In many video games, clothing and armor can be worn by anyone, regardless of its source or the wearer's size or gender. These are usually Acceptable Breaks from Reality, as it's a pain to have exclusive sets of equipment for each character, but sometimes it just gets ridiculous.
Compare Informed Equipment, as well as Costumes Change Your Size. A default ability of the Adaptive Armor. Contrast Gender-Restricted Gear. Related to Magic Pants. See Universal Eyeglasses for when one lens prescription fits all.

Divinity: Original Sin II: Equipment is equally wearable by any playable character, be they male or female; human, elf Lizard, or dwarf; or skeletal undead. Many pieces display differently based on who's wearing them, so a human's simple wide-brimmed hat could become an ornate headdress on a lizard.

The sequel game Guild Wars 2 implements a more traditional loot system playing this trope straight. Even more egregiously, sometimes weapons resize when drawn. For example, a full-sized sword is too large to fit on an asura's back, so it shrinks when sheathed and grows when drawn.

Similarly in Might and Magic VI and on, where the same suit of leather, plate or chain is equally form-fitting and functional as it is passed from dwarf to elf to goblin to human to half-orc and from male to female and right back again. It does have limits, though — in VIII, helmets and boots can't be used by minotaurs (who have hooves and horns), and dragons can only use rings and amulets.

In The World Ends with You, clothing plays a major part in the gameplay. As long as you have a high enough Bravery level, any character can wear any outfit. This includes the guys wearing gothic lolita dresses. However, they're Invisible to Normals, and you don't actually see the outfits.

In the Disgaea series, the only equipment restriction is that monsters have to wield monster weapons, and humanoids have to stick to the six other weapon types. Otherwise, any unit can wear any piece of armor (Even the dresses and bikinis) or weapon regardless of gender or species, and can even wear three pieces of the same armor type, like three pairs of shoes, or three pairs of glasses. The weapons used by humanoids are the only visible piece of equipment.

In the handheld and NES Fire Emblem games any equipped weapons will magically adjust to the style that the character wielding them likes. A Hero using an Iron Sword will wield a massive broadsword. Pass that same sword to a Myrmidon and it's a katana. Finally give it to an assassin and it's a pair of daggers.
Some of the SNES entries, and Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn, have weapon appearance based on the weapon instead of the person holding it, however.

Arrow
Despite being noticeably shorter than Oliver Queen, in "Public Enemy" Roy Harper has no problem dressing up as the Arrow and surrendering to the police to clear Oliver from suspicion.
Averted in "Left Behind" where John Diggle poses as the Arrow and Laurel Lance as the Canary. Diggle complains that his costume is too tight and later switches to plainclothes, while Laurel just wears a different costume with the same wig and Domino Mask.

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, all the weapons enemies use are scaled to their size. Even if a weapon is small or huge, they'll magically change to a size suitable for Link once dropped. Averted with the Thunder Helm, which was originally designed for the adult Gerudo woman Urbosa to wear and which slides around on the much younger Riju's head when the latter puts it on. The lack of this is also a plot point with the Zora Armor: Muzu refuses to believe that Mipha was in love with Link until Sidon points out that the chest portion of the armor she crafted, traditionally given by Zora women to their intended husbands, fits Link's Hylian physique perfectly.

The MMORPG Guild Wars is a notable exception, as all armor of any type (including gloves and shoes) must be custom-built by a merchant NPC and is only usable by the character that bought it, although it can be salvaged for crafting components or upgrades (always less than what went in). Weapons are sharable unless you want them customized, in which case they get a slight damage increase but can never be sold again either.
Further, you can recover mobs' armor as loot - but it's only usable for sale of to be broken into components.
The sequel game Guild Wars 2 implements a more traditional loot system playing this trope straight. Even more egregiously, sometimes weapons resize when drawn. For example, a full-sized sword is too large to fit on an asura's back, so it shrinks when sheathed and grows when drawn.
One personal story option for GW2 norn characters involves said norn wearing a dredge mining suit in order to infiltrate a dredge mine. Norn are 9 feet tall, and going off the cutscene art dredge are maybe half that. The suit fits perfectly.

In NetHack:
Armor can be too small (when you're polymorphed into a creature too large to wear it), or the wrong shape, but never too large. Any creature that's vaguely human-shaped and no larger than human-size can wear any armor: gnomes can wear plate mail (though it may burden them because it's uncomfortably heavy)
Rings and amulets can be worn not just by humanoids, but by jellies, snakes, and intelligent clouds of vapor, but only if a humanoid ring-wearer is polymorphed into sucha creature. It's mainly a balance mechanic: the ring changes with you to prevent easily getting rid of cursed jewelry by shapeshifting into a form that can't wear it.

