For many people, fashion is a big part of their lives. Sometimes it's a love for the aesthetics of clothing that attracts them, other times it's a desire for a status symbol to advertise one's wealth and influence to others. Or maybe they just hold some piece of clothing in a higher sentimental light than expected. Whatever the reason for their obsession is, those who love fashion are bound to spend a great deal of time working on their wardrobe. Thus, it's not surprising that people often get frustrated and upset when their clothes get stained, wet, or otherwise damaged while they're in public. All that work just to get humiliated! When this situation plays out in fiction, however, characters tend to react as if they'd been violently wounded, going way past mere frustration and embarrassment. They'll scream, cry, throw fits, sometimes even mourn the "death" of the garment. In more lighthearted uses of this trope, this reaction will be entirely Played for Laughs, the writers will expect the audience to find the idea of freaking out over clothes silly. Other times, the audience will be expected to agree with the character that getting one's clothes messy in front of people is horrible and the ultimate form of humiliation, in which case this trope will either be Played for Drama or for Cringe Comedy. Essentially, this trope is when Minor Injury Overreaction is applied to clothes. If the universe itself uses this trope, it might get treated as a "What the Hell, Hero?" moment. Understandable if the clothing is actually quite expensive. Because such characters are defined by their love of fashion, The Fashionista is a likely victim of this trope. Non-Fashionista characters can react this way as well, however. After all, just because a character isn't defined by their love of fashion doesn't mean they don't care about it at all. Female characters tend to get wardrobe wounds a lot and female-targeted works frequently use this trope because of the stereotype that Vanity Is Feminine. Because the stereotype often goes double for them, teenage/tweenage girls and works targeted at them tend to provide examples of this trope. There are two forms of Wardrobe Wounds: Intentional In this version, the character's outfit is ruined intentionally by another character as a form of non-violent "attack". Somebody wants to embarrass, humiliate, or show their contempt for someone else and they attempt to accomplish this via ruining the other person's clothes. This variant is usually done either by the Alpha Bitch to her victims or by the victims as a form of retaliation against the alpha bitch. Intentional Wardrobe Wounds often, though not always, double as examples of Contrived Clumsiness. Accidental In this version, the character's outfit is ruined accidentally: the poor character is just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It may come up as a result of Giving Them the Strip if the surviving escapee complains about the garment's loss. Either way, they will be devastated. A common way for the character to visually convey their "trauma" is to spread their arms out slightly to the side, open their mouth in shock, and slowly tilt their head downward as they "survey the damage". Both forms are prime sources of Laser-Guided Karma and Humiliation Conga for antagonists and villains. Also see My Favorite Shirt, a super-trope, and Hat Damage, a specific sub-trope. Compare Nobody Touches the Hair, when it's the hairdo damage that gets this reaction. The sister trope, Doomed New Clothes, may lead to a reaction about the loss of said new clothes, a.k.a this trope. |

In Lonely Werewolf Girl this is the sum totality of the plan of one of the book's Big Bad's, to destroy Fire Queen Malveria's reputation by destroying her wardrobe. Since The Fashionista is her race's Hat and Serious Business this would be the Fire Demon equivalent of a nuclear strike. Malveria does suffer through a variety of non-intentional wardrobe wounds in the series too. | |

It turns out Icicle and Sweetie Pie had both wanted it because it matched their interests - it was pink (Sweetie Pie's favorite color), and decorated with tiny popsicles (one of Icicle's favorite foods). | |

Windle complains to the retreating thieves that it was his best robe they just damaged, and that it's very hard to darn silk. In Carpe Jugulum, Vlad (a vampire) screams in agony when doused by holy water, then winks and complains that his attacker just ruined a lovely silk waistcoat. Both Reg shoe (a zombie) and Detritus (a troll) complain about holes put in their armor by weapons that would have killed somebody who wasn't either already dead or basically made of stone. Detritus is annoyed he is going to have to pay for a new breastplate out of his own money. In The Truth, vampire Otto Chriek is run through with a sword. His primary concern is that his fancy opera shirt is ruined yet again. |

Lizzie Mcguire provides a few examples of this trope's use as a way to get back at the Alpha Bitch. Despite normally being an Annoying Younger Sibling, Lizzie's brother Matt sometimes defends his sister by playing wardrobe-ruining pranks on her tormentor, Kate. One of these pranks occurs during the "Freaky Friday" Flip episode. While occupying Lizzie's body, Matt puts frogs in Kate's locker, scaring her and causing her to slip on a banana peel while running away. The banana peel causes her to slide into a door atop of which is balanced a bucket of chili that spills all over her outfit. In another episode, Matt tricks Kate into opening a spring-loaded can of rubber snakes. Kate gets startled, causing her to lose her balance and fall backward into a pond. |

Cradle Series: Variant; Eithan does this on Lindon's behalf. Eithan gives Lindon new robes to replace ones that are covered in blood, scum, and worse. When Lindon faces a man four advancements above him (when fighting someone one above you is generally considered a death sentence), Eithan warns him not to ruin the robes, as they're expensive. When Lindon manages to win, Eithan sighs and gives him new robes to replace the ones he just ruined. | |

In Wilderness Years, a beetroot stain appears on Adrian's new white shirt when Bert Baxter flings a beetroot sandwich across the room. In Cappuccino Years, Adrian decides not to tell someone who splashes urine onto his suede Gucci loafers, because it would spoil the evening for him. |

Barney Miller: Happens in the episode "Vandalism". In the midst of all the considerable damage to the squad room (upturned trash cans, spray paint, files thrown across the floor), The Dandy Harris is most outraged that the vandal cut up his alpaca sweater. In another episode, Harris chases a suspect into the sewer and trips, falling into the waste. As often as it happened to him, you'd think he'd figure out not to dress to the nines while on the job. |

In Pay Back, gangster Fairfax complains and acts visibly annoyed when Porter shoots through one of his expensive alligator hide suitcases containing his precious suits which, as he claims, cost more than the 70,000 dollars Porter is after. | |

The ice cream incident between Mia and Lana also happens in the novel version of The Princess Diaries (first in the series), although the circumstances are slightly different. | |

A less serious example happens in K-On!'s college arc when Ayame is using Mio as a dress-up doll. She finds out while getting Mio to on try her t-shirt, being a far curvier girl, that Mio stretched it out completely (particularly around the chest area). Mio apologizes about this immediately. Overlaps with A-Cup Angst. | |

In the Hey Arnold! episode "Ms. Perfect", the girls in Arnold's class come to resent their new classmate Lila because she (unintentionally) upstages them at the things each of them is known for. For revenge, they pull a prank that results in Lila getting covered in spinach in front of a cafeteria's worth of students. She then runs out of the cafeteria in tears because the other kids laugh at her. | |

During the raid on Mathilda's home in The Professional, Mathilda's father manages to shoot Norman Stansfield in the shoulder. Stansfield is pretty subdued about this until he has the time to notice the damage done to his suit, whereupon he follows the injured suspect through the apartment, shooting him in the back. He does this until he's out of ammunition... and then starts to reload so he can continue shooting the guy's corpse. | |

James and the Giant Peach: The centipede takes great pride in his forty-two boots, and is most upset when they are "ruined" by his own falling into the ocean, and when a gallon of thick purple paint is tipped over him by an angry cloudman. | |
