Most abused costume piece..

Female Body Type... has got to be my most overused costume.
Beyond that though.
Valkyrie 2 shoulders - Big but without the wings.
Valkyrie boots - Again without wings.
Valkyrie or Enforcer Chest - Very very seldom have anything else on all my characters.
Very partial to Robotic Arms 2 and use one of the options that has a cable running from the shoulder to the arm...
Mimee and short spikes for hair styles.
Oh and Tech Sleek for basic skin options.
Though that said at the moment I'm pretty much only using half helmet with some form of face mask and the enforcer jawbone thing.
What can I say I like power armoured females... 
Enforcer gloves
Retro goggles
Platform boots
Sleeves
Suits.
I have so many characters in suits.
...I forgot what experience means.
Definitely the jeweled belt and sleeves.
My fave combo used to be matching the flare on the top of the thigh high boots with the flared sleeves. Since the boots became skin-tight though, <sigh>, I can't really say I'm more drawn to anything else. Quite a few 'likes', quite a few 'dislikes', but no longer anything I have to steer myself away from overusing.
Valk. Boots

I can confidently say I have never made a female character without stilettos or high heels of some sort.
My absolute most abused costume piece though would have to be suit jackets. I had a glee moment when I saw that the jacket options were given an overhaul (forgot which issue)
Soulsunder has always had a suit for his first costume
my I16 villain Mezzuxz will be in a suit
and Strawberry Renegade uses the baron vest to create a suit look
and countless alts, including a few women characters.
50Soulsunder: DM/Regen Scrapper
50Limitshift: EM/WP Brute
Victoria Nox: Dark/Dark Dominator
And about 5 others that change constantly...
Cigar.
All my dudes have at least one look with it.
- Hostile Face 5... It's so very perfect for both Heroes and Villains alike.
- Baggy pants of any kind.
- Hand wraps
- The Baron coat
- Organic shoulders
Beyond that? Not quite sure.
The jewel and tribal spikes belts. I always try to do something different for each character, but seem to default to one of those. It's so sad...
I also use face #16 or supernatural #12

Same here with the miniskirt. Almost every female alt I have has at least one. And I really like the mini-jacket sleeveless vest on my ladies.

Top Hat! and Red hair for female characters.
Almost all of my female characters will have, on one of their costumes ---
--- The dragon bracers
--- The Enforcer chest detail, especially no. 1, which is the only Enforcer piece I typically use. After an ITF this is sometimes replaced with one of the Roman chest details.
--- Formal or Victory Laurel hair styles
--- Belt: Champion or V
--- The armored armband with a spike on it.

slick sunglasses
exproto boots underneath slacks (looks like fancy trainers)
but mostly
the small spikey shoulderpads--all of my toons with 3 or more slots has at least one with the small spikey shoulder pads
I have a thing about the robotic arms too but i usually manage to stop myself
Sure today is the first day of the rest of your life. But so was yesterday. And look how that turned out.

This would be mine too - I use the same male face and one of two female faces just about all of the time (forget which ones exactly). And tights, at least on heroes.

Suggestions:
Super Packs Done Right
Influence Sink: IO Level Mod/Recrafting
Random Merit Rolls: Scale cost by Toon Level
I have to start hitting that "random" button more often for fresh, bold, new ideas.
