* Bright green tights on RobinHood and his Merry Men. (You may have heard 'Lincoln Green' used to describe the colour the outlaws wore; in fact someone along the line misread this definition from 'Lincoln ''Graine'', which is a type of very expensive and luxurious scarlet cloth. Will 'Scarlett', anyone? The entire Robin Hood story is really a heartwarming tale about the rise of the merchant classes!)

*''Anime/IsabelleOfParis'' is set in 18th-century France and centers around a Bourgeoisie family, the Laustins, who are forced to flee for London when the oncoming Prussians overtake their country. The women of the family wear [[PimpedOutDress frilly, multi-layered, colourful dresses]] complete with jewellery and [[OjouRinglets Ojou curls]], while the sole son of the family dresses in a fancy military outfit (since he's the Captain of the French army) and the father dresses in a fancy red coat. Ironically, the main character, Isabelle, used to be a tomboy who despised "girly" dresses in her youth.



* [[AliensAreBastards The Noble Boazanians]] from ''{{Anime/Voltes V}}'' are this since they're based on the Bourgeoisie of 17th-century France. The female nobles have frilly dresses with puffy sleeves and laces, and the members of the Emperor's court wear uniforms consisting of cravats, epaulettes, cufflinks, aiguilettes and capes. On a meta level, it's likely because Tadao Nagahama also directed ''Anime/TheRoseOfVersailles''.

The only one who doesn't get to wear beautiful things is the apparition of Creator/DanteAlighieri, who, well... looks as though he's been walking through hell. His actor [[CostumeBacklash had some things to say]] about that after the final performance (jokingly).
