This is a {{justified|Trope}} in situations where an outfit providing more coverage or concealment would be impractical in other ways. Sports such as gymnastics fall into the coverage without concealment category, as less form-fitting clothing would be restrictive, distracting, or get caught in the equipment while less coverage would expose the athletes to friction burns. In sports that prioritize the speed of the human body in motion, such as track and field, uniforms tend to provide minimal coverage and are cut to follow natural creases of the human body to avoid restriction and chafing. Conversely, sports that involve speeds high enough to make air resistance a factor such as speedskating tend to minimize the amount of exposed surface area to reduce drag. One of the few fanservice tropes that is often applied equally to both sexes.

Outside of sports, there may be some justification for tight outfits in a few cases, such as paratroopers (loose, baggy clothes would flap around) or a spy who has to wriggle through a tiny window to infiltrate a building. In some sci-fi and futuristic spy thriller shows, this rare justification is extended to all personnel to provide Fanservice.
