There is no current image for Impossibly Cool Clothes. I was suggesting Joker from Persona 5 for the picture, with the following link be the one: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/5/59/Phantom_render.png/revision/latest?cb=20160729154419

Joker definitely fits "cool clothes" but not "impossibly", at least to my eye. Note this this is the fourth thread for this one.

I'm voting to make this a BUPKIS page.

The shawl seems like it could work, if I'm understanding the trope correctly.

I can go with the Touhou character.

[up][up]Zerochan says it's from "Comet Market 80". If we can't use it, how about Seymour from Final Fantasy X with a caption asking what those buttons are attached to?

Either image works for me.

Seymour if we can't use the Touhou image.

Seymour focuses too much on the hairs instead of the clothes. The other one works well, though.

[up]That links to a gallery, so I'm not sure which image you're suggesting. if you mean this that's Anti-Gravity Clothing

Well... looking at the examples, this trope needs more a repair shop to tighten the definition first. A LOT of examples are impractical but not impossible.

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon proved that the Sailor Senshi's uniforms are just shy of feasible in their original forms. And Tuxedo Kamen's is eminently doable, except it makes him look like a dork. Although this is mostly the hat's fault. Lose it, and he actually looks pretty cool.

Like one glaring entry...

Like Jesus its all 'impractical' and not impossible.

Hinamori Amu from Shugo Chara! always wears daily clothes that, well, at the very least much more stylized than others. Somewhat subverted that it does take her time to put all of it on.

[up] I'd be down to table this until TRS looks at it.

Yep. ‘Impossibly’ implies well ‘impossible’. Like floating parts and such, the costume could not exist in real life without super glue, assistance, and/or careful camera angles.

The examples read

  • Impossible
  • impractical or excessively extravagant
  • impractical outfit for the job, like say Frills of Justice is just not something one would actually wear into combat but they do.
  • Fancy

Impractical outfits go under Impractically Fancy Outfit which would also include the impracticality aspect mentioned on Frills of Justice.

I agree this could use TRS, but considering how slow it can be (could you please open the thread immediately if this discussion suggests TRS?) I say we should put up the Nagae Iku image.

It’s a stylized image of someone throwing around clothing but I don’t see the impossible in it.

[up] She's not tossing the shawl, she's casting a spell or using a power or some such. As I understand it, the shawl just floats around her like that.

The clock's up...is anyone going to start the TRS thread?
