In any disaster, you can expect to get dirty. Volcano erupts? Everyone gets covered in ash. Trudging through the jungle? Yeah, you're gonna get hot and sweaty. Plane crash? Your clothing is gonna get messed up, right? Not this guy. Most potential Clothing Damage seems to actively avoid him. A tornado doesn't even muss his hair. He laughs as he gleefully skips through The End of the World as We Know It, confident that if he dies, he will die with perfectly creased pants. Closely related to Dirt Forcefield as well as Beauty Is Never Tarnished, which is more about the person being damaged than the fashion. Compare Improbable Hairstyle and Magic Pants. Such people are often a Badass in a Nice Suit. When it is depicted as an explicit superpower, it becomes My Suit Is Also Super. |

Uryuu Ishida in Bleach. Possibly justified in that he's a ranged fighter, but NOTHING TOUCHES THIS GUY in a series where male characters suffer Clothing Damage all the time. Justified by him keeping spare capes and cloaks on his person and likely uses his Super-Speed to sneak in some stitching/pinning. | |

Explored in the Coldfire Trilogy. Smug Snake Gerald Tarrant is always impeccably neat in beautiful clothes, no matter how much mud or char or fire they have to slog through. It soon becomes obvious that he is using magic to maintain his appearance, as he's incredibly vain. There's even one instance in the second book where he's half-dead from overextending his powers, but he still pauses in the middle of enemy territory to use some of his remaining strength to clean himself up. | |

In the original Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), Hopkirk (Deceased) had the standard in-universe ghost's outfit, a pristine white suit. Since it had to be kept clean to indicate his ghostly nature, the actor — Kenneth Cope — was forever having to change suits when he got marks on them; at the end of the series, he apparently amused himself by jumping, in-costume, into a pool of dirty water, changing, and then doing it again, and again, and again, until he'd messed up every last one. Trash the Set is an established trope; but is this the only case of Trash The Costume? | |

The Suffering series uses this as part of the moral barometer. Good Torque stays clean and his family photograph he was carrying perfectly intact despite the lack of any carrying case and the fighting he's involved in. Neutral Torque which is still pretty bastardy but not psychopathic, given the backstory ends up dirty with some photograph damage. Evil Torque looks less healthy on top of that and the photograph majorly degraded. | |

The cape of a warden cannot be stained with blood in The Dresden Files, and Clothing Damage is far rarer than direct injury (particularly in the case of Harry's magically armored leather duster). Muck, bruises, cuts, and any gunge on the skin itself, on the other hand, tends to avert this with a vengeance for anyone who's not a high-level magical being (especially Harry). For said high-level magical beings, the rule that "if his/her hair is mussed, we're all boned" still holds, and thus plays the entire trope straight for them. One of the less well-known properties of putting spell defense on clothes is that if they get muddy or gunked up, you can throw them in the fire and then scrape off the dried gunk. | |

Supernatural: In the episode ""All Hell Breaks Loose, Part One", Ava has been in a ghost town, presumably without a change of clothes or running water, for 5 months, but her clothes appear clean and undamaged. Those in Purgatory don't seem to suffer any noticeable Clothing Damage, despite many having battled there for decades or centuries with only the clothes they died in. Aside from blood splatter, Dean's neatly-trimmed hair and clothes survived just fine for a year, and he doesn't even have the excuse of being dead. |

This is kind of how Power Rangers works, for both men and women. The rangers will go through hideous-looking fights, either in street clothes or in very thin spandex bodysuits. There are usually guns, swords, lasers, and every other weapon imaginable. Yet they never get scratched, bruised, or end up limping. Hell, half of the time, after a fight, they're not even sweating or breathing hard. There are aversions for dramatic effect though; the Lost Galaxy and Time Force Red Rangers both had their visors shattered, for instance. Bizarrely averted across the Pacific, where Super Sentai costumes are just as damage immune as the Power Rangers but fights that result in a forced Demorph back to civvies attire, there's more visible damage, though even then it tends to be nasty cuts and bruises rather than clothing damage. These injuries tend to last for the remainder of the storyline... especially if it's a cliffhanger. |

Most old westerns did this. The Lone Ranger never got mussed, despite the fact that his shirt was light blue and his pants were tan. Neither did Gene Autrey or Roy Rogers. John Wayne never got mussed, either. In fact, it was so pervasive in westerns that it was parodied in The Villain — Arnold Schwarzenegger is dressed all in white and he still never gets dirty. | |

Codex Alera discusses this trope in relation to the cleanliness and grooming of legion officers; after suddenly finding himself The Captain right as all hell breaks loose, Tavi is reminded to shave. He thinks this is hardly the time for that, but gets reminded that the captain he's replacing was never seen unshaven, and it's important for troop morale that their commander at least looks like the situation is so well-in-hand he can spend time making himself look the part. | |

