Stumbling across a discarded pile of empty clothing is a bad thing in Fiction. After all, those clothes used to belong to somebody, and people don't just... decide to take off and leave their clothes behind on a regular basis. (Sure, Naked People Are Funny, but let's be serious here.) Therefore, discovering a pile of uninhabited clothing is a definite clue that something... unnatural happened to its owner. The cause may be anything (disintegration, a Shrink Ray, Forced Transformation, Caught Up in the Rapture, an Out-of-Clothes Experience, overdosing on a Fountain of Youth, etc.) but for this trope to play, an onscreen character, the audience — or both — must be less than certain about the how. The Foreshadowing goes double if the clothing is ripped, torn, or otherwise provides forensic clues about what might have happened to them. This can be considered a combination of No Body Left Behind and the inversion of Magic Pants: For example, if a character was subjected to a transformation into some kind of monster (say, a werewolf), they may have had to rip and shred their own clothing off during the process (unless the process did this all by itself). If the owner's companions should stumble across this monster standing near an empty pile of their friend's shredded clothing, they might mistakenly assume that the monster killed the person (unaware that said monster is person). Compare Skeleton Crew or Smoldering Shoes, which are similar visual hints that something ominous has happened to a character. In the event that the owner was merely teleported somewhere else and is otherwise fine (sans clothing, that is), see Naked on Arrival. If the audience and characters onscreen see exactly what happens to cause a set of empty clothes, see Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing. If clothes are left behind because that's how an endangered person got away safely, that's Giving Them the Strip. If it's Played for Laughs and the character is otherwise fine, it's Right Out of My Clothes. As this can sometimes be a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

The Rising of the Shield Hero: Naofumi and Raphtalia both get worried when they wake up to find the clothing of Princess Melty but no Princess Melty. Then they remember that Filo, a giant bird, had expressed a desire to eat members of her own species and start wondering if that lack of scruples might extend to humans as well. Just as they start reproaching Filo over this the matter is settled when a sleepy Melty sticks her head out of Filo's feathers and wants to know what is going on. It turns out that she had found that sleeping in Filo's down was comfortable and warm but was definitely too warm for clothing. When Raphtalia experimentally sticks her arm in the down she finds it comfortable too and immediately falls asleep. Naofumi mutters something and goes back to bed as well. | |

The Decepticon invaders in Transformers: Dark of the Moon have this effect on the hapless citizens of Chicago, since weapons that are designed to kill 30-foot tall machines of living metal will of course have more drastic effects on small, fleshy humans, though it isn't explained why the humans bodies are vaporized but their clothes are left intact, since one would assume both would be obliterated, but it is played up for dramatic effect later, with several soldiers passing areas covered with abandoned clothing, to give a sense of scale to the massacre committed by the Decepticons. | |

Rule of Rose: Empty piles of clothes are shown in the background during the Stray Dog bossfight. It's not really explained, but the prevalent fan theory is that Jennifer is mentally censoring out the corpses that should be inhabiting them. It's a justification for the practical reason that showing dead children in a video game, a console game at any rate, is a big no-no. The game pretty masterfully avoids showing almost any of the horrible things that kids go through in the story, arguably making it feel a lot worse than if they just said and showed things straight up. | |

Dragon Ball: In Dragon Ball Z, one of the ways Cell can absorb people is by plunging his stinger tail into them, then sucking up their body as he would liquid through a straw, only leaving their clothes behind. A whole city full of empty clothes is a sure sign that Cell has been feeding (though his victims fortunately end up being revived later). Dragon Ball GT: In the final episode, Goku's uniform is left behind when he vanishes with Shenron for a hundred years. |

In the Rocko's Modern Life episode "The High Five of Doom", after learning the truth about Filburt and why he was doing the weird things they witnessed, Rocko and Heffer come to the conclusion that Filburt isn't an alien after all — that is until he slaps both of them a high five at once, thus vaporizing the two, leaving Rocko and Heffer's clothes falling to the ground as Filburt and his crew circle around the spot where Rocko's house used to be. In the end, it turns out that everything that happened in the entire episode was all a story that Rocko and Heffer read from Filburt's journal. | |

In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, this is all that's left of the real culprit after he gets dissolved into nothingness. Justified, since it is revealed he was actually a Toon wearing a human disguise, and the fluid that dissolved him, called "Dip", is known to only be effective at harming Toons, but is relatively harmless against anything in the human world. | |

Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy: This is one of the mysteries. In the village of Hoogland, young girls are regularly "wed", or rather sacrificed, to a wind deity so as to calm its wrath down and ease the winds and tornadoes that plague the village. The girls are said to transform into a breeze upon their sacrifice, as evidenced by their empty clothes being left in the sacrificial chapel. It's actually a hoax pulled off by the women of the village: by going through a secret passage, they are able to save the girls before they are actually sacrificed. They left behind their clothes to fool the men into thinking the deity accepted the sacrifice. | |

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: On Deathwater Island, the characters find some discarded armour, next to a pool containing a golden statue. When they discover that the pool turns things to gold, they realise that the statue was in fact a person who dived in, and that the armour belonged to that person, the clothes having rotted away long ago. | |

