* '''Discussed''': "I hate to admit it, but Emperor Evulz' [[FlyingWeapon Telekinetic Sword]] is really cool! Do you think he as an anti-gravity cape to go along with it?" "That's ridiculous! I admit the floating sword turned out to be rather powerful, but why would he need a levitating cape?!"

** [[SlimeGirl Alice's]] magically floating 'clothing' is mass she shed to remotely manipulate.
** Alice's sense of touch is too sensitive to wear much normally, thus uses anti-gravity clothing to bypass it.



** Bob's clothing is the only thing normally affected by gravity.



* '''Invoked''': Bob wants to put off a regal, mysterious air so he researches antigravity technology so he can work it into his outfit.

** To actually maintain the anti-gravity of anti-gravity clothing, the 'wearer' has to constantly keep some focus onto it. Thus, [[GravityMaster Alice and Bob]] are unable to fight with their full power just to keep up the floating clothes.
** The technology necessary to take anti-gravity clothing is better used for other things, and even if used in clothing the resultant would be so unwieldy & massive you couldn't take it anywhere.

Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Part of an outfit that floats independently of gravity.
* '''Straight''': Bob's ScarfOfAsskicking hovers over his neck and shoulders.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob's whole attire hovers over his body.
* '''Downplayed''': Bob's wristband hovers just enough to easily slide about.
* '''Justified''':
** Bob has latent telekinesis that causes small objects to float into the air, most commonly his various clothing items.
** Bob's BadassCape is actually an advanced shield, the anti-gravity effect used to make it absurdly fast.
** Bob's floating accessories have been stopped in time, thus in actuality suspended falling.
* '''Inverted''':
** Bob's clothing is incredibly clingy to his body.
** Bob's clothing have their own personally greater gravity.
* '''Subverted''': Bob's cape seems to hover separately from gravity, but in actuality the connecting parts between it & Bob's outfit is simply invisible.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...Yet when those connectors all get broken away, Bob's cape continues to float in defiance of gravity.
* '''Parodied''': [[VainSorceress Alice]], taking great pride in her magic has her entire attire floating away from herself. Looking downright {{Stripperiffic}} as a result, Alice confidently strolls out of her lab- And is instantly reduced to nudity just by [[SneezeOfDoom sneezing]].
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Clothing simply doesn't float mysteriously over one's body, either because there's no reason to or the technology wasn't invented.
* '''Enforced''': "We need Bob to understand that [[AngelUnaware Alice]] isn't quite human. Why not have some of her accessories floating in defiance of gravity?"
* '''Lampshaded''': "How do you keep your cape stationary? Must be difficult keeping that in place separate from yourself."
* '''Invoked''': Bob wants to put off a regal, mysterious air so he researches antigravity technology so he can work it into his outfit.
* '''Exploited''':
** Bob uses his gravity-defiant cape as a springboard and makeshift platform.
** Drake aims his sticky bomb for the easier magically floating cape than Bob himself.
* '''Defied''': Alice refuses to wear an anti-gravity dress under the concern it might malfunction whilst wearing it.
* '''Discussed''': "Why do Bob and Alice, uh, 'wear' floating clothing?" "Could be any number of reasons really, but it certainly looks impressive."
* '''Conversed''': "Where's the logic in anti-gravity clothing? Seriously, that's even ''worst'' than capes!" "Well, an anti-gravity cape makes for a good springboard for starters, and a floating crown would be a small target."
* '''Implied''': Alice's necklace always seems a little too up, though as its a family heirloom some just assume the chain has locked up.
* '''Deconstructed''':
** To actually maintain the anti-gravity of anti-gravity clothing, the 'wearer' has to constantly keep some focus onto it. Thus, [[GravityMaster Alice and Bob]] are unable to fight with their full power just to keep up the floating clothes.
** The technology necessary to take anti-gravity clothing is better used for other things, and even if used in clothing the resultant would be so unwieldy & massive you couldn't take it anywhere.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Though Bob and Alice have to constantly exert focus to keep their anti-gravity clothing floating, doing so has trained them to more efficiently use their powers. Thus, they're able to fight easily after having done this for so long.
** Through technological advancement, anti-gravity technology has been shrunk down in size. Thus, allowing reasonably sized clothing to be enhanced with the technology.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice, her allergies acting up, ends up sneezing regularly throughout the day causing her to briefly turn {{Stripperiffic}} as her anti-gravity clothing gets pushed back by the force.
* '''Played For Drama''': Anti-gravity technology was never meant for casual use, thus [[Combat Pragmatist Alice]] trying to apply it to her clothing means she's constantly in danger of WardrobeMalfunction in the midst of battle.
