The shapes, the colour patterns and even the battle damage are all very reminiscent of Qrow's look in Volume 3. All I'm saying is this: In RWBY, costumes tend to matter in some way or another; everything tends to have a subtext in some form. There is going to be a significance in how Ruby's look has changed beyond the obvious. It is similar, but I think that says less about her relation to Qrow and more the effect the outside world has on Huntsmen. What was once her clean, well maintained cape handed from her mother has become tattered, and her old outfit has probably sustained worse damage, requiring a change. That said, Qrow has mainted his original clothes quite well, alcohol stains not withstanding.