One minor benefit of the Creature of Fable arc from Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine is that the world will tend to bend so that your preferred look is dominant at all times. This means that someone whose signature style is "completely immaculate" will not only tend to emerge from crises and disasters with their suit perfect but if someone deliberately messes it up it'll tend to repair itself, and even if they are stripped naked and thrown into the middle of the Walking Fields it'll probably be only a matter of time before they find a conveniently abandoned suitcase containing a suit in their size. | |

Odo and other changelings in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine tend to look very neat and tidy when they assume a humanoid shape (Odo daily, the others rarely), as their clothing is a part of their body. However, in episodes where Odo has his shapeshifting abilities blocked so that he can't assume a liquid state to rest (as he must every sixteen hours), he starts to break down, suffering damage to his skin, hair, and clothing. | |

The Witch of Knightcharm: Claudette is an example. Only rookies who complete the orientation course at her evil Wizarding School are allowed to get new outfits, and everyone's luggage was confiscated upon arrival, meaning students who can't finish the course are stuck in the increasingly-tattered outfits they were wearing when they arrived. But despite this, Claudette manages to look impeccable even after a few days of trying and failing to pass the course. It's revealed this is because she is naturally skilled at cosmetic and beauty magic. | |

Shows up in Jason Cosmo when early on it's noted wizard Mercury Boltblaster looks immaculate (after a day's ride through dust and mud) - despite having very good reasons to restrict his personal spellcasting. It turns out his clothing is top-of-the-line product from the kingdom Raelna's advanced magical textile industry; it self-cleans (and gradually self-repairs) while adjusting color, weave and cut to suit its wearer's immediate preference. After passing through Raelna as guests of the ruler, the same applies to the rest of the party. | |

In Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Catherine Weaver always looks composed, even when a warehouse has just exploded on her. This is mostly because her hair and clothing are actually made of shape-shifting liquid metal. | |

Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000 almost always have immaculately clean armor (when not in battle, anyway). Justified, as they regularly have legions of chapter serfs polish it so that their heraldry is easily visible. | |

Played with and lampshaded in Last Action Hero, in a scene where Jack Slater falls into a tar pit and emerges completely covered. The camera cuts away briefly as he begins wiping himself off, and when it cuts back a few seconds later he is completely clean. His sidekick remarks that tar actually sticks to some people. | |

Noticed and is a plot point in Hunter × Hunter: Hisoka becomes suspicious that his opponent, Kastro, never seems to suffer any damage. Hisoka correctly deduces that what he's fighting is just a projection of Kastro and not the real thing—Hisoka figuring it out ultimately leads to the end of Kastro's long winning streak of battles. | |

This is actually one of Superman's many powers; any clothing that touches his skin is as impervious as he is (and in an episode of Lois & Clark, shrinks with him). Only the part that actually touches, though, which is why his cape always gets shredded. In the comics, this is a result of a nearly skin-tight forcefield. During the Silver Age it was because everything from Krypton was as invulnerable as Superman. One diagram of his Fortress of Solitude had a ceiling-mounted, high-powered plasma torch he basically uses as a shower to quickly burn off any grime that gets on his suit. | |

Occurs at the end of Ghostbusters (1984). After the explosion of the marshmallow man, three of the Ghostbusters struggle back to consciousness absolutely COVERED head to toe in marshmallow. Enter Venkman, stage left, almost pristine with a couple of small marshmallow spots. | |

Seems to be a trait of Kingsman agents in Kingsman: The Secret Service, the only one to look even slightly dishevelled is Harry when a Hate Plague causes him to get into a brawl with upwards of 70 people. Even then, the result is that his hair gets a little mussed up. Justified in that a Kingsman suit is literally bulletproof. | |

GURPS has a few ways a character can have the trait they prevent a character from looking messy but not much else. One of the examples of what the Shtick Perk can do. In higher-tech worlds, a character can also buy special fabrics that shed dirt and sweat instantly. There is also the No Visible Damage perk, which lets a character appear unharmed no matter what happens to her body. Combined with the Supersuit perk, it's possible for a person with no other powers to stand at ground zero from a nuclear blast and leave an immaculate corpse fifteen miles away. |

Pokémon: The Original Series: In the episode "Showdown at the Po-ké Corral", Jessie, James, and Meowth find Giovanni after Mewtwo destroys Team Rocket headquarters, which Giovanni was inside at the time. Giovanni was covered in rubble, but when he gets up he's totally clean. Even his Persian is fine. | |
