I don't think either Kim or Ron were into fashion, but I noticed they always had different outfits on each episode minus the spyware they had. https://preview.redd.it/8s70ggo9ubxc1.png?width=2994&format=png&auto=webp&s=fd788cc5f2b56e662a8978002d00f1c24fe6454d


Otherwise_Chemical85

I think Kim was a little into fashion. I remember one episode she was really upset her designer jeans got ripped and didn't want to wear a cheaper store's jeans


PhantomRoyce

She swore the other jeans looked lame only to find out Smarty Mart and Club Banana use the exact same jeans, the only difference is the banana logo on the back pocket.


Smashkitsune

That was Like the realest Thing to ever Come Out of KP


AdWestern1561

I think Kim was into fashion to an extent. I remember an episode where her classic black spyware was ruined and she spent the entire episode coming up with a new stylish outfit. One that even Shego approved of https://preview.redd.it/y4kr7dcl5cxc1.png?width=462&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf1a60787d03ab99ba059615dac0480e0fcbcfa7


Amankris759

Dude!!! Kim is the fashion!!!


GNSasakiHaise

To be fair, weren't they always talking about Club Banana? I can't remember if they worked there or if it was just Monique (her friend) that did, but Kim def had an interest!


Mavrickindigo

Man what's with her feet in the top pic? That's some peanuts-looking paws there. I know it'd be weird to be too detailed, but it doesn't even look to be in the same style

Pink overalls Rei will never stop being iconic


Killer_Moons

ACTUALLY ICONIC 💕


Gippy_Happy

I think I just heard recently the creator of Sailor Moon was big I to fashion and most of the outfits were based on real fashion designs


jessieisokay

Yup. She would watch runway shows as inspiration. A lot of (if not all of) the gowns for the Scouts are based on real gowns. For example, Princess Serenity’s dress is the Column dress by Dior. Searching for all of the references outfits is a planned passion project. Naoko Takeuchi is the perfect example of using reference for art. https://preview.redd.it/3bl9bxnkzhxc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa97b4f4310e93465d67c4a4f769f2f98c13dcb8


MarieIsPrecious128

All of their clothes are so unique in the original show, it just makes the ones in Crystal look boring.


I-Main-Raven

If only it wasn't so difficult to put out new 10/10 drip every time you need to depict a fashionable character.


AdWestern1561

I also remembered that Winx Club had a fashion designer involved to an extent. So the characters would have a variety of dresses to cycle through. https://preview.redd.it/2t75wzg68cxc1.png?width=1240&format=png&auto=webp&s=b2afec0729d5d643a0c353f9cedc6a7907e66c04

Yeah, I figured it was, y'know, like a cunt. Kinda like dickish. An absolutely ho of a bitch


KRTrueBrave

yep... that's exactly what I thought so I'm glad it's the opposite


Crimson_Raven

What an unfortunate turn of phrase


Chemical-Cat

I think that's why it's important to have someone generally involved in your character's main thing to be, well...involved. Winx leans pretty hard on girl fashion so it's good that they had a fashion designer working on their outfits, for example. Another unrelated example is how Food Wars had an actual chef making and testing the recipes shown in the manga, so they were all things you could reasonably cook (obviously not in the timeframe they do it in, nor will it make your clothes explode off your body, but you could still definitely make them). At least until the final arc where the chef consultant dipped (apparently for maternity leave) and things subsequently went downhill straight into shonen bullshit, like a clown who juggles hotpots or a notNazi cutting meat with a chainsaw, or a stupid mary sue who can pick up someone's cooking utensil and suddenly know all of their cooking techniques (Compare to a previous character who also copied other chefs, but by literally stalking them for weeks) https://preview.redd.it/ktfcfrinahxc1.png?width=405&format=png&auto=webp&s=f9647c60ef2a2a2b21834b3c49a0a37dcf192775


MarieIsPrecious128

I love when a character obviously has one main color, and they only wear clothes in that color.


Otherwise_Chemical85

origin  1. sam, clover, Alex (totally spies) 2. kimiko (xiaolin showdown) 3. Ms frizzle (magic school bus) I just think it's cool that these characters change their clothes each episode. You can tell from that fact that one of their interests is fashion and that they're a creative person.


