My favorite costume bar none is the navy blue and white Animal Man costume started in the new 52.

WHO DAT?!!
I didn't know how the change had come about until I got GREEN LANTERN ARCHIVES Vol. 5, where there's an in-between change that happens from around issue 35 to 38 (in 1965). The green part on the chest narrows in so there's just enough space for the chest emblem and then the shoulders start to spread out, before we get to the ultimate version of the costume. Since Sid Greene was now inking Gil Kane, instead of Joe Giella, I wondered if Sid was just inking the pencils differently or if the change was something Gil wanted. That in-between costume is not a good look, so I'm glad they found a better solution.
I always liked the Superboy costume with the leather jacket and red gloves.
Shamelessly stolen from MajorHoy:
Perez' Hourman is one of my faves!
Yeah, Classic Hourman has an awesome yet simplistic costume
I would say this pretty much sums up my favorites.

The original Huntress costume where from the right angle her silhouette could be mistaken for Batman's.
I almost always like purple and green together because it's an awesome color combination that's rarely seen in abundance outside of a comic book. So add Joker, the Riddler in his hat and suit and the well dressed Catwoman to my list.

When it comes to sex appeal you can't beat the undeniable beefcake of Hawkman or Aquaman in his long hair and bearded 90's look. Along that same vein comes Val Zod which takes the simplicity of Superman's costume and blows it out the water with an appropriate color change that matches his eyes.

And I'll always love those "impractical" super-heroine costumes I grew up with, anything with a high heel like Batgirl's yellow boots, excess jewelry like Donna Troy's mid-70's Cardi costume that had standard Wonder Woman bracelets along with inexplicable bangles and a long necklace that could put an eye out and Supergirl in puffy sleeves and hot pants is by far her best outfit. Also I have to say I miss earrings, especially Wonder Woman's they finish a look well.
There's also something magical about the Real Captain Marvel costume with it's braided gold cape details and double breasted shirt.

How in the hell did I forget black suit Superman. Either of em:
I also really really really like this Kryptonian outfit (I forget what it's from?)
I have always loved Dr. Fate's look...

...and I'm not typically a fan of tweaking great concepts. But the "Egyptianization" of his design sent me Over The Moon!
