Your most (ab)used Costume piece?

I'd have to say the Jewel Belt gets used in a lot of my designs. I'm also fond of the Justice shoulder pieces and gloves (with the plate on top of the arm). I also use Rocket Boots a whole lot, but that's more because there are no jet pack costume options.
Oh, and I use the 'Offical' police belt on any/every character it makes sense for it to be on. It's the most 'gagety' looking belt they have.

I couldn't agree more.
I think I've used Wedge hair on a couple of my female characters. Also used the spike collar on a few as well.

Otherwise for me:
Hair: Glam, Serrated Sugar, and Long Layers gets a lot of use
Face: I tend to try to vary them, but female 16 and 20 tend to have more usage
Helmet: Round Half Helmet often is used alongside Helmet Detail 1: Warrior and one of many visors (Reflector Shield, Geo Shield, Scanner, Praetoria Police, etc)
Body: Magic Bolero with Bridal or Bridal & Lace. Also Clockwork Chest Detail
Belt: Retro and Official (helps that I have a PPD SG)
Gloves: Witch Tight, Sport, Vanguard Big, Enforcer, and Resistance as of late, previously Sleeves and Wristbands were common
Bottom: Clockwork and Clockwork w/pads are common for tech heroes
Boots: Thigh High, Witch Tight, and Victorian Steampunk are commonplace... Thigh High was VERY common, but with the introduction of Witch Tight and Victorian Steampunk, the ratios have spread out a bit. Also Sport, Motorcycle, and Strappy (for casualware) appear often.
Oddly enough, I use few shoulder pieces... if I do it tends to be Gladiator or Praetoria Police (for knight-related characters and PPD characters respectively).
OK... wow... that's a big list... Am I abusive? or do I just have too many alts?
The color black.
Almost every character I have ever made has black on their costume somewhere... usually as one of the two or three main colors.
As for actual pieces? The boots from the Martial Arts pack, chains, the various multi-pocketed belts, the Stealth chest piece, the small shoulder pads (round with a contrast edge color), ummm that's all I can think of at the moment, I am sure there are a few more.
OHHH, all of the "chin fuzz" facial hair types (soul patch, small goatee, etc.).
I love the wraps gloves and boots wirh spikes

Thanatos Omega - Stalker - Lvl 50(+1)
Wraps gloves.
Valkyrie boots.
Reaper face detail 2 (with the off-shoulder cape scarf trick, too)
Neck Cover mask.
Chaos Leather.
Sinister boots, no pad.
Articulated Roman armor chest and shoulders.
Vanguard Big gloves.
The Incarnate Ascendant boots and gloves. Not the glowy ones though. Too expensive, too flashy.

Resistance hair 2
No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.
My most abused thing isn't a single piece, it's a combination of pieces:
Sleeveless Jackets (Baron, Uniform, Biker)
Leather Straps Chest
Tee pattern
Makes a decent 2-color short sleeve option.
Pair the top with either Business slacks or the Resistance pants with the Thin Stripe 1 pattern. (Single stripe down the length of the leg.)
Generally if I use a hat it's Fedora 2, this pic was from messing with the Steam Pack in it's beta though, so it has a Steampunk hat instead.
I basically always use Supernatural Face 11.

Tophat and English monacle. I decided to make it a running theme for every character I make when it was pointed out to me that I use those two items alot.
Fingerless Gloves
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
I don't have any packs/boosters so my options are pretty much core ones.
Common to all:
- Trenchcoats are good for almost anything (and the only thing I have "extra")
- Wisp Aura have been my favorite, in the eye only but not too bright 
- Colors: black, hot colors and white, as it's very hard to combine the other colors. I work with colors and I know what I'm saying here. It's very unfortunate these options are so limited. Other color combinations can't go far from their own group (like variations of green) with the exception of green with purple and blue with yellow. Also, too many bright colors that tend to not look like cloth at all.
On Females:
- Resistance hair, any, they have good textures!
- Thigh High, long legs on females looks awesome.
On Males:
- Suits are desirable almost everytime
- True story: I wish there were way more options for males to be sexier.
