Basic Trope: An anthropomorphic animal wears a full set of clothing with shoes.

  • Straight: Robbie the raccoon wears a t-shirt, coat, pair of jeans, socks, shoes, and a hat.
  • Exaggerated: Robbie wears so much clothing to the point in which it's hard to tell that he's even a raccoon in the first place.
  • Downplayed: Robbie is otherwise fully clothed, but barefoot.
  • Justified:
    • Animals in this world have a nudity taboo, and if Animals Lack Attributes is averted, this is understandable.
    • There isn't any other reason why they can't wear shoes, either; the animals follow Humanlike Foot Anatomy.
    • Robbie works as a waiter at the Lucas Walzmenda, a high class restaurant with a three-piece-suit protocol for their front-side staff that they don't waive for any employee, let alone him.
  • Inverted: The animals wear nothing at all.
  • Subverted: Robbie appears to wear clothes... but he is just standing in front of a mannequin. He is actually nude.
  • Double Subverted: Then, Robbie goes to buy some clothes and some shoes in the clothes store.
  • Parodied: Robbie is fully dressed, and his shirt says "Definitely a Human".
  • Zig-Zagged: How much clothing Robbie wears depends on what he's doing.
  • Averted:
    • None of the animals wear full sets of clothing.
    • There are no anthropomorphic animals in the work.
  • Enforced:
  • Lampshaded: "Why do we even wear full sets of clothes and walk and talk like a human? We're animals."
  • Invoked: Robbie decides to buy a full outfit at a clothing store.
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Animals in the work decide not to wear full sets of clothes.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: "I wonder why the animals here wear full sets of clothes."
  • Implied: We never see animals wear full set of clothes. However, we hear Robbie in the shower, talking about "wearing a tuxedo and boots for a wedding tonight".
  • Deconstructed: Robbie starts feeling uncomfortable with all those clothes on.
  • Reconstructed: But his fur begins to take its toll in the middle of his job, hence his need for clothes.
