* In ''Film/{{Apollo 13}}'', the Lovell's teenaged daughter wants to go out for Halloween dressed like a hippie, and her parents tell her she can't go out dressed that way.
* ''The Cheerleaders'' (1974 softcore comedy film): Jeanne, a new cheerleader, is going to a party dressed in a very tight shirt and shorts she wore when she was 10 years old. Her father doesn't let her go. Her new cheerleader friends explain that you have to sneak out in more conservative garb and then change.
* ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'' (bowdlerization taken from its 20th Anniversary Edition): "You're not going out dressed like that! You look like a hippie!"
* In ''Film/TheSnapper'' the second-eldest daughter Lisa, who's presumed to be 13 or 14, wears a Madonna-like short skirt and jewellery and leather boots much to the patriarch's dismay.

* In one episode of ''Series/ClarissaExplainsItAll'', Clarissa argues with her mother over what she will wear for the school photos.
* In the first episode of ''Series/DerryGirls'', Erin attempts to wear a jean jacket instead of her school uniform blazer to school. Her mom argues with her about this and threatens her with a wooden spoon, leading to a GilliganCut where Erin is headed to school in her usual uniform.
* In the ''Series/HappyDays'' episode "The Fonz is Allergic to Girls" (the title MakesSenseInContext), Joanie Cunningham is going to a party with a towel wrapped around her but she's actually wearing clothes underneath it. Howard, her father, tells her not to go to the party like that but lets her go when she reveals that she's wearing clothes under the towel.
* ''Series/SexEducation'': Eric's father quietly disapproves of his flamboyant outfits and crossdressing. This concern is justified as it incites violent homophobic action against him.
* In the ''Series/YesDear'' episode, "Pimpin' Ain't Easy", the Warner and Hughes families are about to go out to eat at a fancy restaurant, when Logan decides to protest against having to wear his older brother Dominic's hand-me-downs by wearing only his underwear. Jimmy and Christine, his parents, don't approve of this at all, and Jimmy tries to get Logan to stop by telling him that if he goes to the restaurant in his underwear, people will point, stare, and laugh at him. This doesn't faze Logan at all, and he decides to go to the restaurant in just his underwear.

** Another strip involves Calvin trying on TriangleShades, only for his mom to refuse to buy them.
** In one strip, Calvin decides to invert his pants and shirt when headed to school, but his mom has none of it.
* In one ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'' cartoon, a fly leaves for a date, with her father telling her to remove some of that makeup and the gallon of pheromones.
* ''ComicStrip/StoneSoup:'' While it's not unusual for Holly to favor pieces that are both high-priced ''and'' slutty, in one strip she managed to outdo even herself in such a way that her mother Val finally laid down the law: "NO DAUGHTER OF MINE IS GOING OUT LOOKING LIKE THAT!!!"
