They design them at beacon (or any other school of the same grade levels) and their only wearing them now so that everyone will see them as more mature and capable of handling the up coming war. Blake and Yang's current outfits seem more teenager-ish while their new outfits seem much more professional (from what we saw in the trailer). As for Ruby and Weiss their current outfits aren't that bad but there is always room for improvement.

But Ozpin mentions that while at Beacon, the first person they make eye contact with will be their partner for the next four years. This could mean that Beacon is a four year school, so I don't think they are graduating yet.
