Everytime I go on the train with Evie Jacob is sitting there and says
“is that what your wearing?”
Evie got that sass.
But then, when you are rocking threads like this, it is understandable!
I really love this outfit for Evie as a great example of how you can (particularly with modern animation technology) make fantastic and creative costume designs for female characters (even assassins) without dipping into the bikini armor or other "ridiculously sexualized” bins.

While unfortunately the article does take a focus on events over details of the characters, it’s important to note that all the games listed as positive changes are ones that avoid (at least mostly) the bikini armor trope. This isn’t coincidental.
The vast majority of the time the visual representation of your character is the first impression on the audience, and hence essentially their introduction. Characters hamstrung with an generic introduction of “well she’s sexy like a lingerie model and dresses like one too” are, at best, going to have fight an uphill battle to be taken seriously or seen as interesting in a long over-saturated marketplace.
If, however, you start with trying to make them interesting and let the visual grow as a reflection of the character – then you open yourself up to all kinds of possibilities.
