What's with the mesh chest piece in Ruy's design? What are her sleeves connected to?

Weiss is now...a fancy Jedi. That grey second layer looks like a Jedi coat to me, all shapeless and cinched at the waist with a little tie. What's with the darker blue not-belt underneath her actual belts?

Why is Blake in a one piece catsuit? ''How does she use the bathroom?! ''I feel sorry for anyone who wants to cosplay her now.

Yang's is probably the only one I'm okay with.

I dislike how they've completely changed everyone's character styles with this.

Ruby has gone from a bit of a goth lolita to straight up punk, losing any lolita she had and swapping her cuteness for a tomboy look. Even her alt outfit was more cute than tomboy, but now she's straight up tomboy.

Weiss has gone from practical princess with less layers but still fancy dress to weirdly Renaissance leg-o-mutton sleeves (named so because they look like a mutton, or lamb leg) and a super flairy skirt that's going to be a pain to animate properly, let alone actually fight in her dancy style. There's a reason figure skater's wear fitted clothes and their skirts are short.

Blake went from "Battle Butler" to "lets see how many cat puns we can shove on her!" From tuxedo cat (her tailcoat) to catsuit. She's even got a little belt around her neck like it's a collar. Also, really? A catsuit on the cat girl? Is she trying to be a walking stereotype?

Yang is the one I'm most okay with, like I said before, but even her style has changed. She's gone from cowgirl to farmgirl, which doesn't sound like that much of a difference...but it is. It's the difference between riding a fast stallion in the untamed lands as you travel between towns, seeing new things and meeting new people...and plodding along on a tractor in a paddock, alone, thinking about how much wheat you're going to pull in. It's boring. It's simple and not in the classic simplicity is good way. The most exciting thing about her is she has a bomber jackets...which turns her for a motorcyclist to a pilot. Again, completely different feels to the outfit. Not to mention anything remotely feminine is just gone now. I talked about Ruby being a tomboy now, but Yang's completely ditched the pretence of being a confident young woman and is just wearing whatever she throws on.

They can wear what they like, sure, and maybe I don't get their characters as well as the authors and designers do. But I do feel like they should have kept the same style and feel as the old outfits, rather than only the colours.
