These kind of shorts were Macaela Mercedes's backup when she was placed in an evening gown match, in case she lost(she did at least once to The Diva). Lightning in Final Fantasy XIII and Serah Farron in Final Fantasy XIII-2 both wear black bike shorts under their miniskirts. Both members still lose the shorts along with their suits when knocked out, as all members of the team get knocked out of their suits. Naturally, Finagle's Law is in full effect, and a stray gust of wind gives Jun a good look at Tomo's panties. In episode 9 of Tokyo Mew Mew, Bu Ling is shown to wear her regular clothes, shorts and all, under her maid uniform.

In Wonder-Cheerleader's case, her "pose" note The stance a character takes on the gallery when found as a new permanent member to the team, or as figures has her giving a high kick facing the screen that would have completely exposed her if not for the shorts. But, as any girl will tell you if you move too much, it's very hard to avoid creating Panty Shots while wearing one. Tales of Xillia's Leia has a school uniform DLC outfit that leaves her with a short, plaid miniskirt.Seitokai Yakuindomo prefers not to use Panty Shots so any gag that would otherwise result in one gives the character shorts.

There's also a few cases of Modesty Bras: Tops that expose male characters' bare chests (like Beerus' clothing or Gogeta's vest) can be worn by females, in which case they wear the default tube-top bra underneath it. In Worm, Glory Girl's superhero costume (a white dress with cape, boots, and tiara) includes a pair of these.Bridget from Guilty Gear wears these, though she still holds down her skirt after jumping and in one of her winning poses one of her yoyos accidentally gets caught in the dress and shows the shorts are rather form-fitting around her buttocks, much to her chagrin. I’m working on a bunch of other modest summer outfit posts (the struggle to look cute and not melt is real!
