Fanservice demands that these clothes be sexy, not comfortable.
The limit of the Willing Suspension of Disbelief for a given element is directly proportional to its sexiness.
In other words, when things are sufficiently sexy, viewers will accept them, even when they are outright impossible, or just astronomically improbable in reality.
Of course, some of these cases can be justified In-Universe if the characters demonstrating this have radically different anatomy than ours or if they have a superpower that would justify this one way or another (such as shapeshifting or size alteration, for example).
