The Spider-Man Suit is a specialized suit used by Peter Parker to protect his identity while operating as a vigilante. Originally consisting of a beanie with a red mask, sunglasses, a jacket, and a street clothes, the suit received a major overhaul when it was replaced with a spandex costume, and spider-symbols. Gwen Stacy would later offered a new suit to Parker if he ever tears his costume which has now been replaced into another similar costume with bigger eyes and new spider-symbols.
History
The Amazing Spider-Man
Vigilante Suit
While Peter was being chased by criminals across rooftops he fell into an abandoned gym. There a luchador wrestling poster inspired him to create a mask to hide his identity. He created a red mask by sewing it together and wore it with sunglasses and a beanie over it along with a jacket, black shirt, dark jeans and chuck Taylor shoes. He used this outfit to hunt down criminals.
Spider-Man Suit
Peter later created and upgraded the Spider-Man suit made from spandex and modified his mask to have the lenses from the sunglasses fused over the eye sockets. He used the suit to fight crime and save people. During his battle with the Lizard the suit was damaged when the Lizard slashed Peter across the chest with his claws. After the Lizard reverted back to Doctor Connors and was incarcerated in prison and the death of George Stacy, Peter made spare Spider-Man suits and continued fighting crime as Spider-Man.
Destruction
Peter's girlfriend Gwen Stacy suggested that Peter help her design a new suit that would make more of an impact in the photos that Peter agreed to take of Spider-Man for the Daily Bugle.

The upgraded suit was red and blue with black web lines all over it. The lenses in the mask were replaced with white one way mirror type lenses rimmed with black. Peter used the suit to fight crime and battle against Aleksei Sytsevich, Electro and Green Goblin. After Gwen's death, Peter discarded the suit but wore it again when battling the Rhino.
