When a character uses physical Props to disguise themselves. This is a staple of Spy Drama, where the hero will often use a wig and dress and affect an accent, thus the name of the trope. For impersonating a man, a fake mustache and beard may be used for extra facial concealment, and the dress is (usually) counterproductive. While never as impenetrable a disguise as Latex Perfection, this disguise is usually plausible and may even fool the audience as well as other characters. If it isn't plausible, then it's a Paper-Thin Disguise. Sometimes two young children will do this to pretend to be a tall adult in a trench coat. See also Clark Kenting for how a disguise can be complemented by mannerisms and behaviors. |

Super Mario World: In the comic, Luigi swaps clothes with Princess Peach (or Toadstool) and dons a wig to infiltrate the Koopa Kids' stronghold, in which Mario is kept. In his defense, he at least tried to hide his face with a mask, which also justified her deep voice as "having a nasty cold." Peach also disguised herself as Luigi, in a comic. The difference in size between herself and Luigi was made up for with Bob-ombs. |

When Thor lost his ability to transform into a nebbish doctor, some of his fellow Avengers (in their series) took him out to see "some guys they knew," to help him work up a "civilian" hairstyle and outfits. On the way out there's a shout-out to Clark Kent. | |

In Batman (1966), The Clock King is pulling off a caper in a thin disguise with glasses and hair appliances. As the Dynamic Duo watch him from the Batmobile's TV, they confirm their suspicions of his identity by faxing a mug shot of the Clock King and then drawing glasses and a beard on it. | |

Ranma ½: When Ranma Saotome needs further disguise than what his Gender Bender Jusenkyô curse can provide, this trope is more or less how he goes about it. Though he does on occasion go a step further by pretending to be a Meganekko (see the Japanese Nanniichuan and Ryôga & Akane's First date storylines) or applying make-up and other accessories (lipstick on date with Tatewaki, make-up powder when pretending to be Ryôga's fiancée, etc.). This trope tends to work because the people he plays it against are either desperately lonely (Ryôga), utter perverts (Happôsai), have rotten vision (Mousse), or are just plain stupid (Tatewaki Kunô). And even he was surprised it worked the first time he tried it: he was expecting Ryôga to see through it, though since it did work, he does it again and again. | |

In Disney's Condorman, this is used twice. First, after The Hero Woody and Defector from Commie Land Natalia have been arrested by local cops, his Sidekick Harry shows up in a trenchcoat, fake glasses, and moustache, and a truly absurd accent to spring them. Second, after Natalia gets captured by the Big Bad, Woody and Harry together don Arab Oil Sheikh disguises to infiltrate the palace and pull off a rescue. | |

Roseanne: The titular character has gone in drag a few times on her sitcom, once in the Halloween Episode as her costume, and in a Christmas Episode where she acts as Santa Claus at her mall (Jackie was the Missus). In both cases, one would think her ear-piercing voice would give away her gender, but she actually got past most people. In the Halloween episode, she even almost gets into a fight with a drunk bar patron and has to be rescued by Dan, who inexplicably plays gay while defending her. | |

Red Mage in 8-Bit Theater. He already has long hair and he needs no accent (once again, because it's a webcomic). He simply puts on a dress and is able to fool anyone not in the party. He also tends to wear it even when not trying to disguise himself, which greatly disturbs both Black Mage and Thief. ("Cross-CHECKING"). Probably worth noting that it's actually Thief's fault — Red Mage cross-dresses so often because he has a complex that developed due to his father hating him for being a boy (he wanted a girl.) The twist? This didn't actually happen — Thief just fabricated those memories. |

Les Misérables: There's a rather clever use of disguise by the villain Thenardier at the end of the book. The narrator discusses how his disguise as the respectable "Thenard" was simply purchased from a shop which sells clothing to rogues to make them look respectable, and that his outfit belonged to a statesman. What makes his disguise clever, is that it came with quill pens as an accessory. Thenardier sticks the pens up his nose, altering the shape of his nose and changing his voice tone, rendering him unrecognizable. Valjean inadvertently disguises himself from Javert, simply by dressing well and being clean (reflecting his status as mayor), simply because Javert doesn't expect an escaped convict to be successful. Javert himself uses a disguise when he infiltrates the barricades and Eponine disguises herself as a boy for most of the end of the story. |

