Sometimes a Superhero (or villain) will be doing completely mundane things like fishing or shopping or just hanging around the house, but he'll still be in full costume. In some works, particularly in comedies, this is a form of Limited Wardrobe: the hero has no other identity, and thus no other clothes. Fans who put a lot of thought into it, though, will wonder why the hero doesn't at least change into civvies when he's trying to blend in with the other guys in the food court. If the hero actually has a civilian identity, then there is of course no excuse. This can also apply to certain kinds of uniforms, provided that they don't too-closely resemble civilian clothing to the point where it's not at all impractical to leave them on. If it's a school uniform, that's its own trope. Very common in animated series, as new animation models are expensive. Compare Limited Wardrobe and 24-Hour Armor. Examples |

Angel. Played for Laughs in "The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco", about a vigilante team of Masked Luchadors. A flashback scene shows them in their glory days chilling out, lifting weights, or romancing women with their masks on. | |

Star Trek: Enterprise went to greater lengths than previous shows partially in that they had official casual wear for exercise and underwear. It was partially in an effort to play up Hotter and Sexier by allowing their characters to walk around in their underwear (plus the infamous decon chamber scenes). This in turn resulted in a Sigil Spam where they also had ballcaps with the ship registry NX-01 as well as bomber jackets with crew patches. | |

Supergirl: Post-Crisis Supergirl had no secret identity for over one year since her arrival in Earth in "The Supergirl from Krypton (2004)". She spent all of her time wearing her costume and performing heroics, to the point her cousin grew concerned and talked her into creating her own secret identity in order to avoid a burnout. In Supergirl Special, Kara wears her hero suit the whole time, does not bothering to change clothes when she leaves or returns to her apartment. Power Trip (2005): Kara has not bothered with a secret identity for months, so she walks into her apartment wearing her hero outfit and sits down on her couch without changing clothes. |

Freakazoid!. Early on in the show he went back and forth between his civilian and superhero identities, but as time went on, he spent more time as Freakazoid and less as Dexter Douglas. | |

In Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Batman (as well as most of the other heroes) is in costume almost all the time, but it's justified because he's on the job all the time and the show simply doesn't deal with his secret identity. However, when he underwent a Literal Split Personality, even "Slacker Batman" elected to keep the Batman persona, and lounged around the Batcave in full costume eating nachos. | |

In the first issues of the New 52 Aquaman series, the title character is quickly established to not really have much of a secret identity, to the point of going to a seafood restaurant with his girlfriend in full costume, to the extreme embarrassment of the restaurant workers. | |

Star Trek Crew members typically wear their uniforms when off duty, on leave, even asleep on some occasions; this sometimes makes it jarring when they do dress to lounge (like Uhura in "The Tholian Web"). This was at least partly from budgetary concerns—TOS was famously strapped for cash, and even on Star Trek: Voyager they sometimes only had the money for one futuristic set of pajamas. However, the next gen shows did avert it when appropriate, as often as they could. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had plenty of scenes in civvies as not all main characters were Starfleet officers. Star Trek: Voyager. Captain Janeway does this a lot (there are exceptions) to show her workaholic nature. Budget was still a factor - a scene involving B'Elanna Torres and Captain Janeway having a discussion in their pajamas had to be dropped because they could only afford to create one 'futuristic' set of pajamas. Usually they downplay this trope by having her wear her undershirt. And there are never any people in civilian clothes strolling in the corridors (unless they're coming directly from the holodeck) like you'd sometimes see in TNG and the Original Series. Ronald D. Moore complained about the latter, as he felt it worked against the premise of Voyager being stranded in the Delta Quadrant, as opposed to being just a place of work. Star Trek: Enterprise went to greater lengths than previous shows partially in that they had official casual wear for exercise and underwear.

In the Teen Titans animated series, the creators didn't want the characters to have secret identities or alter egos, so the heroes were in full costume all the time. Robin was also never seen without a mask or dark sunglasses to cover his eyes, even when he was in disguise. Hell, they're even shown sleeping in full costume. In one episode in particular, while Robin is away trying to be trained by the "True Master" of martial arts, the rest of the Titans raid his closet for outfits. It's nothing but his costume. | |

Booster Gold at one point had to deal with living with his ancestor, Daniel Carter, who took to lounging around all day in the Supernova costume. His lifestyle of nothing but junk food and video games on the couch would ruin his athletic physique if the suit wasn't an advanced time machine that time looped his body (which makes the aforementioned junk food eating redundant). | |
