The classic outfit and maybe her Tibet outfit and the wetsuits/catsuits. Everything else she wears is pretty standard fare for what everyday young women would wear.

I think her accessorising is more iconic than her clothes. The mini backpack, dual holsters, dual pistols, (to a lesser extent) long boots with the socks rolled over, long braid and tall curvy-athletic Amazonian figure are all iconic, in a combination together that makes the whole "Lara Croft look". Reboot Lara having zero of these things makes her plain and not very recognisable as the character, along with a radically different personality to boot.

Although she hasn't worn it totally consistently, I think it's pretty much established that blue is her signature colour at this point. This is one thing that Reboot Lara has continued, albeit in different shades of blue, which is fine.

I'd only say her classic outfit is the most iconic because it's the most recognisable and at the time was pretty unique.

I agree with this. As long as Lara has the backpack, gloves, braid, dual holsters/guns and boots, she can pretty much wear any clothes. The iconic gear is still present.

Iconic:
- Classic outfit
- TR2 swimsuit
- TR3 catsuit
- Reboot's main Survivor attire

Maaaaybe:
- TR2 bomber jacket

Are they the best? Or everyone's favourites? No. Some are really good, some are just good, but I believe those are the most recognisable ones.

I just can't picture anyone thinking "Lara Croft" and dressing her immediately with the Blue Heron tunic or the Remnant outfit.

My personal favourite is Shadow's Tactical Adventurer, but I fear it'll not be remembered as an iconic one...unless, perhaps, it's used as her main outfit once again.

- Lengend’s main + biker

Honestly the best ones in the franchise.
