> [@jonpluc](#): > > Characters in cartoons almost always seem to wear the same items of clothing every day unless the plot of the cartoon involves clothes (a wedding or Homer becomes a fireman) Can anyone name a cartoon series in print or on TV where cartoon characters just wear different clothes because thats just what people do on different days and not just because of a plot point? And why is this? Could you not figure out who Lucy was if she was wearing a green dress instead of a blue one? Jem and the Holograms, from the '80s. Jem was a fashion doll, and they actually sold the dolls in outfits somewhat similar to what they wore (and I assume extra outfits, too - I never actually had the dolls). Each character had their own wardrobe and would wear the outfits again in later episodes. But still, each of the good guys had at least a half dozen outfits. Villains and supporting characters, somewhat less so. ---

Villains and supporting characters, somewhat less so. _ahem, see post 8_ And the villains had plenty of clothes, too - the Misfits, Eric, and Techrat were released as dolls and had the wardrobes that would suggest. Techrat, in fact, had different outfits in each of his appearances. ---

The main character of the anime _Shirobako_, Aoi Miyamori, [wears](https://blog.sakugabooru.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/myaamori-stress-1038x576.jpg) [a](http://i.imgur.com/Ctt349t.png) [number](http://i.imgur.com/obWpuK7.png) [of](http://i.imgur.com/cYgCS6A.png) [different](http://i.imgur.com/fCS876Z.png) [outfits](http://i.imgur.com/0WtKIjG.png) [over](http://i.imgur.com/yWK1L6c.png) [the](http://i.imgur.com/5xuK9kh.png) [course](http://i.imgur.com/qp4X5JF.png) [of](http://i.imgur.com/LMpf9yf.png) [the](http://i.imgur.com/20WCNcO.png) [show](http://i.imgur.com/o6pUMPo.png). A quick scan of google image search for a couple of supporting characters seems to indicate that they switch outfits around too, but probably don’t have quite the same variety as Miyamori. ---
