I think it's just a trope, not an index.

I think it's a trope with a bunch of subtropes.

It is an index IMO a very well written one too since it actually describes the trope and why its in the index.

I wish all Indexes were like this one.

I agree that it's a top-level supertrope, as well as an index. The index needs some work, though. If it's going to be useful as an index, it should contain all of the character- or characterization-specific-costume tropes.

What are it's sub tropes? I just see stuff like "this character will wear X", which is not really a trope itself.

In the interest of clearing up some of the backlog, what exactly is the problem with this? The trope is "characters wear certain costume traits to portray a characteristic or profession." Below it is a list of examples with their own pages and examples without their own pages. It's describing the trope, then serving as an index.

Thanks for the all fish!

It's currently a trope+index, which seems fine.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Doesn't seem to be a problem. Locking up.
