* [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles HONEY! WHERE IS MY SUPA 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 [[HoistByHisOwnPetard hoisted by their own petard]]. However, if they happen to be an ElementalEmbodiment of Ice/Cold, then there's no need for protection from the elements, so they can [[ExposedToTheElements 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 PrettyInMink! Another possibility is that the character is adapted to cold and needs protection against the intolerably ''hot'' temperatures that normal people find comfortable.

* Elsa in ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' [[GorgeousGarmentGeneration makes a dress for herself made of ice]]. It's a rather slinky dress (save for the long, flowing cape), but, hey, the cold never bothered her, anyway, so it's okay.

* Iceman of the ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}!'' 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.

* Alex Koslov and Rocky Romero's ice powers are (probably) in their heads, but it's Forever Hooligan's excuse for wearing coats in blistering heat.
* In 2012, The now Sinclair owned Wrestling/RingOfHonor decided to start running more Pennsylvania shows out of the Bell Vornon Rostraver Ice Garden to save money, the downside that the building was an ice garden, meaning they weren't allowed to heat it up, leading to interesting visual of steam coming off of wrestler tights as they wrestled over an ice rink(including a rematch of Davey Richards and Michael Elgin's StarMakingRole.[[/folder]]

->"We wear fur coats, in the Summertime. So ice cold, so we don't mind!"

[[caption-width-right:330:She isn't cold in that, she '''[[ElementalEmbodiment is]]''' [[AnIcePerson cold]] in that.]]

* The opening scene from the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' features a string of attacks from four ice-themed villains: [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Mr. Freeze]], [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Icicle Jr.]], [[Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} Killer Frost]] and [[TheFlash Captain Cold]]. Unlike above, it's not Killer Frost who's the least-dressed, but Icicle Jr.

* [[TheFlash Flash]] foe 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 FreezeRay.

* Recurring {{summon|Magic}} Shiva from the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series has a very regal aura, but rarely wears more than what's necessary to retain her modesty.

** Shiva from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'' was actually a subversion, wearing full body icy plate armor with a visored helmet along with a sword and shield.

* In ''{{Disney/Frozen}}'', when Queen Elsa gets used to her powers, she [[GorgeousGarmentGeneration makes a dress for herself made of ice]]. It's a rather slinky dress (save for the long, flowing cape), but the cold never bothered her, anyway.

* Ice Man from ''VideoGame/MegaMan1'' can generate ice and is dressed in a blue and white Arctic gear. It would be justified since his original job was Arctic investigation — except that he's a robot and thus shouldn't ''need'' protective clothing.
** Frost damage 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.

* Mr. Freeze in just about any ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' 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 [[AwesomeYetPractical practical function]] of augmenting Freeze's strength and durability, making him a physical match for Batman.

When a character is AnIcePerson, has AnIceGun, or uses other means to KillItWithIce, he tends to go one of two ways when it comes to costuming, wearing either a properly warm arctic suit ([[ColorCodedForYourConvenience 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 [[GenreSavvy insurance]] against being HoistBelsayHisOwnPetard.
