was Creator/KelseyGrammer's real-life wife (they've since divorced).
* At least once on ''Series/AmericasNextTopModel'' the models posed in flesh colored leotards.
* As mentioned in TheissTitillationTheory, William Ware Theiss preferred to design costumes for the women on ''Series/{{Star Trek|The Original Series}}'' which used strategically-placed skin-toned patches to make the costumes appear far more immodest than they actually were, though sometimes redesigns [[ExecutiveMeddling mandated by]] Creator/GeneRoddenberry would make the costumes more revealing.
* Robin's tights in ''{{Series/Batman|1966}}'', which make it look like he's just wearing short shorts.
* Common on ''Series/DancingWithTheStars''.

* In ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'', Catherine Bach wore flesh-colored tights to play Daisy Duke, which is why her Daisy Dukes could be so short.
* Referenced (but not shown) in one of the fnal episodes of ''Series/DadsArmy'' as the costume for Lady Godiva in a festival. The episode punchline is when the "Fleshings" are worn by [[TheGhost Mrs Mannering]] much to the humiliation of her husband.
* In ''Series/UFO1970'', Skydiver crew members wear uniform shirts that look like they're made out of fishing nets. Female crew get a skin-coloured undershirt or lining, while men get nothing underneath.
* In ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', Will is forced to wear a fat suit as a lesson for his constant mockery of Uncle Phil. While trailing his girlfriend who he thinks is cheating on him, he's understandably freaked out when his pants drop out in the open.

* As part of the StylisticSuck in ''Series/Danger5'', [[SensualSlavs Ilsa]] does the ''Film/BasicInstinct''-thing only to suffer SpecialEffectFailure when a close-up reveals she's wearing flesh-coloured panties.

* Music/BritneySpears had her (in)famous skin-tone body suit, with strategically placed glittery stuff.

* Inna wears a leotard of this color in parts of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od-6uzcLGqw "In Your Eyes"]] [[ThreeMinutesOfWrithing video]], and during the sprinkler/rain dance, a backup dancer wears an even less-contrasted leotard, [[SexySoakedShirt the rain rendering her nipples visible]].
* Sarah Connor (the German singer, not [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} the other one]]) once caused a scandal that involved this. She performed at Series/WettenDass in a dress that was half-transparent on the sides almost all the way up to her waist. Needless to say that she couldn't wear any normal underwear underneath it, but it looked like she [[GoingCommando didn't wear any at all]]. After the MoralGuardians reared up the day after, she explained that she wore skin-colored panties complete with pictures of said undergarments (not [[{{Fanservice}} being worn]], though, and of course [[{{Squick}} washed]]).

* In some of Music/{{Blink 182}}'s videos, the band members look like they are running naked, with pixels censoring the nudity. It is revealed, however, that all three of these band members were wearing skin-colored speedos throughout the videos.
* Briefly but effectively actualized in Bun B's featuring Drake music video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnKr5GFJgfM Put it Down]]. It's skin-coloured hosiery worn by one of the vixens.

* Done inadvertently in Bally's ''Pinball/EightBall''. Due to how the playfield is lit, the top worn by "Pinky" appears to be tan/pink-colored when the pinball machine is turned off.

* This is also worn at the end of the dance for the ''less'' risque versions of the Dance of the Seven Veils in ''Theatre/{{Salome}}''. The more risque versions leave the performer nude.

* The player character in ''[[VideoGame/CodeNameViper Code Name: Viper]]'' uses three colors: Brown, green, and flesh. The flesh color is used not only for his face and hands, but also his pants, leading some players to believe he was running around with no pants on. It doesn't help that his standing sprite has a visible bulge...

* ''VideoGame/MushihimeSama'' has a paper doll {{feelie|s}} of Reco. Her unclothed shape is as though she is naked but with no visible naughty bits... so, the joke going around is that she's wearing a full-body flesh-colored latex suit.
* ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'': Subverted in ''Soul Calibur 3'' and ''Soul Calibur 4'', wherein you cannot change underwear into flesh tones. They're simply blocked out.
* Kratos' outfit in ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' has designs on it that some have noted make it look like there are holes over his nipples.

* ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'''s custom designs. The VideoGamePerversityPotential makes it so, so possible to make custom designs accurately matching a villager's fur color. Put it up on the Abel Sisters' display and name it after the desired target and they'll wear it in a few days. Taken even farther in ''City Folk'' with "Pro designs", which get rid of odd texture repeating. Taken ''even farther'' in ''New Leaf'', where many of the female characters who wore bulky dresses before now wear smooth shirts due to the game's ArtEvolution. If you're one of the many who has had [[PerverseSexualLust a crush]] on one of your villager friends at one point, well... you can talk to Isabelle whenever you need to erase the evidence.
** Some of the "animal costumes" can have a more G-rated version of this effect on the right villagers. As [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Vinny]] demonstrated by giving a bear costume to Louie the gorilla, it doesn't even have to be the same species, just the same color.
* It is possible to do this in ''[[{{VideoGame/Scribblenauts}} Super Scribblenauts]]'' with the "naked" adjective.
* There's a certain style of NPC armor in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' that has this appearance for parts of it - mainly the pants. It has a corded texture, but from typical viewing distance it looks like fishnet hose. Every guard in the Arrival DLC, both male and female, is wearing this, making it look like every one of them is pantsless.

* In ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'', flashbacks to the ancient world in which the now-vanished {{Precursors}} ruled over enslaved humans tend to show humans dressed in form-fitting bodysuits colored like this.
* In ''VideoGame/MegaManXCommandMission'', Marino's [[SuperMode Quicksilver Mode]] gives off the impression that her thighs are completely bare. However, ''VideoGame/MegaManXDive'' reveals that reploids have lines on their arms and legs (visible on the swimsuit variants of characters like Alia and Layer, and on Marino's own Halloween variant), meaning that Quicksilver Marino actually wears skin-colored tights.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'', the character [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7978 Shen'fya]] caused a minor stir on the site's forums with her outfit, which is essentially lingerie with a transparent shift over it. If you weren't sharp eyed enough to spot the waistband it takes what [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8067 would be an upskirt shot]] to realize that she's actually wearing leggings almost the same color as her skin (but slightly more yellow) which becomes more obvious in concept art.

* Played for laughs in ''WebComic/{{Beeserker}}'', where it's revealed that the Sciencemen are wearing flesh-colored coveralls, much to the surprise of their assistant.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** In "To Surveil With Love", Chief Wiggum wants to arrest a man for indecent exposure, but it turns out he is just wearing flesh colored clothing.
** In the first episode, Lisa is performing at a school play about Christmas in other cultures while wearing a very thin grass skirt. Her unintentional nudity was {{handwave}}d as a flesh-colored bodysuit.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'':
** In an unusual example, Ahsoka wore a full-body unitard that just happened to be the exact same shade of red as her skin.
** In a more risque but vague example due to camera trickery in the Season 3 episode, "Pursuit of Peace", the bounty hunters Chata Hyoki and Robonino hang out in a bar to receive their next orders from Count Dooku. In the background, you can find a [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Twi'lek girl]] posing suggestively on top of a table with her arms crossed over her chest. Between her clothing being the same color as her skin (if she's even ''wearing'' any clothing), the shadowing in the bar and the camera not directly focusing on her despite being very close to it (again, making it difficult to tell if she's actually wearing anything or not), one could assume the bar was a PG-rated strip club.

* The ''WesternAnimation/DrakPack'' episode "Perilous Plunder at Pirate's Park" featured Dr. Dred's dim-witted lackey Toad wearing a wetsuit that was colored the same shade of green as his skin.
* ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' is a white furred mouse in a white jumpsuit. It kind of looks like he's just wearing a belt, EyepatchOfPower and ChestInsignia, but there is a collar and cuffs if you look carefully.

* One ''WebComic/SomethingPositive'' storyline has Mike discover an old video of Aubrey as a child, dressed in an outfit like this to play the Elf Queen in a kid's play of ''Literature/TheHobbit.'' He posts it online just because he thinks it's cute (and it doesn't occur to him that she might not want him to), then he winds [[PaedoHunt arrested]] because some viewers thought that Aubrey was ''actually'' naked.

* In ''Film/Aladdin2019'', a LiveActionAdaptation of Disney's ''{{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}}'', Jasmine's BedlahBabe outfit was changed to cover her midriff; however, the fabric was flesh colored so it looked like original [[BareYourMidriff midriff baring]] outfit.

* This also occurs in [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring]] {{ballet}} costumes, such as the Arabian dancers in ''Theatre/TheNutcracker''. Part of the reason may be to help keep the non-flesh-colored bits of the costume in place during routines so elaborate they sometimes border on [[{{Contortionist}} contortionism]].

