* In the new ''Film/AliceInWonderland'', Alice is shrunk until only her dress remains. She, in fact, changes size several times in the film, justifying [[UnlimitedWardrobe new outfits with each new size]]. This is a contrast from the [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland original text]], in which her clothes changed size with her. Presumably this was done for the sake of {{fanservice}}.

* In ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', Franchise/TheFlash Barry Allen runs so fast that he loses himself to the Speed Force, leaving just his uniform behind. Same thing with Wally West in ''Zero Hour''.

** Could be justified that the fact her outfit is essentially a part of her as well as it's her "Royal outfit" so when she made the wish to be a streetrat instead of a Princess. The royal clothing disappeared to symbolize abandoning her old lifestyle.

** The ''second'' and subsequent times Alex does this, she has learned to shift her outfit along with her; thus {{Magic Pants}} is the trope through the rest of the series.

* Used weirdly in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries''. In "Do The Rat Thing," Jasmine is transformed into a rat, shrinking out of the cloak she was wearing over her usual outfit, but the outfit itself changed with her and was restored when she was changed back.

** In the first movie, Quirrell collapses to dust, leaving his clothes to fall empty to the floor.
** In the third film, Pettigrew leaves behind his clothes after turning into a rat. Which is weird, seeing how Animagi always have clothes on when they turn human and [=McGonagall's=] cat form is noted to have markings around its eyes which resemble her glasses. In the book, this occurs at a different point, also with Pettigrew. After he [[spoiler:framed Sirius for his death]] and turned into a rat, it's mentioned he left behind a pile of clothes and one finger. So... was he naked in the Shrieking Shack? Maybe they just conjure clothes when they turn human since [[AWizardDidIt they are wizards, after all]].

* BigBad Thulsa Doom does this when he [[ScaledUp turns into a giant snake]] in the middle of overseeing an orgy in ''ConanTheBarbarian1982'', explained in the novelisation as fleeing from Conan and his allies.

* In ''Devil & Devil'', one of the first enemies is a tentacled monster that can suck the life and time out of people, [[FountainOfYouth deaging them to infancy]]. Because this doesn't exclude their clothing, this lead to confusion when the monster attacked a female teacher, leading to the strange discovering of a baby girl "wearing" a young woman's clothes.

* In episode 5 of the ''Anime/MagicUsersClub' TV anime', Akane starts to hiccup, causing various strange things to happen. At one point, she shrinks down, leaving her clothes piled on the club room floor.

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'', Jasmine is transformed into a cute rat, shrinking out of her clothes in the process.

* In a chapter of the Japanese-only {{VideoGame/Neptunia}} manga, after Nepgear, Uni, Rom and Ram are accidentally [[FountainOfYouth turned into babies]], they are seen swimming in their oversized clothes. Because they don't magically reappear when they are returned to normal, this leads to a minor NakedFreakOut from them.

* ''Anime/PrincessTutu''. A girl called Duck, because she was a duck, turns back into a duck whenever she acts like a duck, thus leaving an empty pile of clothing behind.

* In ''The Incredible Adventures of Karik and Valya'', the eponimous sinblings shrink to insect size, leaing their clothes behind. The girl is '''very unhappy''' about having not having her clothes on.

* ''DoctorWho''. In "The Day of the Doctor", a Zygon copies a human, clothes and all. When they meet up later, one of them ponders what will happen if the copy loses a shoe.

* In ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'', after [[spoiler:Signum and Shamal are absorbed into the Book of Darkness]], only their winter coats remain on the ground.
