* The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League active during the WorldWarII era had uniforms consisting of miniskirts. ''ALeagueOfTheirOwn'' openly hangs a lampshade on just how impractical this is for actually ''playing baseball'' and that it was designed almost entirely with {{Fanservice}} in mind.

* Fate Testarossa of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''. Though, she dressed up conservatively during the third season. Her [[SuperMode Sonic Form]] is ''still'' quite revealing though. Lampshaded in-universe. Opponents who catch a glimpse of the Sonic Form note how little defense it grants, and that Fate could be killed by a single solid hit. In the end it doesn't change the fact that Fate usually [[SuperSpeed kicks their asses]].

* A lot of the female champions in ''LeagueOfLegends'' play this trope straight. The only real exceptions are [[TokenMiniMoe Annie]], [[{{Shorttank}} Poppy]], [[LadyOfWar Irelia]], [[SamusIsAGirl Kayle]], [[CloudCuckooLander Lulu]], [[SmallGirlBigGun Tristana]], [[MagicalGirl Lux]], [[TheOjou Karma]], [[BrokenBird Riven]], Fiora And possibly [[MusicalAssassin Sona]], depending on whether or not you count an ImpossiblyLowNeckline revealing [[MostCommonSuperpower amazing cleavage]] as stripperiffic.

* In ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos'', Savyna double subverts this. She looks like she's wearing very skintight clothing but it's just a side-effect of the character models in general being a little thinner than the official art; in which her clothing actually appears somewhat bulkier - especially around the arms. Given that she's a fist-fighter, this makes sense. [[ShesGotLegs Her legs]], [[DoubleSubversion however]], are just as shown-off in her art as they are in-game.

** ''Comicbook/{{Catwoman}}'' wears a SpyCatsuit. The amount of skin showing is very, very little. However, that [[DependingOnTheArtist Depends On The Artist]]. She's often shown with a good amount of cleavage exposed, despite the otherwise practical nature of her costume. Especially noticeable in ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Arkham City]]'' and ''MortalKombatVsDCUniverse''.

* Played straight and Inverted in ''MortalKombat'', where quite a few of the male and female fighters wear skimpy outfits while beating the crap out of each other (The dress code for Edenian royalty must have been based on [[GoGoEnslavement Slave]] [[StarWars Leia]]). The only real exception to this is Ashrah, whose outfits are about the most modest and covering garments ever seen on an MK female.
** In addition, some of the ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' games have [[AndYourRewardIsClothes unlockable alternate costumes]] for the fighters (especially ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeadlyAlliance Deadly Alliance]]'', where they ''all'' have them. The ones for female characters tend to be skimpy.

* Lampshaded in "After The End", a [[AffectionateParody parody]] audio drama from the creators of ''NeonGenesisEvangelion''. In order to bring in more viewers for season 2 of ''Evangelion'', Rei and Asuka are forced to wear redesigned Plugsuits that show off their nipples and...other sensitive areas. Asuka is mortified. [[{{Nosebleed}} Shinji has a decidedly different reaction]].

** Standard attire for Britannia's female [[MiniMecha Knightmare]] pilots is basically a leotard. This "feature" of service carries over to the manga Oz of the Reflection, with the female protagonist, Oldrin. The Valkyrie Squad takes this one step further by having belly-depth cleavage, and [[Tykebomb Anya]] of the [[TheDragon Knights Of The Round]] wears a really skimpy pilot suit as well.

* Coupled with PowerPerversionPotential in ''The Movies''. When it comes to the sci-fi costumes, the majority of female costumes are inexplicably sexy. There's a space leather suit with a CleavageWindow that comes in either long pants or no pants at all as well as a space belly dancer costume. The men get some of this too with a costume literally titled "Space Hotpants" and another called "Space Gigolo". Then there's an entire category for underwear which means you can have your characters doing their everyday business wearing their underwear in public. You can also force the actors to walk around the studio wearing their underwear too - though their star rating will go down for not keeping up with the latest fashions.

** There was even an episode based around how one guy reacted to Xeena's leather outfit (and how upset it made his girlfriend). Xeena considers switching to chainmail, but Gabrielle points out this would probably only attract a kinkier kind of guy. The girlfriend recaptures the guy's attention in the end with her own (much simpler) leather outfit.

* Lampshaded at the Halloween party in ''Film/MeanGirls'', where Cady comments on how in Girl World, Halloween is the one night of the year a girl can dress like a total slut and no one can say anything. Gretchen wears a cat costume made of skintight leather, Karen wears a skimpy, cleavage-revealing teddy (only the ears give it away as a costume - "I'm a mouse. Duh."), while Regina wears a "rabbit" costume that's nothing more than a PlayboyBunny suit. Cady, not knowing this and thinking that Halloween costumes are meant to be scary, wears pale makeup, novelty rubber teeth, and a BloodSplatteredWedding Dress ("an ex-wife").

However, most NPCs won't take you seriously when you're naked; most will refuse to speak with you while you're in this state of undress, except to tell you to put some clothes on.

** A certain amount of TruthInTelevision on this. Gladiators were very much sex symbols in Rome (and in some periods, at least, wealthy women were known to pay substantial sums to bed them), and often wore stylized armor that was much more esthetic than practical when they wore armor at all. Most Roman women did wear fairly conservative clothing most of the time, as Rome was a pretty conservative place for most of it's history. While the famous orgies occurred, these were definitely ''private'' parties. Blatant public displays were usually limited to slaves and similarly low-classes people in the arenas. (Rome had, at some points, some extremely NotSafeForWork public entertainments.)

** ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'': Jasmine's outfit is probably drawn from Turkish belly-dance costume. It's improbable that a princess would ever wear this, but then, she is mostly seen confined within the palace- and it's normal for Muslim women not to wear hijab in their own homes. When she goes out in public, she covers up appropriately.

* The majority of the PoweredArmor in ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'' doesn't provide much actual protective armor. This is because the suits come with nigh-indestructible DeflectorShields; anything that can punch through that isn't going to be slowed down by armor, so the designers use the armor plating more for fashion than protection. There are a few exceptions, such as the [[SuperPrototype White Knight]].
