Basic Trope: Someone buys a new outfit, but it ends up being messy or damaged very quickly.
- Straight: Bob buys a new outfit, and it ends up getting covered in mud just a few hours after he puts it on for the first time.
- Exaggerated:
- Bob buys a new outfit, and tries it on forgetting that he's a werewolf and that the full moon is rising in a few minutes. Essentially, the whole thing is completely ripped to shreds.
- Bob buying new outfits only for them to get damaged is a Running Gag.
- Downplayed: Bob gets some dirt on his new clothing, but can easily put it in the washing machine.
- Justified:
- Bob forgot that he would be going to a place that involved mud shortly before putting on his new clothing.
- Dirtying your clothes is unavoidable in Bob's line of work and he keeps his clothing for a long time, but even he can't make them last forever.
- Inverted: Bob puts on dirty clothing that he was actually planning to get rid of, but it somehow fixes itself very soon after he wears it.
