Some costume designers are of the belief that Everything's Better With Zippers; if you add zippers to a character's outfit, then it makes them somehow intrinsically cooler. Even if the placement of said zippers makes no practical sense whatsoever. This has become rather prevalent in Japanese popular media especially in the past decade or so, and may or may not have taken cues from the Goth fashion subculture. Certain other Western subcultures have crossover into this as well (e.g. bondage pants). The cousin trope to this is Too Many Belts. Not to be confused with Zip Me Up which, while involving zippers, is about something else entirely. See also Chained by Fashion. The opposite of We Will Not Have Pockets in the Future. A subtrope of Useless Accessory. |

The World Ends with You features characters with highly gratuitous zippers as well and then hangs a gigantic lampshade on it when the main character grumbles the quote at the top of this page. The game itself ripped on Japanese fashion trends that love to revel in belts and zippers, trends that inspired Nomura's infamous art style. | |

Franken Fran takes this to a horrifying extreme — Adorea has zippers all over her SKIN. Zippers which have a horrifying function too - Adorea acts as Fran's mobile organ storage and the zippers make it easier to retrieve the organs! |

While most of the exorcist uniforms in D.Gray-Man have zippers (and relatively large ones at that) Allen's second uniform probably takes the cake. The longest zipper winds around his whole left arm right down to the back of his hand. | |

The character Drywall in Scud the Disposable Assassin is a blue plush being who is covered with yellow zippers. They do have a function — he contains an infinite space full of junk that is neatly sorted into labeled cubicles made of drywall (hence his name), and he can pull objects into or out of himself with gloves on cords that come out of his zippers. | |

BlazBlue: The most prominent feature of Tager's outfit is his two Gigantic Zippers! Carl wears a giant zipper-pull as a bow tie. Taokaka's outfit has a large and visible zipper running down the front. Noel has a pair of them running down the front of her shirt/skirt. They are oddly hypnotic... |

It's almost a self-parody, as at the beginning of the first Kingdom Hearts, they said they got their belts-and-zippers outfits in order to blend in to the world full of Kingdom Hearts original characters. | |

Bruno Bucciarati from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind not only has zippers on his outfit, but his Stand allows him to attach zippers anywhere, and he makes zippers far more badass than they'd be in any other series. Ironically, the Stand is called "Zipper Man" in the dub, as opposed to his original name of Sticky Fingers. | |

Kingdom Hearts: Sora is the reigning king of this trope and probably the first person to come to most people's minds when this trope is mentioned. Even though his Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] outfits only features zippers on his jacket and zippers on his shoes, which really isn't all that weird when it comes to placement of zippers. Kairi features a pretty zipperific dress as well. In the same game, Donald Duck has a zipper on his hat, as pictured atop this page. | |