The entire gag for the Chicken Boo shorts on Animaniacs. A giant chicken in nothing more than a wig/hat/suit/mustache. Everyone falls for it. Well, all except one person, who everyone regards as insane. Pinky and the Brain find themselves, as lab mice, trying to disguise themselves during their plots and plans. (A minor Running Gag to some fans is that Pinky's outfits aren't meant for male mice.) |

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja shows how effective this trope can be. Thanks to a substantial number of things altering his outward physical appearance, King Radical's original identity was hidden for literally years in real life from the audience, as well as in-universe from his friends and enemies, despite the fact that the character regularly interacted with an alternate universe version of himself with the exact same facial features. Up until The Reveal, the similarity between the two characters was nearly impossible to discern, but becomes very obvious in hindsight. | |

Artemus Gordon from The Wild Wild West wears a disguise in almost every episode. Generally, his disguises consisted of a wig, a new outfit (occasionally a dress), some makeup or facial hair, and an accent. Since Ross Martin could speak several languages, he also sometimes spoke the language of the character he was portraying. | |

The Order of the Stick: Roy is forced into a Gender Bender once. Roy is bald, and in his own words, "The lesson here is, if the magic item doesn't specifically SAY it grows hair, it probably doesn't." So he gets forced into a literal Wig, Dress, Accent, minus accent 'cause it's a webcomic. And then there's the time Vaarsuvius' raven familiar Blackwing disguised himself to buy materials from a store where they'd been banned. Yes, the raven disguised himself. with a mustache. |

Metal Gear: Iroquois Pliskin in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is so obviously Snake in a different uniform with his hair down that it's genuinely shocking when he turns out to be Snake in a different uniform with his hair down. Word of God is that Hideo Kojima kept pressuring them to make the disguise more and more transparent, the idea being to take advantage of paranoid gamers expecting his twisty plots to be more twisty than they actually are. Exactly the opposite and a great example of this trope occurs in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater with EVA/Tatyana. Combed back hair, glasses, and a different set of clothes shouldn't really fool anyone, but instead of relying entirely on it, she also changes her body posture and movement and her entire way of acting. Liquid's disguising himself as Master Miller retroactively is this, as not only did he mimick Miller in both appearance and in voice, he also changed his overall demeanor to be more similar to how Miller would act. Originally, it was closer to Paper-Thin Disguise, but the rereleases of the MSX Metal Gear 2 redid the design for Miller to match his "appearance" in Metal Gear Solid, and his appearance in Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain was based on his Metal Gear Solid appearance. |

Brain from Inspector Gadget does this a lot. Penny rarely does this, but has at least once; she likely gets points from Brain. No one ever sees through the disguises (especially not Gadget). Brain, by the way, is a dog. Not a talking dog like Scooby-Doo, either. | |

On American Dad!, Roger the Alien wears many Wig, Dress, Accent disguises, and they all fool everyone who isn't acquainted with the real Roger. Storywise, the disguises' function of hiding his alienhood is taken for granted, and what Roger really has fun with is creating a new fictitious identity for himself in each episode. If Roger were a believer in creating a stable identity for himself, nothing would stop him from using the same disguise whenever he meets someone outside the Smith family—but he prefers to go through an endless succession of identities. Of both genders. This inability to stick with one disguise backfires on him on at least two occasions. One when Haley got into a fight with him over creating new personalities and ran circles around his head (when all is said and done he has no idea what just happened) and another where his persona came to care for a girl he was seducing to steal an expensive watch and he wound up Becoming the Mask. |