In The Indian in the Cupboard, trying to summon someone who's died since the last time they were summoned typically produces just their folded clothes. (Unusually, returning those piles of clothes produces the original plastic figure, rather than a plastic pile of clothes.) | |

The Great Merlini: In one short story, breaking into a locked room reveals no gun, one shot corpse, and one unconscious nude man — all his clothing, including underwear, is laying on the ground as if he'd phased through it. The deceased was a UFO believer, but it wasn't aliens, it's an alibi. It's pretty easy to prove that the now-revived nude man wasn't smuggling a gun out of the room. | |

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Consuls O and P set Ethel and Cammuravi (the former under the threat of the annihilation of the recently liberated Colony 4) against the Ouroboros, aboard specially made Ferronises. However, after Cammuravi gouged out his own Iris to prevent the Consuls from controlling him, he and Ethel decided to forego their orders and engage in one last joyous duel against each other. Their life force was drained as they both struck the other with a killing blow, and their bodies faded into motes of light, leaving their clothes behind in the Ferronis cockpits. | |

The next thing she sees is a chair with another set of clothes "sitting" on it, with sleeves on the arm pads. It's a case of perve-portation, but she doesn't know this at the time. Amber's remuneration for her power is getting younger. After she sacrifices herself to help Hei, she ends up disappearing altogether, with her empty clothes being all that's left of her. |

Ultimate X Men: In issue #41, a young man known only as "J"'s mutant power manifests one morning, which is to involuntarily vaporize all organic matter within a certain radius of himself after a short time of it being exposed to him. He wakes up on a normal day to find the house deserted and his mother’s clothes lying on the floor and all the organic food in the kitchen vanished. He heads off to school, passing an empty dog collar on the ground, then spots some people nearby, but doesn’t notice them disintegrating as he turns away. When he arrives at school students start disintegrating around him shortly after he arrives, leaving their clothing behind, including his girlfriend who identifies him as the source of the phenomenon as she burns away. The story cuts to Wolverine (who's immune to J's power thanks to his Healing Factor) entering a cave where J is hiding, having been sent by Professor X who explains what's happened, that at least 265 people were killed by his power. After explaining that the situation will be covered up by a story saying a corrosive chemical leak will be blamed, Wolverine has to tell J that the story can never get out, as if it becomes public a mutant was responsible it would lead to a worldwide pogrom against mutants. J, already distraught that his power is to be an uncontrolled Walking Wasteland, understands the implication and tells Wolverine to "just do it". | |

The Clone has an interesting variation. The titular Blob Monster is an Extreme Omnivore that absorbs both living and nonliving matter, but there are certain types of fabrics it won't eat. Nylon, for example, will get incorporated into the "clone" mass, but cotton will be rejected. Regardless, there's always some kind of empty clothes left after it gets done with someone. | |

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind: In the Tribunal expansion, you visit a Dwemer ruin beneath the city of Mournhold which has been untouched since the day the entire Dwemer race simultaneously disappeared from the face of Nirn. Included are piles of ash next to empty suits of Dwemer armor and weapons dropped onto the floor. | |

Deep Rock Galactic lets you encounter the emptied-out armor and clothing of your former colleagues every now and then, still surrounded by the scattered minerals they once carried. While there's no indication of what happened, knowing Hoxxes IV, they were probably eaten by wildlife. | |

Leverage: Eliot invokes this to freak out the mark in "The First Contact Job" by leaving behind only the shoes of three of the man's security team whom he'd knocked out and tied up elsewhere, thus making the mark believe the men had been abducted by aliens. | |

In "The Incredible Shrinking Sponge", SpongeBob winds up shrinking out of his clothes after an urchin sets the grill's heat to maximum. |

Chernobyl shows the genesis of one of the creepiest artifacts of the disaster: the pile of discarded firemen's uniforms in the hospital basement. Dr. Zinchenko orders that the firemen be stripped of their gear and has it dumped in the basement because she immediately recognizes that they're still carrying a huge dose of radioactivity. The camera lingers on the pile of jackets, boots, and gloves, transformed from protective gear to a deadly danger. That heap of gear is still there to this day and remains extremely dangerous, remitting 600 roentgens per hour, more than enough to kill a human after several hours' exposure. | |

Doctor Who: In "Utopia", a crewman is vaporized by stet radiation, leaving only his clothes behind. In "Partners in Crime", little creatures called Adipose are born from the fat of those who have been taking the enzyme used to create them. In a pinch, however, the Adipose can convert all types of cell tissue, resulting in this trope. In "Amy's Choice", the first sign that something is wrong in the Leadworth reality are these, coupled with piles of dust. |

The tripod's weapon in War of the Worlds (2005) disintegrates any humans it hits, leaving only their clothing behind.

All that's left of her in the real world is a pile of clothes and said phone, with the other students freaking out when they come across the scene. A frequent problem with Jenna, as she's a mass of sentient insects that will disperse if she requires them to or is otherwise spooked. This then leaves a pile of empty human clothes in her wake for others to come across and ponder over. |
