The high collar on K Kid's white outfit would have interfered with his vision during battle.

I have to break the near-unanimity, as well, on Grell's outfit for Cosmic Boy.
~ It's functional in a galaxy where nearly every planet -- certainly Earth -- has some form of climate control. Fewer temperature extremes and less fabric have been the trends over centuries as this has progressed, even in our own "backward" era.
~ The whole "how is it held up" question shows a lack of imagination. Selectively taut fibers, down to the molecular level? Being attached to an invisible body mesh that provides weightless "smart" armor, reacting to incoming fists or projectiles? Being held in by a 24/7 transuit, for that matter? Those are all active possibilities.
~ Bare shoulders and pecs look good on men, especially when so many are in such good shape. For all we know, that physique comes out of a bottle at GNC, a millennium hence!
Beyond all that, the men in our family will all look great in this design. It could be the skin tone, though. We don't need a tan {g}

Her outfit reminds me of a nurse's uniform. In terms of her train (which so far isn't outrageously long), I see it akin to the flowing fabric, tassles etc you sometimes see used in martial arts flicks -- they're used to obscure and confuse the opponent during combat. The same might be said of her colors -- it might be a component to trijitsu, which would make her outfit the most practical of all! (well, next to Wildfire's that is )

Three pages on this thread with 45 years of history?!?
What's clear is that the legion needs some serious work on their costumes!
Mr. Batista, are you listening?
We're talkin' ...
High collars. Bizarre leggings. Capes. Capes ! Capes!! HATS! and Fringe. Must have more fringe. Bring back dawnstar if only for the fringe!

It could be liquid latex or somesuch as well...
Or maybe it's all just iron filings that "cling" to him like tiny refrigerator magnets...

When Giffen did the "pocket" costumes he gave Invisible Kid II a really clunky costume covered in armour. It never made sense to me why a character with a stealth based power would have such a clumsy and probably noisey costume.

My apologies,DrakeB3003. Next time, I will try to get my facts right, before I rush off to defend the honor of the hottest superheroine's costume of all time. How can ANYONE claim Imras Bikini-costume would be "Inpractical"?! Just think of it! Every Villain with the exeption of Glorith would have SWOONED, just after he laid eyes on Imra's Dress, and LONG, bevore Imra ever had to fight (though we all would have LOVED seeing Imra kickboxing an enemy in that costume.) And, Omni Craig, Your'e dead on with all Your assessments of Imra's aparel. Glad to know that I'm not the only one who swoons/drools over "Bikini-Saturn Girl".
-------------------- Bring back Dave Cockrum's Timber Wolf!!