This trope is fully in evidence in the Champions of Norrath series. In Return To Arms, for example, a piece of clothing will change from a form-fitting, cleavage revealing blouse on a female human mage to a pair of shoulder pads that appears to be made of leather and bone on a male lizard man.

Both Oblivion and Skyrim:
Particularly jarring is that if you play as a female character and loot clothing or armor from a male character (or vice versa), the item actually magically changes appearance when worn - trousers become skirts and shirts become blouses. An extreme example is the "Huntsman's Vest", which, on male characters, is a simple fur vest. On female characters, it becomes a fur bra. Perhaps the most ridiculous example is that the historical artifact armors of men (Ex. Tiber Septim, Pelinal Whitestrake, etc.) adjust for women.
Ironically, the one armor set that should be custom tailored to your character in Oblivion, the Imperial Dragon Armor, is bugged so that it appears the same regardless of your gender.
Unlike Morrowind, this even includes helmets. All the beast race's horns, muzzles, spikes and foot long ears seem to just fold right up. Excusable as an Acceptable Break from Reality since beast races being unable to wear helmets in Morrowind was a major fan complaint.

Final Fantasy XIV plays it straight 98% of the time:
Since gear doesn't bind on equip, but only when you actually do something with it, as long as they just equip the item, a max-size Roegadyn and a min-size Lalafell can pass the same plate armor back and forth all they like, and it'll fit them both perfectly. The "try on" command that lets you preview gear has similar results.
Most hats will change shape when equipped by Miqo'te, to accommodate their ears. Oddly, pants tend not to gain proper tail holes, but the tail will just clip straight through the model.
Averted in one story quest that has you Dressing as the Enemy — Yugiri has three Garlean soldiers that she Mugged for Disguise, and you have to pick the one that broadly matches your size. Not that this is hard — you're either tiny (Lalafell), giant (Roegadyn, male Au Ra, Hrothgar), or medium-sized (anything else) — but there's hilarious Flavor Text for trying to take the wrong ones.
Weapons also change size based on the size of the player, which averts the Giant's Knife; Human's Greatsword problem. One scene plays it straight where Rauhban gives his adopted son, Pipin, his sword and the lalafell has to hold the sword with both hands to wield it properly.

World of Warcraft provides extreme examples:
It's possible for a Tauren (an 8-foot-tall bipedal quasi-bovine) to wear gear looted from a leper gnome.
When worn by a female, gear instantly becomes not just smaller, but also more revealing/form fitting.
When worn by draenei or tauren, pants and robes magically sport tailholes.
Shoes lose the shoe part, and become something like legwarmers. Note that you can later give the shoes to someone without hooves and have the shoe part reappear.
The Cataclysm expansion brought Worgen to the table. In human form, shoes are just normal shoes, but in worgen form, they become leg warmers. Your shoes will magically switch between shoes and leg-warmers depending on what form you're in.
Also, any robes, pants or shoes that a Forsaken puts on will immediately have large holes ripped in the elbows, knees, and toes, all the better to show off their decaying skin and exposed bone.

Largely averted in Puzzle Pirates. All females are exactly the same size, so one size truly does fit all females. Ditto with males. However, cross-dressing is never allowed, leading to oddities such as bandannas that can never be worn by males.

Mario & Luigi
The items you buy will always fit both Mario and Luigi, despite their size and body structure differences. Amusingly, the official artwork of the first three games featured Luigi wearing overalls that were a bit too short for him, exposing a pair of striped socks, so perhaps one size didn't actually fit all?
Averted in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, where the baby bros, Bowser and Paper Mario have different types of clothing.

Averted slightly in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. In order to do some insanity, Tommy and his sidekick Lance ambush two cops in a garage. They tie them up and steal their uniforms. Lance says that his fits just fine, but Tommy declares that his are 'a bit tight in the crotch'. Lance then hastily claims the same. Oh, Lance.

In Overlord, all enchanted equipment has this property. Enchanted weapons will resize themselves so they can be wielded properly by anyone. Enchanted armor will also resize itself to fit comfortably on someone no matter what. Some examples below:
When the goblin Jugem slew the zombified troll Guu, he took the troll's greatsword for his own use. Since the greatsword was a magical weapon, it shrunk down to a more manageable size.
When Ainz kills the Beastman bafolk warlord Buser in volume 12, he gives Buser's magical armor to his temporary squire Neia. The armor which was previously worn by a demi-human far larger than most humans shrank down to fit comfortably on a slim young woman.
The Guardian Armor, one of the Re-Estize Kingdom's National Treasures, was first seen worn by Warrior Captain Gazef Stronoff. Much later it is worn by Prince Zanac as he prepares to fight the Sorcerer Kingdom in a futile last stand. Zanac even notes that the armor being magical is the only way it could still fit him, especially since he's actually gained weight due to stress-eating.