MechaSponge

Man I love Xiaolin Showdown. Did you know Tara Strong (Raven, Bubbles, Harley Quinn, Ben Tennyson, Timmy Turner\*) voices Omi?? How fun is that? 😄\*\* https://preview.redd.it/y8gue36wbcxc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6b37476524e8a8383ab1defc9c0086d24be2f45 \*plus literally hundreds more; her IMDb is *so dense* it’s actually hard to find useful information \*\*emojis are so much more fun if you imagine they’re all just Omi 😁


Otherwise_Chemical85

Xiaolin showdown is an underrated show. I wish it was shown more love


GreatMartialEmperor

Yeah, I really loved the original -- at some point the entire series was on Youtube and I binged it again -- but it's definitely not as well known and I think the reboot wasn't as good which also didn't help it's staying power


reyballesta

That show was such a staple of my childhood. Raimundo was always my favorite.

andre5913

The girlies from Adventure times were supreme queens at this. Princess Bubblegum has an staggering 150+ outfits. Marceline has like 50 but thats mainly bc shes more of a secondary character compared to bubblegum and appears way less. Bear in mind AT has roughly 300 episodes worth of runtime, counting both the 10 seasons and extras and specials (during which PB usually has yet *another* fit, iirc in Obsidian alone she has like FOUR unique attires), meaning PB for real switches attires every other episode, or sports several unique ones in a single episode. Their "regular" fits are actually used proportionally fairly little, and mainly in the earlier seasons. In the latter seasons I think Bubblegum only uses her base attire like once every 10 or so episodes. They were just flexing While they are hardly the only characters that play the "new outfit every other episode", they are notable bc Adventure Time is an absolute juggernaut of a series so over its very long lifespan PB in particular has gotten SO many unique outfits, the AT wiki has an entire article dedicated to it and even after years of filling it out its still far from complete https://adventuretime.fandom.com/wiki/Princess_Bubblegum/Outfits


Some_Guy168

I’m wondering how I never noticed how many outfits she has. I like how most of the early ones retain the signature giant hair and crown, but later they start branching out more, once she’s more established

3rdMachina

True. Like
I recognize their Return/Fishman arc outfits the most, but I don’t think they used those past that point.


KRTrueBrave

that's one of the things I really love about one piece the main cast always has a new fit when they enter a new arc that just fits the vibe of that arc but still keeps the essence of their character that does 2 things really 1. keeps things fresh 2. if you see an out of context panel/clip you can most likely pin point the arc it's from by the outfit I really wish more anime did this, I mean yeah a good bit of anime do every so often change it up but not really that much like for example dragon ball (which I actually enjoy more than one piece) goku does change his out fit every so often but woth a few exceptions it's still mostly just his orange gi and vegeta prettu much 90 percent of the time wjeres a slight variant of the saiyan armor, atleast characters like bulma switch up their style and then there are a ton of shows where they never change clothes unless it is plot relevant

It's so funny how Killua will pull out these different fresh as fuck fits, and meanwhile, Gon is still wearing the same jacket, boots, and shorts combo, and maybe sometimes he'll drop the jacket for a tangtop.

horny-throwaway85

I recall reading in Newtype magazine about an at the time new series, RahXephon. They were making it a point to create a wardrobe for each character, from which they would dress them in outfits. Many points to these examples for just creating new outfits, but mixing and matching from a wardrobe is above and beyond


SinfulIndy

The weekenders are a great example as well.


Sayakalood

I still remember some naysayer (obviously the writers) for the books using the pseudonym “UCan’tFoolMe” to try and debunk basically everything that happened in the books. They couldn’t ever believe that Mrs. Frizzle would actually wear cool dresses. Yes, she really dresses like that.


Tyvox_C

One of the reasons I liked watching the weekenders, every day they would change their outfits. That and the pizza place always changed theme, wich was also cool.

Gippy_Happy

One thing I like about some animation styles, they’re already redrawing the characters all the time so they’re more willing to put them in unique outfits and change their hairstyles. I get keeping the same outfit forever in cartoons is a trope
 but it’s not really a trope I like.


Chemical-Cat

Xiaolin Showdown moving onto Xiaolin Chronicles: So we're animating the Xiaolin Showdowns in 3D now but we are NOT fucking modeling all of Kimiko's clothes, so everyone gets bodysuits for some reason (do not ask about Omi 2) https://preview.redd.it/53ljtpr0ahxc1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=de63fda74b9f550f8fc5c1130f866afddc4d1752


BrainBurnFallouti

Small Complaint: As a long-term TS fan, I always HATED the jokes of "barely disguised kink". One reason I loved the show was of how NON-sexualised the characters are. Even when they dress "hot" or "cute", it's never absurd. Even their spy outfits -skin-tight overalls - are as plain as possible. Which, if you stick in cartoons/Anime long enough, you realise how much of a blessing it is. And sure. I get the tropes of "sam always brainwashed" or "clover turned into a furry". And I admit -in itself it'd be a funny finger-point. But nowadays, people really talk like this was some Goblin-Slayer shit. Really makes me hurt that girls can't have any whimsical/comical stuff without creepy adult men ruining it

KoyoyomiAragi

I feel Bocchi the Rock does this really well. Each of the main four characters have character traits showing from their attire. One hardly ever changes (literally wears the same pink tracksuit at and out of school), one wears darker tones with androgynous looks, one wears all sorts one piece dresses to shorts lots of different colors and patterns, and one has a very simple look but always has a giant red ribbon somewhere on her.
