NSFW comic ''ComicBook/{{xXxenophile}}'' frequently invokes this, for both male and female characters (when they bother to wear anything at all). Another interesting way to use it is in bed. Given that this is first and foremost a role-playing item, you can use it to spark passion in your partner. Some men and women simply love this stuff so it wouldn’t be awkward if you show up in bedroom wearing just a chainmail bikini. Just make sure your man or woman is into it. Used Materials I know now that my story had intrigued him because a week later he mentioned he'd looked through some old photos and he thought he had found a picture of me from that earlier time. He asked if I'd had blonde hair (I didn't) but in another week, when I ran into him again at the Post Office, he said 'I have something to show you'. And out he pulled from his wallet a small, faded photo bearing the words 'To Stacey, Love Joan'. I had to tell him I wasn't Joan, I wasn't the girl in the photo, sending him on his way to further ponder who this crazy lady was that had wormed her way into his thoughts.

A rather hilarious version of this occurred in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'', where Hephaestus tells Diana that he "made that armor" for her mother…but that Diana has a fuller figure so he thinks he should be allowed to rework it at some point. Meanwhile Ares and Hades both have fully covering scary armor, hinting that Hephaestus agrees with this trope.FanDisservice The elderly and very male]] Huang Gai wears one at the battle of Red Cliff in ''Fanfic/FarceOfTheThreeKingdoms''. It comes in handy when he falls into the water. The title character of ''Red Shetland'', a Furry comic that homages ''Comicbook/RedSonja'' and the ''Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian'' mythos as a whole, wears one of these, although it's not quite as all-protecting as is the norm for this trope. Despite the preceding paragraph, this trope does indeed have male examples, particularly when the goal is to portray male fighters as super-macho and/or 'uncivilized'. {{Barbarian Hero}}es and [[PostApunkalypticArmor post-apocalyptic tribe members]] tend to be depicted as {{Walking Shirtless Scene}}s: you might add one big pauldron, a pair of forearm bracers, and an armored belt or loincloth, but nothing that would obscure those chiseled pecs and abs. At the downplayed end you can have an armor version of SleevesAreForWimps to show off their muscular arms. There is debate about whether half-naked male warriors in fiction are sexually objectified in the same way as female ones, or whether a heroic, muscular body is merely part of the power fantasy that the male audience is encouraged to vicariously live through. It does seem, however, that at least some male examples are intended as legit fanservice.

While at Ulithi, Shangri-La became the flagship of Carrier Task Force 2. Vice Admiral John S. McCain, Sr. hoisted his flag on Shangri-La on 18 May. Six days later, TG 58.4, with Shangri-La in company, sortied from the lagoon. On 28 May, TG 58.4 became TG 38.4 and McCain relieved Mitscher as Commander, TF 38, retaining Shangri-La as his flagship. On 2–3 June, the task force launched air strikes on the Japanese home islands – aimed particularly at Kyūshū, the southernmost of the major islands. Facing the stiffest airborne resistance to date, Shangri-La's airmen suffered their heaviest casualties.ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Queen Clea and Zara both wear what are essentially strapless metal bras for tops. Clea seems to be going for armor, while Zara is just using the fashion to bolster her scam cult. On 10 April, she weighed anchor for Ulithi Atoll where she arrived 10 days later. After an overnight stay in the lagoon, Shangri-La departed Ulithi in company with destroyers Haggard and Stembel to report for duty with Vice Admiral Marc A. Mitscher's Task Force 58 (TF 58). On 24 April, she joined Task Group 58.4 (TG 58.4) while it was conducting a fueling rendezvous with TG 50.8. The next day, Shangri-La and her air group, CVG-85, launched their first strike against the Japanese. The target was Okino Daito Jima, a group of islands several hundred miles to the southeast of Okinawa. Her planes successfully destroyed radar and radio installations there and, upon their recovery, the task group sailed for Okinawa. Shangri-La supplied combat air patrols for the task group and close air support for the 10th Army on Okinawa before returning to Ulithi on 14 May. Occasionally, someone will claim (in-universe or out) that Wonder Woman's swimsuit-like outfit is supposed to be armor. ComicStrip/SnarfQuest'': Some of Telerie's choices for combat attire are questionable; such as a chainmail shirt that just covers her breasts and a LadyLegionnaireWear skirt, leaving both her midriff and her legs bare.

Needless to say, chainmail bikinis are tailor-made for fantasy fans but if you have an adventurous spirit, we suggest you try it as well. It might not be your traditional swimming suit but it can definitely be a lot of fun.
