Back to ModestRoyalty, Your Highness, but please...do something about that...''tee shirt'', was it? What would your mother, the Queen, bless her soul, think!?

* '''Exaggerated''': Prince Bob wears T-shirts and shorts on all occasions, even extremely formal ones.

* '''Straight''': Prince Bob of the Kingdom of Tropevania, wears plain shirts and otherwise normal clothing most of the time, and will change into formal garb only under duress.
* '''Exaggerated''': Prince Bob wears t-shirts and shorts on all occasions, even extremely formal ones.

** Alternatively, Bob [[WalkingShirtlessScene wears a mere loincloth]]--his ''body'' is what he's showing off.
** Prince Bob dresses in a fashion that is so bizarrely Spartan that it is itself a form of showing off. No ''real'' begger would ever wear anything like ''that''.
** The simple clothes that Prince Bob wears are actually quite luxurious in his homeland.
* '''Double Subverted''':

** That body being of course, a state of the art MobileSuitHuman, which is designed to be ordinary looking, so people can judge him based on his actions.
* '''Parodied''': Bob looks like a monk.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Some royals wear ornate clothes, others dress more casually. Bob's mother is likewise sensible with her outfit but his sister wears too much jewelry to move.
* '''Averted''': Bob dresses about the way you would expect a Prince to look.
* '''Enforced''': It's a stage or dance production where RequisiteRoyalRegalia is too expensive or cumbersome for the character -- they dress Prince Bob plainly and use minimal costuming and dialogue cues to show who is the ruler.

* '''Exploited''': ???

* '''Deconstructed''': Bob dresses plainly because no one, not even him, takes his title seriously. The monarchy is a complete joke and the ruler is just a figurehead. Consequently, when he is called upon to lead in a crisis, no one will listen to him.

* '''Inverted''': Bob wears his RequisiteRoyalRegalia on all occasions, even barbecues, sporting events, and pool parties.

** Prince Bob's regalia is considered sacred and has to be kept utterly spotless. It cannot be used except during the most ostentatious of ceremonies. On other occasions he wears ordinary cloths.

** Bob appears to wear very simple clothing, but it's made of silks and velvets and is probably more expensive and lush than jewels and fur capes.

* '''Downplayed''': Prince Bob is a SharpDressedMan with a modern fashion sense, in a work where all other royals go for GorgeousPeriodDress.

* '''Downplayed''': ???

** That body being of course, a state of the art MobileSuitHuman, which he uses to hide his natural charm.

** That body being of course, a custom made MobileSuitHuman

* '''Justified''': The attitude in the kingdom is against grand display, and Bob dresses down to sway with this notion.

** Prince Bob is home in his palace and the only one's around are the royal family and [[OldRetainer Old Retainers]] who have known him to long to be impressed whatever he does. It would be absurd to put on airs.

* '''Subverted''': Bob appears to wear very simple clothing, but it's made of silks and velvets and is probably more expensive and lush than jewels and fur capes.

* '''Double Subverted''': He was kidding when he said that.

* '''Deconstructed''': Bob dresses plainly because no one, not even him, takes his title seriously. The monarchy is a complete joke and the ruler is just a figurehead. Consequently, when he is called upon to lead in a crisis, no one will listen to him.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob dresses plainly because he is not only a pretty face but a competent leader, and he doesn't need showy clothes to command respect.

** Alternatively, Bob wears a mere loincloth--it's his ''body'' he's showing off.

** That body being of course, a custom made MobileSiutHuman
