When a character is An Ice Person, has a Freeze Ray, or uses other means to Kill It with Ice, he tends to go one of two ways when it comes to costuming, wearing either a properly warm arctic suit (in a lovely blue/black/white color scheme), or a... bathing suit?
Why the opposite extremes? Well, getting decked out for cold weather makes sense when the cold-wielding character is still a warm-blooded person, so it provides insurance against being hoist by their own petard. However, if they happen to be an Elemental Embodiment of Ice/Cold, then there's no need for protection from the elements, so they can cavort around in summer beach wear during a cold spell. Interestingly, just because he or she doesn't need to wear cold protection gear doesn't mean they won't indulge in an excuse to be Pretty in Mink!
Special mention goes to characters who wear heat proofing gear to avoid overheating or being melted by Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors savvy foes, as Mr. Freeze demonstrates in the page image. Ice suits also tend to be blue because Blue Means Cold.
Compare Stylish Protection Gear, Winter Royal Lady, Happy Holidays Dress, Sexy Santa Dress, Fur Bikini, Pelts of the Barbarian, Clothes Make the Superman.
Do not confuse with Impossibly Cool Clothes, though there may be some overlap. Also not to be confused with Elemental Armor, which would involve the character actually wearing ice as their clothing.
This item is available in the Trope Co. catalog.

X-Men: Iceman. Technically he's wearing clothes under his ice-body, but when he's iced up he looks like he's pretty much in the buff.
In the old days, he wasn't. Getting his ice coating broken or melted left him in his boxers. He doesn't get a proper costume until well into his stint with the Champions. As is common for X-characters suffering Clothing Damage, he doesn't get too embarrassed by it.

Justice League International: Ice actually pinballs between both ends of this trope, but usually leans closer to the first description; she's mainly seen in a snug bodysuit that completely covers her skin, but it has been cut in a variety of ways.

The Flash:
Captain Cold wears a blue and white set of arctic gear, which is pretty helpful since he's a normal human whose shtick is to use a Freeze Ray.
Golden Glider, sister of Captain Cold, is also an ice-themed villain (though the ice motif has been downplayed since her original appearance, at least until she began pairing up with Chilblaines), though despite her's also being derived from tech she instead chooses to use an ice-skater motif, wearing a short dress with a low neckline. Somewhat justified as she is actually an Olympic level ice skater so this is the clothes she's used to wearing in such environments, and her ice abilities are largely based around creating ice she can skate on, even defying gravity.

Batman: Mr. Freeze in just about any continuity wears an environment protection suit to protect himself from... mild warmth. Due to an accident he can't exist in temperatures above freezing, so the only time he's ever out of his suit is if the area is solidly frozen. The suit also has a practical function of augmenting Freeze's strength and durability, making him a physical match for Batman.
The irony is played up in the animated movie Sub-Zero, where he wears summer gear and swims in simple trunks at his lair in the Arctic.

Firestorm:
The Louise Lincoln Killer Frost's costume, which is basically a fur-trimmed swimsuit. This is justified by her powers— she absorbs heat and turns it into cold. The version of her in the page picture from Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, as well as Justice League, uses a bikini and a one-piece, respectively. While she sometimes complains about how cold her powers make her, there's no sense in her wrapping up, because she doesn't generate any heat for warm clothes to trap, and if anything risk blocking external heat out.
The Caitlin Snow Killer Frost's costume is somewhere in the middle; she wears a long coat with a fur trim along the neck, but underneath it she wears a black tank top that leaves her midriff exposed.

Ghiaccio from Jojos Bizarre Adventure Golden Wind is a variant: the primary manifestation of his Stand, White Album, is a suit of armor that can lower the temperature of Ghiaccio's general location. However, the interior is insulated to be comfortably warm since he doesn't have any special resistance to cold.

Ice Man from Mega Man can generate ice and is dressed in a blue and white Arctic gear. It would be justified since his original job was Arctic investigation. In case you're wondering why a robot would need protective clothing, the reason is that frost can still damage machinery, especially if it uses any sort of liquid for cooling (when it's not in arctic weather), hydraulic pressure system for movement, or water tank for it to manipulate ice.
