Duplicate Trope: Hollywood Dress Code

Hollywood Dress Code's page is almost entirely general examples talking about common ways that clothes are used to show characterization (with awful indentation issues)... which seems to make it a duplicate of Stock Costume Traits (which at least is much better written). That trope has its own issues though, having no on-page examples and acting as a pseudo-index for other costume/appearance tropes despite not being listed as a definition-only page.

Both tropes are being used mostly in the descriptions of other appearance tropes instead of on work pages, which seems to indicate that we could probably merge Hollywood Dress Code with Stock Costume Traits and make the resulting page into a Exampleless Supertrope without much trouble.

Wick check:

  • Clothing is used as characterization (general concept): 24%
  • Clothing is used as characterization (specific examples): 14%
  • Character wears stereotypical clothing: 8%
  • Unrealistic dress codes/uniforms: 6%
  • ZCE/mentions in trope descriptions with little to no context: 34%
  • Averted/subverted examples (character's clothes don't characterize them): 6%
  • Indices/JFF pages: 8%

Actually, do we have a trope for "inaccurate/simplified depictions of dress codes"?

Dewicking right now. I've been removing ZCEs because I don't know how to rework them. Is that OK?

Fixed them. Dewicking is officially done, and the wick check has been cutlisted. We are good to close!
