Wardrobe changes bring variety and color to a show's characters, especially in an animated work where the characters have [[LimitedWardrobe a default costume that they use all the time]]. These new clothes accompany downtime in an ongoing story arc, when characters are relaxing, playing, or fooling around. However, no matter how welcome costume changes are, they simply can't stay. When the chips are down and the plot gets moving again, our heroes put their Plot Pants back on and get into the action.

* ''WesternAnimation/GetEd'': The Dojo kids normally wear a basic set of clothing, switching to power-up gear ([[FantasyHelmetEnforcement complete with helmets and padding]]) to do their deliveries or fight Bedlam. However, in one episode they decide to [[CoolestClubEver go clubbing]] and switch to civilian outfits (which are, in fact, {{Palette Swap}}s of their regular models - not one polygon has changed).