Downplayed with Metal Slug Infinity. Every unit is able to ride any Slug (i.e. combat vehicles or attack animals) regardless of size difference or vehicle knowledge (especially with most nonmilitary units). Slugs with a visible cockpit has the larger unit shrink in size and/or be very cramped inside of it.

Fallout: New Vegas provides perhaps the most absurd example in the Dead Money DLC. At one point you encounter the skeletal corpse of a female singer about whom you've heard much, and the skeleton has her dress still on it. You can take the dress, shown as a dress right in front of your eyes and well established as having been worn by a female, and it will instantly morph into a tuxedo if you're playing as a male.

It's funny to give Bianca back the same clothes & armor that she wore as an 8 year old when you next meet her again as an adult or to swap armor with your own son.
Also used in-story for Zenithian helmet, which resizes itself to fit the Chosen One.

Downplayed in Ever After: Danielle repeatedly steals Marguerite's dresses to disguise herself as a courtier, and while the improbable fact that her stepsister's clothes fit her perfectly is never mentioned, Danielle does comment that "the shoes are too big," and she ends up wearing her ordinary servants' shoes to court.

Batman Beyond: The high-tech Batsuit Bruce Wayne built to compensate for his declining physical prowess is used by Terry McGinnnis twenty years later, despite Terry's distinctly slimmer build. Given it's high-tech nature, self-refitting is a plausible function.

Enforced in A Brother's Price: When Jerin and his sisters have nothing suitable to wear at the royal court, a team of tailors solve the problem by altering clothes that other people commissioned, but then refused to pay for. It's easier than making new clothes from scratch.

The tabletop Dungeons & Dragons both uses and avoids this. Armor and clothing are treated realistically, as individual pieces can't be worn by someone the wrong size and/or shape (a halfling can't wear chain mail designed for an orc). However, many magical items (aside from weapons) are explicitly stated as resizing themselves based on the user, so a giant can wear a normally human-sized magical ring, and a tiefling with goat hooves could wear a pair of magical boots.
Characters can typically use a weapon that is one size off of theirs with a penalty. For example, in 3.5 at least, one could use a "large" short sword, long sword, rapier, etc. with a -2 attack roll penalty.
Plate mail also only fits the character it was made for and has to be "fitted" to be worn by someone else. This is actually unrealistic; with adjustable straps it's possible to make a plate armour that will accommodate a fairly wide variety of people, as long as they aren't very far off from the average size in height or weight. It won't fit as perfectly as armour made by your measures, but grand majority of the Medieval soldiers and knights had no trouble using such equipment. Every LARPer or reenactment participant that has worn plate mail can attest to this, as the armors worn are just a little lighter than the real thing, and usually one tries a friend armor before buying ones own.
This also varies heavily by edition, with some saying to not worry about it, some requiring a massive fee almost the cost of creating a new set, and some allowing anything to change size as long as it's magic.
This can get beyond ridiculous at times, when the rules suggest specific magical items created for colossal dragons (like tail-guards and horn-covers) which will change shape entirely to fit the analogous part of a humanoid.
However, many video games based on D&D dispense with these rules,meaning you can freely swap that plate mail suit between a seven foot tall half-orc and a three foot halfling.
This makes sense though, since the designers want you allow players to roll up characters of different race/gender combos, it would take a lot more programming to whip up random items with a decent chance of actually being used rather than sold.
Earlier editions—up to 2d edition AD&D—were heavy aversions. One supplement had a chart for a percentage chance of swapping armour between species, and an additional modifier when gender comes into play. And reminded the DM that Rule Zero still applied, so they should definitely remind the 6' barbarian heroic human built like a square of muscle that he's not going to have any chance at all putting on the magic chainmail from the dead female elf.
5th edition plays this trope straight by default ("within the bounds of common sense"), but has an optional variant rule requiring armor to be custom-fit to the character before it can be used.

The game of Dwarf Fortress abstracts this issue into size categories, so that clothing and armor is only usable by races of the same size category as the one that produced the item. Previously, there were also 'stout' and 'narrow' categories, which kept goblins, dwarves, and elves from wearing the same armor even though they were the same size.

