Diana wore a different outfit in every issue. You might have some disagreement with Mike Sekowsky and Dick Giordano's fashion choices--or you might want to take up your argument with the whole decade of the 1960s. But even if you look at the cover for 178, I'd say the other two outfits were not as sexy or as flattering to Diana's form. For decades, Diana Prince was trapped in a bland military outfit (although I would say the '40s uniforms were sharper) and the way WW was drawn in the old star-spangles was not that attractive, either.
In the sixties gone Wonder Woman comics was very badly in sales; in other words the draw was larger than the record of DC today, which was very weak at the time. So the publisher decided to do something drastic! They took everything that makes Wonder Woman, the Wonder Woman! Really all ... To the depths of Tartarus were sent her powers, her lasso of truth, her bracelets, her magical island, his supporting characters and his iconic uniform, replaced by a linen and "street" - and as if that was not enough lent the girl some new kung fu moves the best style Bruce Lee, now after all she was a super spy or anything like that. Diana even had a Chinese master who taught him the way of the warrior! How wonderful, right?
This visual throws away everything that made her the iconic female representation of most recognized heroine of the planet. In other words it was an epic idiocy, even though she really cool that cover struggling with Catwoman (the one with a tail ...). But in the early seventies, thanks to the mobilization of fans (such that today the harass until they take off the pants of the heroine in the new uniform created by Jim Lee) Wonder Woman returned to his swimsuit starring classic bath. Many hate the look of the nineties in which she wore a uniform that looked bike-cross clothes and wig? Yeah, but somehow she still remained recognizable at that time.

Zan and Jayna The Wonder Twins
Bulletman and Bulletgirl
Fate (Jared Stevens)
Wildcat (Ted Grant)
Although I adore the comic of the Justice Society and like a lot of Ted Grant, the Wildcat. The truth must be told, Ted what you had in mind when he decided to wear this THING? My God, it seems one of these plush costumes that some guys dress to announce special sales promotions in front of toy store. Imagine a guy dressed in Garfield, Pink Panther or Mickey Mouse running around to face the bad guys. Of course, nobody would respect the said, hero, the worst is that the Wildcat's just a former heavyweight boxer who has no powers. How is he still alive today? After all if I were Darkseid, only of anger, threw the omega effect him first. Or, the guy is better than Batman or have a secret power that nobody knows: Lucky, very lucky.
I doubt, but I doubt even that someone would come to fight against the crime, dressed in stuffed animal, much as the designers put in threatening poses, simply unconvincing. Poor Ted lacked only use slippers.
B'wana Beast
When I see the B'wana Beast I wonder what the rays the DC was thinking when he created this character. It seems to me a mixture of Mexican luchador with indigenous, which is not a good thing. It goes without saying that this thong made of the remains of the Wally's clothes mixed with that horrible mask Mexican luchador result in the worst uniforms ever created by DC, right?
Superman electric
"Hey guys !!! How about we take the most famous super hero in the world, took he all that makes he the most iconic symbol and recognizable around the globe, and instead put he into a uniform one-piece, light blue and white. Ah! Nothing cape too! And we will give he ridiculous electrical power, just like a generic version second villain of Spider-Man, the Electro; any objection ??? "

You can't invoke the Super friends and not mention the costumes of the Three Pantless Amigos!
The Wonder Twins costumes were actually good by comparison.
Dorado thankfully got pants, ...but no shirt!
I guess when it came time to dress the minori-team, they had to show plenty of skin! You know so the kids would instantly recognise what "tribe" they were from, incase the accents weren't thick enough. LOL!
