No Magical Girl can be complete without a spiffy costume, decked out with frills and bling. While there are a huge variety of styles when it comes to such costumes, the pervading theme seems to be colorful, very girly, highly unlikely fighting gear meant to appeal to Rule of Cool, Rule of Cute, or Rule of Glamorous and whose impracticality never seems to get in the way of their ability to take out the bad guys. Impossibly Cool Clothes is definitely in effect here. Usually Suspension of Disbelief is required to believe such a costume is ideal for fighting, though occasionally there will be a Handwave in the form of an explicit mention that the protection of the outfit is magical. Another possible reason for having these outfits (on the animators' part, at least) instead of the more traditional superhero bodysuit, is that it's a lot harder to have a flashy, step-by-step transformation sequence with a traditional superhero outfit.
While every Magical Girl has her own unique costume, there are definitely some very common elements that pop up within the genre and which, when combined, become the iconic Magical Girl costume. The most common traits include:

In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Madoka's magical girl outfit is closest to this. The other girls have elements in their outfits though.

Team Alchemical in Sleepless Domain plays this straight, with bows, hair decorations, and poofy skirts galore. The other magical girls in the series tend to have more practical outfits.

The outfits in Lyrical Nanoha have distinct military elements, but also have some more traditional elements in their design. For example, the main character Nanoha Takamachi wears a dress with Giant Poofy Sleeves.

Cure Sunshine◊ Super Cure Sunshine
Cure Moonlight◊ Super Cure Moonlight is unique in that she is from the previous generation of cures, her outfit is quite different than the others she does not use a mini skirt but a cut open dress, and uses two color motifs instead of the usual one, purple and silver. Her Fashionable Asymmetry matches up with Dark Pretty Cure hinting at their connection at they are two halves of the moon and other things.

Futari wa Pretty Cure:
Cure Black her short top caused quite a stir among Moral Guardians as a result it is covered up in Season 2. She is the only Cure in the entire series to not get a hair accessory as a Cure.
In the first movie her outfit gets a golden color, and her earrings and other small hearts on her clothes become diamonds.
In the second movie Her outfit◊ takes on a Feather Motif. In Pretty Cure All Stars DX 2 her Cure Rainbow Black form resembles this but without the Feather Motif.
Cure White She only gets a minor Frilly Upgrade for season 2 same golden upgrade for movie 1 and movie 2 upgrade Cure Rainbow White in Pretty Cure All Stars DX 2 uses the same outfit but with Wings
Shiny Luminous[1] While not an Official Cure her outfits are certainly treated as such and follow the same upgrade line as Cure White

While the Sailor Guardians of Sailor Moon start out with basic Sailor Fukus, they tend to get frillier as they gain more powers, particularly in Sailor Moon's case, who, by the time Stars rolls around, has three layers of frilly skirts, pearls and wings in her hair and on her gloves, and two sets of wings, one on her waist replacing her back bow, and another on her back. The live action adaptation also gives Sailor Moon a frillier upgrade for her Superpowered Evil Side Princess Sailor Moon, which incorporates a lace underskirt, bigger bows, and a crown.

Wonder Woman and the Star Riders: Wonder Woman wears a tutu-like skirt with a lacy underskirt, star print tights, and a cape, vambraces, boots and top in magenta. Dolphine's got blue and teal tights, a skirt made of lace with a sparkly cape skirt in back, a crown-like hair piece, and a scalloped edged neck covering that looks like a tight-fitting gugel that's had the actual hood removed. Ice is essentially a palate swap of Dolphine with a different skirt and the neck covering transformed into the top of a cape. Star Lily is wearing a gigantic flower made of lace on her back, flower accents and a multi-layered skirt.

The girls of Smile PreCure! all share a Feather Motifs with lots of little variations to their outfits like everyone has a half skirt tied on their back in a different shape, different shaped chest ribbons, the Tomboyish Cure Sunny and Cure March are lacking in the frills a bit on their skirt and shoulders for easier action and Cure Sunny is the only one to wear Zettai Ryouiki.
