* Yukiko Amagi from ''{{Persona 4}}'' (pictured above) is the poster child for this.
* Also worn by Fuuka in ''{{Persona 3}}''.
* The soldier-like Weiß wears this outfit in ''ArcanaHeart 3''.

* Masako Natsume from Anime/MawaruPenguindrum.

* Part of the Sakurazaki school uniform, along with a SailorFuku, in ''FanFic/PrettyCureTransientSchool''. The only reason why this is listed here in the first place is because at Sakurazaki, it's the ''boys''' uniform!

* In the first ''PrincessDiaries'' book, Mia's grandmother orders her to start dressing like this, but then starts criticising her for choosing the wrong colour and style of tights.

* Homura Akemi wears this with her outfits, including her MagicalGirl uniform (which, to top it off, adds high-heeled boots incorporated into the tights), in ''PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', except in her flashbacks in episode 10.

So, you have a female character, and you want her to appear prim and proper, while still being feminine and fitting in with all of your other female characters. It would usually (with few exceptions) be improper for her to wear pants, but it would be difficult to have her fit in full dresses when all of your other female characters are wearing short, suggestive skirts.

This style of dress is particularly common in {{Anime}} with TheOjou, YamatoNadeshiko and ProperLady. Compare with SkirtOverSlacks, which occurs when pants of some description are added to an already modest skirt in order to convey shyness or tomboyishness, and with ModestyShorts, which ensures modesty for the ActionGirl who wears a short skirt. Contrasts with ZettaiRyouiki, which are usually employed to instead enhance the fanservice of the outfit, upping the intended sexiness, and with TightsUnderShorts, which incorporates something more boyish than a skirt but is nevertheless used more frequently on girls than on boys.

* [[BakaAndTest Hideyoshi]] [[DudeLooksLikeALady Kinoshita]] also does this sometimes, including with a pink maid dress.

* Umi from ''MagicalKnightRayearth'' as she's TheOjou and comes from a high-class school.

* Hell, there are some traps out there who have done this besides the two listed above, including, at times, [[BakaToTestToShoukanjuu Hideyoshi Kinoshita]].

* OniiChanNoKoto has Kondou and it become Shuusuke's primary fetish.

* Homura Akemi wears this with her outfits, including her MagicalGirl uniform, in ''PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''.