* In ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreed'', flashbacks to the ancient world in which the now-vanished {{Precursors}} ruled over enslaved humans tend to show humans dressed in form-fitting bodysuits colored like this.

* In ''Series/{{UFO}}'', Skydiver crew members wear uniform shirts that look like they're made out of fishing nets. Female crew get a skin-coloured undershirt or lining, while men get nothing underneath.

* Part of the SpecialEffectFailure in ''Film/HorrorOfSpiderIsland'' is the use of flesh-colored bodysuits to simulate nudity for a {{Fanservice}} scene. Of course the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' guys picked up on it instantly and took it apart.

* There's also the titular character in ''WebComic/SabrinaOnline''. At first it appears as though Sabrina is not wearing any pants, but then it's revealed that she's really just wearing pants that are the same color as her fur. Where her shirt ends and her pants begin, though, has yet to be explained... it might be a belly shirt.
** Given a particularly funny lampshading when her roommate, a Squirrel Girl (no, not [[ComicBook/SquirrelGirl that one]]) named Amy, borrows a pair. She breaks the fourth wall to call the surprised members of the audience perverts while pulling on the waistband of her pants.

* In one episode of ''Series/DanceMoms'', Abby Lee causes quite a stir by giving the girls a "topless showgirls" number. Keep in mind, all the kids are between the ages of 7 and 14, so she gives them all tan bras and bootie shorts that almost exactly match each girl's skin tone, and then covers them in sparkly stuff so that the audience can tell that they're not actually naked onstage. Oddly enough, the only girl excited about this is the oldest, Brooke, is 13/14...

* Depending on the art team, ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}'s outfit may incorporate pants and even sleeves, or just be a tunic. It's hard to tell with most colour schemes due to his face, arms and legs all being grey, though some colourists do give his sleeves and pants a tinge of purple.
* In ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': Franchise/WonderWoman's foe, the ComicBook/{{Cheetah}}, has taken to wearing pants with cheetah-print over the crotch in recent years. Since she's already covered with cheetah spots when transformed, this makes her look like she's wearing crotchless leather chaps.

* ComicBook/CarolDanvers' ComicBook/MsMarvel costume had a lightning bolt on the front that was the same color as her skin in quite a few incarnations, particularly in some older, more color-restricted comic books. The artists later made it either clearly very yellow or shiny to avoid this.

* During UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}}, the ''ComicBook/SilverSurfer'' [[MonsterModesty wore nothing but a pair of underwear]]. Since it was the same color as his body, it looked like he wasn't wearing anything. [[UsefulNotes/TheModernAgeOfComicBooks These days]], he's [[FullFrontalAssault completely naked]], but with BarbieDollAnatomy for good measure.
* In his early appearances, ComicBook/{{Brainiac}} wore green-colored pants that match his skin color. [[https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiv4rXA47TcAhWdIDQIHW1_CFQQyCkIKTAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DlfvR4hl-Gzw&usg=AOvVaw04TwPeF3sSk-p7_M9lzrZE All he wants is a decent pair of pants!]]

* Eiko in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX''. The official art makes her look like she's totally naked from the waist down, when in fact she's wearing very tight flesh-colored pants. Considering [[TagAlongKid her age]], this is the cause of much {{Squick}} among fans. [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/File:Eiko_Carol_character.jpg Judge for yourself]]. Thankfully her in-game model and most other artwork use a much darker red for them.

* ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'': Subverted in ''Soul Caliber 3'' and ''Soul Caliber 4'', wherein you cannot change underwear into flesh tones. They're simply blocked out.

* PlayedWith in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime:'' One episode reveals that Jake (a dog) doesn't actually go around naked, it's just that his pants are made out of spiderweb and are thus invisible to the viewer.

* Happens a lot in the UsefulNotes/MacysThanksgivingDayParade for the latter reason, mostly during Broadway and dance performances. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86zg3y1NMDQ Most of the time, it's hard to tell.]]

** {{Subverted|Trope}} by the ''Nimbus'' crew uniforms: They don't include skin-colored pants as you might think. In fact, they don't include ''any'' pants but rather their absence. What you see there are the crew members' bare legs. Captain Zapp Brannigan takes this UpToEleven by GoingCommando, at least that's what Kif's [[{{Squick}} reaction upon looking up Zapp's jacket]] implies. (We don't know what the rest of the crew wears underneath, though.)
