Wonder Woman (1942): Queen Clea and Zara both wear what are essentially strapless metal bras for tops. Usually when you include sexy characters in a work, you want to put them in revealing clothing for maximum fanservice. Kirie points out how dangerous that is, only for Mizore to inform her that, due to the use of magical protection in clothing, the current trend is to see how skimpy people can make the outfits and get away with it. Characters in the series routinely joke about Antonina's "obscene cuirass", to the point where it verges on Lampshade Hanging.

Also worn by the Sisters of Blood, but they are more creepy than sexy, and in a dark take, as prone to disfiguring injuries as anyone else. Remembered in the prison room on the lower floor, out on the rocky cliff where a parasol has been left and marks have been made in the cliff face. When Deedee Cadiz takes over for her missing predecessor, she claims she didn’t get the job originally because her more voluptuous figure would be too provocative. At one point in the Community episode 'A Fistful of Paintballs', Annie, wearing little more than a shirt and hot pants for gunslinging combat, says she wishes she were wearing pants.Julie in Heavy Metal 2000 changes into a swimsuit-like combat outfit (which is little more than straps covering her nipples and crotch) for the final battle, leaving most of her skin vulnerable to attack. Halter top, loincloth, one huge spiked paldroon, armored boots, and two huge chunks of metal strapped on her hips. Trakeena's outfit/armor might be more conservative and effective than Shelinda but still have holes.

Additionally, armor materials that are stiff or bulky in real life will be implausibly stretchy and skin-hugging in drawing or animation, thus showing off the character's figure more. Despite the preceding paragraph, this trope does indeed have male examples, particularly when the goal is to portray male fighters as super-macho and/or 'uncivilized'. This trope was ubiquitous in early product art, fr

This eventually becomes a running joke as the City Watch starts including members of all shapes and species, so being "in uniform" means wearing whatever parts of a uniform one can. Lampshaded by the bank-robbing aliens in one of Jhonen Vasquez's Meanwhile strips, pointing out that the tiny plate of armor on Lady Sexhole's forehead is protecting the last thing she should be concerned about. Just a nitpick I have to get off: Please don’t make me read that specific misspelling of “rogue” ever again. I can’t help obsessing (an obvious character flaw on my behalf, I guess) how an entire subculture routinely chooses to use a specific word and yet its members can not only not bring themselves to consistently use the correct spelling but routinely use the exact same misspelling to the point where I can’t believe it’s an accident that just randomly pops up on 90+% of all instances the word is used.

Kayleigh immediately remarks on the ludicrous impracticality of their outfits; and promptly has her character make for the nearest armourer to purchase more practical gear for them both. When a fan posted a complaint on Facebook about the fact that Gwendoline Christie wasn't wearing visibly "female armor", the creators of Star Wars responded saying "It's armor. The question of how a character can stay protected while wearing this stuff can be answered with protective runes in the form of tribal warpaint or tattoos, their actual armor consisting of invisible Deflector Shields, a Healing Factor making armor moot, or the "wearer" simply being a Screaming Warrior with no sense of self-preservation.Mew Zakuro of Tokyo Mew Mew wears a crop top and shorts in her transformed state, unlike her teammates who wear leotards and dresses. On the other hand, at least it was a full chestplate with no holes in it, providing identical coverage to any other Soldier of the Future's powersuit sans the fully-armored Tank. It's simply a loop of material to go around the chest, which can consume other clothing, then apply the properties of what it ate to the wearer's entire body.

letters can be the last testament to a world where I see falsehoods perpetuate without any way to correct them. Their similarly undead father actually asked for this setup as a precaution, only to realize what he signed off on, after his daughters become strong enough to manifest said bodies. Also there's Sergeant Colon, who fits his Roman-Centurion-esque breastplate "like jelly fits a mould", and Detritus, a massive troll who can't fit all his muscles into his armor. Noelle Silva's Valkyrie Armor — Mermaid Form is a bikini top and mermaid tail made of water that's meant for underwater combat.Her reasoning is simple: because her Psychic Powers render her immune to bullets, she doesn't really need the full body coverage, and the fact that their weapons are completely ineffective against a mostly-exposed girl utterly terrifies her opponents. The Bronze and some of the Silver Cloths of Saint Seiya are suits of armor that cover only a few bits of their owner's anatomy, leaving entire areas (such as the whole abdomen, thighs, face, neck) exposed to the elements. And it's not even that uncomfortable—boobs can be compressed quite a lot thanks to them being mostly fat.
