1 | '''Basic Trope''': Part of an outfit that floats independently of gravity. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob's ScarfOfAsskicking hovers over his neck and shoulders. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Bob's whole attire hovers over his body. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Bob's wristband hovers just enough to easily slide about. |
5 | * '''Justified''': |
6 | ** Bob has latent telekinesis that causes small objects to float into the air, most commonly his various clothing items. |
7 | ** Bob's BadassCape is actually an advanced shield, the anti-gravity effect used to make it absurdly fast. |
8 | ** Bob's floating accessories have been stopped in time, thus in actuality suspended falling. |
9 | ** [[SlimeGirl Alice's]] magically floating 'clothing' is mass she shed to remotely manipulate. |
10 | ** Alice's sense of touch is too sensitive to wear much normally, thus uses anti-gravity clothing to bypass it. |
11 | * '''Inverted''': |
12 | ** Bob's clothing is incredibly clingy to his body. |
13 | ** Bob's clothing have their own personally greater gravity. |
14 | ** Bob's clothing is the only thing normally affected by gravity. |
15 | * '''Subverted''': Bob's cape seems to hover separately from gravity, but in actuality the connecting parts between it & Bob's outfit is simply invisible. |
16 | * '''Double Subverted''': ...Yet when those connectors all get broken away, Bob's cape continues to float in defiance of gravity. |
17 | * '''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]]. |
18 | * '''Zig Zagged''': ??? |
19 | * '''Averted''': Clothing simply doesn't float mysteriously over one's body, either because there's no reason to or the technology wasn't invented. |
20 | * '''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?" |
21 | * '''Lampshaded''': |
22 | ** "How do you keep your cape stationary? Must be difficult keeping that in place separate from yourself." |
23 | ** "Why do Bob and Alice, uh, 'wear' floating clothing?" "Could be any number of reasons really, but it certainly looks impressive." |
24 | * '''Invoked''': |
25 | ** Bob wants to put off a regal, mysterious air so he researches antigravity technology so he can work it into his outfit. |
26 | ** Alice, an apprising MagicalGirlWarrior, understands the downsides of capes and thus makes hers floating & detached. |
27 | * '''Exploited''': |
28 | ** Bob uses his gravity-defiant cape as a springboard and makeshift platform. |
29 | ** Drake aims his sticky bomb for the easier magically floating cape than Bob himself. |
30 | ** [[KleptomaniacHero Alice]] deliberately targets villains using anti-gravity clothing to easily get herself new clothes. |
31 | * '''Defied''': Alice refuses to wear an anti-gravity dress under the concern it might malfunction whilst wearing it. |
32 | * '''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! The floating sword turned out to be rather powerful, but why would he need a levitating cape?!" |
33 | * '''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." |
34 | * '''Implied''': Alice's necklace always seems a little too up, though as its a family heirloom some just assume the chain has locked up. |
35 | * '''Deconstructed''': |
36 | ** To actually maintain the anti-gravity of anti-gravity clothing, the 'wearer' has to constantly keep some focus on it. Thus, [[GravityMaster Alice and Bob]] are unable to fight with their full power just to keep up the floating clothes. |
37 | ** The technology necessary to make 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. |
38 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
39 | ** 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. |
40 | ** Through technological advancement, anti-gravity technology has been shrunk down in size. Thus, allowing reasonably sized clothing to be enhanced with the technology. |
41 | * '''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. |
42 | * '''Played For Drama''': Anti-gravity technology was never meant for casual use, thus [[CombatPragmatist Alice]] trying to apply it to her clothing means she's constantly in danger of WardrobeMalfunction in the midst of battle. |