In The Prestige the magician Alfred Borden is actually a pair of identical twins. To keep the secret, one or the other of the twins, alternately, disguises himself as Borden's assistant, "Fallon," using a false beard, spectacles, and a hat worn low over his forehead. "Fallon" also pretends to be a mute, because his voice and accent would give him away. | |

The Granada TV production of Sherlock Holmes mostly manages to avoid this trope; Holmes' disguises tend to be fairly convincing. Once in a while, they go overboard: in "The Final Problem", Watson boards a train and sits down in his cabin opposite a man with an unrealistically long nose and a frizz of grey hair under an enormous hat, and doesn't realize it's Holmes until Holmes addresses him by name. When you get a good look at him in the moment before he takes off the disguise, you wonder how anyone could look at him and not think "that's a bloke in a costume". | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Aang disguises himself as an old man with a mustache and hair made of fur from Appa the flying bison the first time Team Avatar goes to Omashu. He gets found out when it blows off. Sokka's infamous "Mr. Wang Fire", which consists of a goofy, deeper voice, and a beard in order to pretend to be Aang's father. Sokka likes it so much, he occasionally uses it randomly after, like when trying to give psychiatric advice to Aang (which pretty much consists of Aang screaming into a sheepkoala). |

The antagonist of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc uses this to have a spy in the group assume another identity. It's made easier by the fact that the spy already has a strong (but not identical) resemblance to the person she's imitating, on account of being her twin sister, and the fact that the manner in which most of the other characters would be familiar with her appearance gives her a plausible excuse for any discrepancies (she's a model, and can pass off any difference as the result of Photoshop). Even then, the mastermind has to go to pains to keep the other characters from seeing an actual picture of the assumed identity, knowing that it would quickly give away the imposter. | |

In Monstrous Regiment this is played straight by the only male in the group acting as a washerwoman to get into the enemy base (who fools the guards but not the other washerwomen who let him continue the charade because he seems to enjoy it) but it fails when the female soldiers (who have been pretending to be male) don the same disguise and are stopped by the guards. Of course, they get around this just by having one of them lift her dress... | |

Although that getup is able to fool Brode, the moment Elisa's long-time gangster enemy, Anthony Dracon, gets a good close concentrated look at Elisa, he recognizes her instantly and reveals to his enemy. It does manage to fool her gargoyle friends, too. | |

Shego wears a wig and dress to distract Martin Smarty while Drakken and Frugal Lucre implement one of their schemes. It does fool him, despite her distinctive skin color and her involvement in a previous scheme to hold him for ransom. Fortunately for the scheme, Mr. Smarty is too Distracted by the Sexy to notice or care. Smarty Mart's phone tree menu includes: "To demand an enormous amount of money for the safe return of our founder, press three." so maybe the incidents all blur together. In Frugal Lucre's first appearance, he disguises himself with a fake beard and accent while broadcasting his demands. |

The Bible: Older Than Feudalism: Old Testament, 1 Kings 20: A minor prophet disguises himself by wearing his headband down over his eyes. Earlier, Jacob pretended to be his elder brother Esau by dressing up in his brother's clothes and wrapping sheepskin around his arms (Esau was a hairy man). This caused their father Isaac to give the firstborn's blessing to Jacob by accident, as Isaac has gone mostly deaf and blind by that point. |

When that character was discarded for the actual show, she bleached her hair blonde and cut it short. It was specifically an attempt to get back in the show without the executives catching on. Even her husband didn't recognize her at first. She was recast in the smaller role of Nurse Chapel. | |

An episode of Outlaw Star involves Gene dressing up as a woman so he can enter an all-female wrestling tournament. He is defeated in the first round. There was at least the explanation that they bribed the judges, and the one guy who knew him, but was not in on the plan, recognized him instantly. In the same episode, Aisha infiltrated the competition by stealing the costume of one of the regular entrants, since Ctarl-Ctarl weren't allowed to enter. | |

