== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In one episode of ''[[Hana Yori Dango]]'', Tsukushi shows up under-dressed for a party at the Domyoji estate. In this case, her wearing an inappropriately informal dress is a reminder of the class difference between her family and the Domyoji family.
* In an episode of ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'', Eva refuses to allow her bodyguard to come into a hotel with her because he doesn't meet the hotel's dress code. She subsequently takes him shoppping to get a suit and tie, which she forces him to wear when he accompanies her.
* [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] by Sayoko in the anime of ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'', in order to make Belldandy look bad. Thanks to Belldandy's obvious [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]], it doesn't work.
 
 
== [[Film]] ==
* In ''[[As Good as It Gets]]'', Melvin Udall shows up inappropriately dressed for a restaurant with a dress code. It's not a matter of money here—he could afford a suit and tie—but his failure to realize that the restaurant had a dress code might serve as a reminder that he doesn't go out on dates all that often.
* ''[[The Sting]]''. Henry Gondorff (going under the name "Shaw") shows up to join a poker game on a train.
{{quote|'''Lonnegan:''' Mr. Shaw, we usually require a tie at this table. If you don't have one, we can get ya one. }}
* ''[[Top Secret]]''. Nick Rivers arrives at a fancy restaurant for dinner.
{{quote|'''Nick:''' A table for two, please. The name is Rivers.
'''Maitre d':''' Ah, yes. Mr Rivers. I have it right here, but we require a jacket and tie for the dining room. We will be very happy to provide you with one. }}
* ''[[What a Girl Wants]]'': Daphne Reynolds is convinced by her almost step-sister Clarissa Payne that the fashion show they are going to is informal, while its just the opposite. Much to Clarissa's dismay, everyone thinks that Daphne's one of the models, and she steals the show.
* ''[[Pulp Fiction]]''. Vincent and Jules wear some very casual clothing to a meeting with their boss Marcellus, because they had to change out of what they were wearing due to the old clothes having [[I Just Shot Marvin in the Face|Marvin's brain matter splattered all over them]].
* ''[[Real Genius]]'': Chris shows up to his job interview wearing deelyboppers and an "I Heart Toxic Waste" T-shirt. In this case, it's meant to establish the character as a [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]].
* In ''[[I Heart Huckabees]]'', one of the weird coincidences that kick off the plot involves Albert finding a business card in the pocket of a jacket loaned to him by the restaurant where he tries to dine without one.