In Fallout 3, you can blast your enemies limbs and head off and still take the armor, which magically becomes whole again. Vault-issued sewing kit, perhaps?
Some clothes have different appearances depending on the wearer's gender. If your character is male and you remove "pre-war casual wear" from the inventory of a woman wearing a dress, when you put it on yourself it will be pants and a shirt.
Earlier Fallout titles generally did not allow players to loot armour from corpses, but armour and clothing will fit any character just fine. The massive Sulik and the tiny Myron can both wear the same Leather Jacket with no problems.
Fallout: New Vegas provides perhaps the most absurd example in the Dead Money DLC. At one point you encounter the skeletal corpse of a female singer about whom you've heard much, and the skeleton has her dress still on it. You can take the dress, shown as a dress right in front of your eyes and well established as having been worn by a female, and it will instantly morph into a tuxedo if you're playing as a male.

In Quantum Leap, it's established (usually) that Sam Beckett is leaping around in time in his own body, and he merely takes on the appearance or "physical aura" of the person he's leaped into. Despite this, his hosts' clothes always fit him perfectly, even when he leaps into people much smaller than he is. In one of the comics, Al mentions that the project programmer, Gooshie, has considered the problem and theorized that the leap causes a disturbance in the molecular structure of the clothes, making them unstable. Sam considers this theory for a moment and concludes, "Gooshie reads too many comic books."

The Seinfeld episode "The Raincoats" has a button-up shirt originally owned by the short and stocky Frank fit the tall, slender Kramer perfectly. Season 9's "The Bookstore" averts it, in the cold open where Kramer (among many other things) puts on one of Jerry's (similar in build, but a good 3-4 inches shorter) suits and pretends to do a stand-up set. The suit is noticeably too small for him.

Averted in Mass Effect. All species use different types of armour, save for the asari, who are close enough to human (female) shape that they can wear human armour without hitch. On the other hand, all species use same type of weapons, even though it's a bit hard to see how the massive krogan even fit their fingers on human-sized triggers.
And still played straight, as human armour fits all sizes of humans and asari and has a form-fitting breast plate only when worn by a woman.

In a possible model for this trope, the titular Rings of Power from The Lord of the Rings are capable of altering their size fit their present owner (and to treacherously slip off their finger).
In the movie, when Isildur picks up the ring after destroying Sauron, it actually shrinks in his hand.

Transformers: Prime: The Apex Armor is a suit of ancient Power Armor crafted by Solus Prime that is usually just a small chest piece. When placed on a cybertonian body it extends armor that adjusts to the wearers size and body shape. In season 3, we find out that it is even compatible with humans, though it doesn't shrink below a certain size.

BattleTech plays this trope ridiculously straight when it comes to Battle Armor. The Elemental Battle Armor worn by the Clans' genetically engineered, eight foot tall, musclebound infantry troopers was in canon able to be operated by Kai Allard-Liao, who was barely taller than five feet and slender of build, thanks to the use of "platforms" in the boots and "extensions" in the arms. Later forms of Battle Armor would have write ups that mention they were constructed specifically to allow wearers of a variety of sizes to fit in them.

Played completely straight in Nexus Clash, in which all clothes fit you no matter what body you happen to be possessing at the moment. Since players usually respawn in a random body, this can lead to a situation where (for instance) someone dies in the body of a male bodybuilder and respawns in the body of a little girl — who comes back wearing the previous body's clothes, which still fit perfectly. Justified by the same random respawns — it wouldn't be fun to have to carry around a set of clothes for every possible body you could respawn in.

The Elder Scrolls:
Morrowind:
Played straight for the non-beast races. You can loot a piece of armor off an Orc or Nord, then equip it to your much-smaller Bosmer and it will fit perfectly. After installing Tribunal or the "LeFemme" armor official plug-in, cuirasses will become Gendered Outfits. You can loot one off of a male NPC and equip it to your female character, and it will change to the female model.
Beast races avert it for closed helmets and boots. Because of their elongated faces and unusual feet, Argonians and Khajiit cannot wear them.
Both Oblivion and Skyrim:
Particularly jarring is that if you play as a female character and loot clothing or armor from a male character (or vice versa), the item actually magically changes appearance when worn - trousers become skirts and shirts become blouses. An extreme example is the "Huntsman's Vest", which, on male characters, is a simple fur vest. On female characters, it becomes a fur bra. Perhaps the most ridiculous example is that the historical artifact armors of men (Ex. Tiber Septim, Pelinal Whitestrake, etc.) adjust for women.
Ironically, the one armor set that should be custom tailored to your character in Oblivion, the Imperial Dragon Armor, is bugged so that it appears the same regardless of your gender.
Unlike Morrowind, this even includes helmets. All the beast race's horns, muzzles, spikes and foot long ears seem to just fold right up. Excusable as an Acceptable Break from Reality since beast races being unable to wear helmets in Morrowind was a major fan complaint.

