Are there any animated TV shows where the characters wear different clothes, instead of the same outfit each day? I can’t think of any! Well, in terms of webcomics, Questionable Content does feature the characters in different clothes. So I suppose we can count comics, too. ---

Bugs Bunny had quite a . . . “diverse” wardrobe. ---

In webcomics, Agatha Heterodyne of \*Girl Genius \*and some of the other characters change outfits now and then. Just to grab some random examples, she’s in different outfits [here](http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030611), [here](http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040130), [here](http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050131) ( in disguise ), [here](http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050216), [here](http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050504), and [here](http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090828). ---

I should not know this because I am way too old, but I thought it was a funny little show: the series _Braceface_ (starring Alicia Silverstone) had different outfits. Admittedly it was a show for preteen girls, so maybe having a varied wardrobe was _de rigeur_. Frankly I’m surprised _Josie and the Pussycats_ didn’t have costume changes – well, aside from their “normal” outfits and the leopard-skin leotards they wore for concert attire. And on the _Archie_ cartoons, I can’t believe they allowed Veronica Lodge to wear the same outfit every day! Absurd! ---

I’m trying to think of episodes within shows where there were changes now since it doesn’t seem there are too many shows where this happened. Like the Simpsons episode where they go on vacation (Summer of 4’2) and Lisa wears “cool” clothes. ---

The only animated show I can think of off the top of my head where characters frequently had different clothess _As Told By Ginger_. ---

Does anime count? _Card Captor Sakura_ has different outfits for every Clow card, I suspect because they wanted to show they weren’t cheating with the animation like _He-Man_ used to do. 🙂 ---

Disney’s _The Weekenders_—god rest it’s zombie bones—used to do it. Aaaand…TV Tropes’ [Limited Wardrobe](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LimitedWardrobe) entry has a list of shows that were exceptions to the rule, as well. (Say goodbye to your day, incidentally. :devilsmile: ) ---

[TV tropes - “Unlimited Wardrobe”](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnlimitedWardrobe) lists examples of characters having large wardrobes, including a western animation section. On the anime side, I hadn’t noticed that Asahina Mikuru in [Suzumiya Haruhi](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuzumiyaHaruhi) never wears the same casual clothes twice – apart from the variety of cosplay outfits that Suzumiya forces her to wear. ---

My recollection is that the characters in the Macross section, at least, of Robotech wore different civilian outfits. However, since most of the characters were uniformed military, it didn’t come up much. As I think about it, secondary characters always wore the same thing. But on the rare occasions when one of the leads was in civilian dress, it wasn’t always the same thing. –Cliffy ---

Kirika and Mireille in _Noir_ wear different outfits just about every episode for about the first half of the series, then they apparently needed to trim back the art budget or something because they wear pretty much the same stuff for the entire second half. Boo. ---

In Pokémon, Ash and Dawn have worn different clothes for their contests appearances, and all three are adventurers are wearing new outfits now as their travels take them north towards Snowpoint City. Ash’s outfit has also changed over the previous years several times. ---

No, but between my _second_ and third links, one of the characters changes his outfit pretty radically. The guy in the brown robe in pic 2 is the same guy in red in pic 3. ---
