* Many ‘’WesternAnimation/KimPossible’’ fanfics depict Kim using one of Ron’s red hockey jerseys as sleepwear.
* Two variations are used in the ‘’FanFic/FacingTheFutureSeries’’. The first was when Sam used one of Danny’s jumpsuits in her transformation into Sam Tasma. While she mostly did it because Danny was the same size as her, she did get a thrill out of wearing Danny’s clothes at the same time. The second was when Sam dressed like Danny for Halloween [[spoiler:mostly to creep Tucker and Valerie out by [[ScrewYourself making out with Danny while looking like him]]]].

* While two instances where Sam dressed up like Danny in ‘’WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom’’ couldn’t be considered this, the time they both had a shared dream where they were dating with Sam wearing Danny’s football jacket (him being on the football team in the dream) could count as this. There’s also the instance in the GrandFinale where Danny gives Sam the [[ChekhovsGun class ring]] he got from Jack, making them officially boyfriend and girlfriend.

* The magnificently funny ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' fanfic ''[[http://www.geocities.ws/fenwulf16/Crossedwires.txt Crossed Wires]]'' spoofs this trope when Ranma [[GenderBender in girl mode]] has to borrow Ryouga's clothes, including his distinctive shirt, and everyone [[ItMakesSenseInContext immediately assumes]] this trope is now in play. HilarityEnsues.

* A major ShipTease moment in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' is when a distraught [[KnightInSourArmor Sandor Clegane]] tears off his Kingsguard cloak and abandons it in [[PrincessClassic Sansa Stark]]'s room.

* Literature/{{Discworld}} ''Fanfic/WhyAndWere'' has a scene where Assassin Johanna dons Wizard Ponder Stibbons' wizarding robes. Partly because they're warm, comfortable and smell slightly of Ponder. (a big plus in the early stages of a relationship). But mainly because she'd otherwise have had to answer the door naked.

* In ''Literature/TheDarkSideOfNowhere'', there's a gender reversal of this.

* In his book ''Couplehood'' Paul Reiser complains about this practice ([[http://books.google.com/books?id=pK3tPX-z1nwC&pg=PA180&lpg=PA180&dq=couplehood+jacket&source=bl&ots=ZVQ5AJAYlr&sig=c8a49Bf6aiMLQ_HgipihcxMSMkc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=wI_-UYDkCMT4yAHNiYGYBg&ved=0CD4Q6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=couplehood%20jacket&f=false Link!]])...
-->''And of course, later, it's freezing, and she's huddled in my jacket, and I, who knew to bring a jacket, am wearing no jacket. And the kicker is: It's not like my jacket looks so good on her anyway. It certainly looks worse than whatever jacket of her own she would have put on.''

** Tara wears Willow's sweater in the fourth season episode "New Moon Rising", which precipitates the episode's trouble.

** Discussed [[spoiler:and subverted]] in the second season. Finn and Rachel think that Sam is dating Kurt after they see him wearing Kurt's jacket, specifically citing the common practice among girls of wearing their boyfriend's jackets. It later turns out that [[spoiler:Sam's dad lost his job, with the result of the Evans family becoming so poor that they're staying in a hotel room. The jacket in question was part of a handout package consisting of Kurt's old clothes given specifically with the intent of helping out Sam's family.]]

* In "The Little Kicks" episode of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', [[GirlOfTheWeek Anna]] returns to work at the J. Peterman Catalog at one point, wearing George's Yankees jacket, after Elaine warned her to stay away from him on the grounds that he's "a bad seed".

Jewelry is small and hard to see, and a bit beyond the typical high-schooler's budget. So how's a TV show to demonstrate that Bob and Alice are a couple? Well, making mad passionate sex would probably do it, but would probably get the show booted from prime time. Also, the FCC frowns upon even ''simulated'' underage sex. So instead, Alice wears Bob's jacket. If Bob's some kind of athlete, expect it to be his letterman jacket.

* A major ShipTease moment in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' is when a distraught Sandor Clegane tears off his Kingsguard cloak and abandons it in Sansa's room. She picks up the cloak and wraps herself in it (this has added RuleOfSymbolism, as in a Westerosi wedding the husband wraps his wife in his cloak) and later hides the cloak in a chest.

Related to YouMustBeCold, which is a one-time romantic gesture (often as part of a ShipTease). This is a long term appropriation of clothing to demonstrate a relationship. Also related to SexyShirtSwitch, where she appropriates other articles of clothing after sex. These are all signs of intimacy. SexyShirtSwitch is sexual intimacy, Her Boyfriends Jacket is emotional intimacy (slash ownership).

* During the brief time they were dating in ''WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger'', Ginger did wear Darrin's jacket.

And it need not only be women wearing something of their men's collection. A man is less likely to wear his girlfriend's clothing, but a token is often passed in that direction, as in ChivalricRomance when a man receives TheLadysFavor, usually in the form of a scarf or other small piece.
