Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A RelationshipUpgrade occurs when a LoveInterest wears an article of clothing belonging to another LoveInterest, which, more often than not, takes the form of a woman wearing [[TitleDrop Her Boyfriend's Jacket]].

* '''Straight''': LovableNerd Alicia P. Navarro and BruiserWithASoftCenter Flash Young have been going through some UnresolvedSexualTension, but it's quickly resolved once Alicia wears Flash's dark green leather jacket.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alicia and Flash are engaged, but the moment Alicia even ''touches'' Flash's jacket, it's an automatic sign that they're going to finally be married.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Alicia only gets into a SexyShirtSwitch with Flash after they have TheirFirstTime.
** Alicia wears something less tangible than a jacket; She copies Flash's [[DelinquentHair huge pompadour]], hair gel and all.
* '''Justified''': Fourfold; First, they're big and comfy ([[HugeGuyTinyGirl And Flash is a pretty gigantic guy, clocking in at 6'8", while Alicia is somewhere around 5'5"]]). Second, it marks both of them as taken. Third, it's like a day-long hug. Finally, it [[SmellsSexy smells like him]].
* '''Inverted''': Gender Inversion: LovableNerd Alister P. Nathanael and BruiserWithASoftCenter Felicia Long have been going through some UnresolvedSexualTension, but it's quickly resolved once Alister wears Felicia's dark green leather jacket.
* '''Subverted''': That's not actually Flash's jacket...
* '''Double Subverted''': That's his CoolBigSis Hillary's jacket. And Alicia is in love with Hillary.
* '''Parodied''':
** Wearing jackets are a sign of marriage.
** Flash's jacket is ''way'' too big for Alicia, and she looks like a TopHeavyGuy wearing his jacket.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Whether or not Alicia does this is DependingOnTheWriter.
* '''Averted''': Alicia does something else as a RelationshipUpgrade.
* '''Enforced''': It's another form of a FashionBasedRelationshipCue.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Hah... My jacket. What, ya think I'm huggin' ya just from wearin' it? That's cute."
* '''Invoked''': Flash decides to give Alicia his leather jacket once he sees her shivering, citing YouMustBeCold as an excuse.
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': Flash tells Alicia that she should probably do something else other than wear his jacket; He thinks it looks ''bizarre'' on anyone her size (not specifically her, don't worry).
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Played for Laughs''': Flash had been looking ''everywhere'' for his jacket that mysteriously went missing, and once he finds it on Alicia, he groans, realizing that he's probably gonna feel cold for the rest of the day.