Leverage: Featured often when Sophie is running her part. Lampshaded and almost subverted in "The Rashomon Job" when a museum head of security notes that a duchess in the main hall bears a striking resemblance to one of the lab girls (both are Sophie's acts, one in a slinky evening gown with her usual accent, and the other in a white lab coat with what sounds like a Jersey accent) and almost seems to make the connection. Due to the style of the episode, that is debatable. Parker often does this as well but isn't as good with the accent bit, though she more frequently is seen using wigs than Sophie. She generally also uses Beneath Notice as well as a part of her infiltrations, occasionally switching to Show Some Leg. |

Exactly the opposite and a great example of this trope occurs in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater with EVA/Tatyana. Combed back hair, glasses, and a different set of clothes shouldn't really fool anyone, but instead of relying entirely on it, she also changes her body posture and movement and her entire way of acting. | |

In one Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO, there's an interesting mecha version of this trope. The GM Camouf, a mobile suit built by Zeon with zeonic MS parts, but made to look like a feddie GM, for covert false-flag operations. It turned out to be TOO effective, when in its first (and only) sortie, the entire squadron got shot down by friendly fire. | |

Doctor Who: In "The Reign of Terror", the Doctor obtains a policeman's uniform and a ridiculous plumed hat and spends the rest of the episode pretending to be a gendarme and bossing everyone else around. In "The Daleks' Master Plan"'s Wacky Wayside Tribe episode "The Feast of Steven", Steven dresses up in a police uniform and affects a Northern accent to talk his way into where the Doctor has been taken for questioning (and also, because this is a Panto episode, for reasons of Fanservice). The Doctor asks Steven why he's speaking in a ridiculous voice, to which Steven explains that everyone else was doing it. When the crew land in Tombstone in "The Gunfighters", Steven and Dodo (who are excited to get to be cowboys) dress up in ridiculous cowboy clothes and affect ghastly American accents. The Doctor doesn't bother with an accent and sticks with his usual outfit, which is actually appropriate in this setting, and repeatedly points out to the others how ridiculous they are coming across, at one point being forced to use a cover story that they are a Wandering Minstrel troupe and Steven and Dodo are in costume. The contemporary cowboys find them ridiculous, too, mocking Dodo's outfit and Steven's accent. Faking an accent and a new set of mannerisms was pretty much the first thing the Second Doctor would start doing in a crisis. In "The Highlanders", he first pretends to be Scottish, then English, and when he realises both of these will get him hanged, decides to pretend to be German, affecting a silly German accent and calling himself "Doktor von Wer". Pretending to be a doctor puts him in a brilliant position for bullying the others throughout. He later ends up using a Harmless Lady Disguise as well. |

In Moving Pictures, in order to enter a clicky theatre without being found out, the wizards of UU remove their hats and use some wire to make their beards look like cheap fake beards.

Though wizards occasionally have trouble letting go of the hat; in Sourcery, Conina suggests Rincewind could avoid getting lynched as a wizard simply by taking off his hat and not be a wizard at the moment.

Shows up surprisingly often in Diabolik, even with the title character having access to Latex Perfection. Justified as only Diabolik can make the plastic for those masks, so everyone else can only hope they somehow get their hands on those (the police in fact keep many confiscated masks just for this purpose) or resort to this trope and, as Diabolik's mask are known, Diabolik himself sometimes uses this kind of disguise to get around face checks. | |

Olèander fools Lupin & gang in Lupin III: Dead or Alive with a wig and dress. Obviously, Inspector Zenigata is taking lessons from Lupin, now. Zenigata had disguised her as Emerah when Lupin announced that he would steal General Headhunter's daughter. | |

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga: In the middle of their adventure, the brothers stumble upon a situation that requires a stand-in for Peach. They weren't aware of this earlier, but, conveniently, have one of Peach's dresses with them and a wig that looks like her hair (don't ask). Luigi dresses up in them to fool Cackletta and Fawful, barely speaking (even less than usual) and covering his nose and mustache with his daintily-gloved hands. | |
