* Rule34 (unsurprisingly) can apply this trope to ''any'' female character... with tons of {{Fanservice}} for good measure.

Improved reference to Going Commando. The important difference is not whether it's done for fanservice or not, but whether it's obvious or not.


Not to be confused with CensorSteam, {{Vaporware}}, or {{Vaporwave}}, nor with the similarly named RealLife clothing company that, alas, bears absolutely no relation to this trope. For the non-fanservice version, see GoingCommando (which means just not wearing underwear, without necessarily being obvious about it).

Vapor Wear is the default dress code for TheVamp and the FemmeFatale, whose personality traits match up well with the need to not waste any time removing their knickers, and who (if seen in something ''less'' vampy) will specifically mention the lack of underwear, which can thereby present even an ordinary outfit as something interesting or unusual. As such, it is frequently a significant factor in the TheissTitillationTheory. A similar trope applies to HotAsHell demons and SuccubiAndIncubi (with the exception of [[Series/LostGirl one popular succubus]] who tend to avert or even invert this trope).

This trope can also apply to male characters, but rarely does, because nipple nubs tend to be more socially acceptable than a certain bulge. If something should be there but isn't, it's probably thanks to BarbieDollAnatomy (common in most forms of animation), as well as a sign you [[MST3KMantra might be overthinking things]].

Removed a justifying edit. The important thing isn't why Raven isn't wearing undergarments or how realistic it is, but the fact that it is played for fanservice and/or drama. Also, the Jessica Rabbit example is a ZCE so I commented it out.


* Jessica Rabbit in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. She was given panties in the DVD release, though she's still obviously going bra-less.

* One surprisingly shocking moment in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' has most of Raven's clothes get torn away in the episode "Birthmark". A look at her bare back implies that she doesn't wear anything under that skintight leotard. Then again, most leotards are made to be able to be worn like that, not unlike a bathing suit. This is TruthInTelevision; wearing a bra with a leotard would be redundant, as they're made to cover the "underwear" aspects that would otherwise be unseemly in a skintight outfit.

Added DiffLines:

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse'': Captain Chaser Kiyoshi is described as wearing little more than two vertical strips of cloth that just barely cover her ample breasts underneath her traditional marine officer's jacket, which is made all the more evident by her tendency to [[ShedArmorGainSpeed cast it off to show she's getting serious]]. WordOfGod is that it was designed in homage to one of [[VideoGame/FatalFury2 Mai Mai Shiranui's]] tops.

[[folder:Advertising]]
* There was a commercial once showing a pretty girl standing on a busy street wearing a tartan skirt. She turns to the camera and says cheerfully: "No, I'm not wearing any." Referring, of course, to the famous vapor wear of [[ManInAKilt the Scottish people]].
* That sounds very much like a commercial in which the girl says "Do you want to see what's under my kilt?" The ad was for tartan-patterned sanitary napkins.
%% * Not to mention the heroine of Creator/{{Apple}}'s iconic "Advertising/NineteenEightyFour".

* In ''WesternAnimation/GaltarAndTheGoldenLance'', certain shots make it appear that Goleeta is not wearing underwear under her skirt. They're all from the side though, so nothing is explicit.

When a character's costume doesn't include underclothes; their bra, panties, or both, seem to be AWOL. They're usually female, but the trope isn't gender exclusive. The outer clothing may be made from a translucent material (with strategically placed lace or tape for modesty), feature a NavelDeepNeckline or a CleavageWindow, be cut to show off {{Sideboob}} or {{Underboobs}}, or may be something [[SexyBacklessOutfit backless]], but whatever the case, it's obvious that the outside costume is ''all'' that the person is wearing. If she's wearing any underclothes at all, they must be made of air -- or, should we say, [[TitleDrop Vapor Wear]].

Of course this is often TruthInTelevision, perhaps as a way of being daring or flaunting convention. Today, it's common among celebrities and in runway fashion. During the 1970s the look was even a part of mainstream street fashion (the more obvious a woman's lack of a bra was, the better).

Vapor Wear is the default dress code for TheVamp and the FemmeFatale, whose personality traits match up well with the need to not waste any time removing her knickers, and who (if seen in something ''less'' vampy) will specifically mention the lack of underwear, which can present even an ordinary outfit as something interesting or unusual. As such, it is frequently a significant factor in the TheissTitillationTheory. A similar trope applies to HotAsHell demons and SuccubiAndIncubi (with the exception of [[Series/LostGirl one popular succubus]] who tend to avert or even invert this trope).