Averted in EverQuest. Most armor came in three sizes- small (e.g. halflings, dwarves, gnomes), medium (e.g. humans, elves) and large (e.g. ogres, trolls) sizes, and players aren't allowed to use any size that doesn't fit them. Played straight with some unique equipment, which usually doesn't have sizes, as well as with weapons; there's nothing stopping a dwarf warrior from picking up and using a sword looted off a giant.

Averted in Planescape: Torment - everyone who winds up in your party has their own armour or clothing, and refuses to take it off. You can buy armour for the party Action Girl, but you can't wear that (or the clothing it replaces).
This goes even further - one character cannot wear earrings due to the shape of his ears. Another, being a skull, is unable to equip anything except a set of teeth. This does not explain his large inventory.
The game lampshades Morte's large inventory space despite being a skull by telling you that you shouldn't bother thinking about it.

Many Final Fantasy games will have armor or clothes that can be passed around relatively universally, even if the sizes of your teammembers range from "7-foot-tall muscle-bound dude" to "8-year-old girl."
Especially odd in Final Fantasy IX, when many people on your team aren't even the same species, with all the differences in physical build that would imply. However, they at least make an attempt to address this trope with some male/female specific equipment.
Partly averted in VI, which has armor only females can wear. However, considering they mean Terra, Celes, or Relm...

Played straight in Magic: The Gathering, where those Swiftfoot Boots can be equipped to any creature card, ranging from humans to elves to snakes to fish to spiders to dragons... Justified in the meta sense since printing rules on each card about what creature types can and can't use a piece of equipment would overwhelm a single card.

Batwoman (2019). Much is made of the Batsuit being a multi-million one-of-a-kind high technology superhero outfit, yet in the pilot episode Kate Kane has no problem modifying it on short notice to fit her feminine frame despite it being constructed for a presumably larger man. In Season 2, Ryan Wilder finds the suit and dons it without Luke Fox being available to alter it.

Compared to other examples, it seems odd that this trope was averted in Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure. There is a second playable character named Popon, who is, just like Parin, a little girl. However, attempting to put on any of Parin's headgear will result in the message "It doesn't fit" greeting the player.

Morrowind:
Played straight for the non-beast races. You can loot a piece of armor off an Orc or Nord, then equip it to your much-smaller Bosmer and it will fit perfectly. After installing Tribunal or the "LeFemme" armor official plug-in, cuirasses will become Gendered Outfits. You can loot one off of a male NPC and equip it to your female character, and it will change to the female model.
Beast races avert it for closed helmets and boots. Because of their elongated faces and unusual feet, Argonians and Khajiit cannot wear them.

Averted in Shadowrun when armour for dwarves is actually more expensive than armour for humans, because 90% of the population are human so dwarves often need to order specially and end up paying as much as trolls. The same is true of vehicles, guns, you name it. (Well, guns are less of an issue for dwarves, but trolls still need them customised)

Played mostly straight in Drakensang, who comines this trope with Form-Fitting Wardrobe too. Is sometimes averted by certain clothes and armor pieces who can only be worn by dwarves or can't be worn by dwarves at all. Plus, the Amazonian Armor set and dresses can only be worn by female characters.

The Adventures of Puss in Boots features magical artifacts that vary on if one size fits all is included in their set of powers. While a magic gauntlet doesn't causing Puss to get stuck inside it, a pair of magic boots does, and even lets him wear the boots on top of the boots he already wears. A magic crown designed for The Chosen One will only shrink to fit said chosen one.

Goblins generally averts this trope; size modifiers have been discussed in relation to large weapons, and the goblins sometimes reject human-sized gear if it's unusable to them. The Axe of Prissan and the suit of armor associated with it notably play this trope straight, justified by the fact that they're magical and designed to reshape themselves to suit the needs of whoever uses them.

Dungeon Crawl averts this completely. Characters of large or small sizes either have lowered AC gains from armour, or can't use some (or all) armour slots at all. The same goes for weapons - only Ogres and Trolls can use giant (spiked) clubs, and small races like Kobolds and Spriggans can only use normally-one-handed weapons as two-handed, no matter the character's Strength.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom continues the trend as well as adding some new ones thanks to the fusion system. Whatever items Link fuses to his weapon will generally scale up or down to fit on the attached weapon. For example, a huge iron spiky ball will shrink down when fused to a weapon for Link, but it'll scale up instead if used by a larger enemy like Moblins.
