This month Marvel is releasing Variant Covers to 14 titles with the theme "X-MEN: EVOLUTIONS", which depict characters' costume designs through the ages. Below are some of the ones I felt inclined to share:

Several friends of mine feel the same way as you, Anon.

Just a personal preference on my part.

Much love to the 80's punk Rogue and Mohawk Storm!
I kinda like the cat-man Beast, but I get the distaste for the Ron Pearlman-ness of him.
Kinda lame the Cyclops one skipped over the Morrison New X-Men design. That was my second favorite after the original 60's look.
