I think as long as it fits from a story standpoint I'm ok with it.
Kitana: an assassin has to dress lightly but can still wear clothes, so there is no reason for her to run around half naked.
Jade: as an assassin/bodyguard she needs to wear something that could stop a sword.
Mileena: it kinda makes sense if you take into account a previous post that points out how SHAO Kahn is a womaniser and if she's supposed to be the "perfect" kitana. With SHAO Kahn dead and her whole rebel leader thing, it makes sense she would wear more battle ready clothes but due to her past she would have at least slightly more revealing outfits than kitana.
Skarlet: it makes complete sense and even benefits her as she absorbs blood to become more powerful.
Sindel: as the queen she should dress like her mkx counterpart, at least given the whole "fight to the death idea" she needs to be combat ready.
Sf girls: this one is stupid as special forces kinda needs armour even more than the others because they're only humans with no special abilities at all.
Frost: is a Lin kuei and does wear a bit of armour. She may be high ranking in the clan as she wears similar armour to sub zero, which is completely different from the super armoured generic members and sub zero knows her name and I don't think he's one of those super friendly bosses.
Tanya:'s is justified as she does flips and cartwheels and other acrobatic things constantly and still wears a decent amount, at least compared to other edenians, and her random white eyes that have no point in the story (at least the new story as she was a disciple of shinnok in the original timeline) means she may be a super edinian.
Li mei: is just a normal person from what we know in the new timeline and is dressed in villager attire.
Sareena: is a demon who wants to look pretty. Simples.
Sheeva: shokan barely wear anything apparently but i suppose it might be ok considering the shoot and breath fire it makes sense they would evolve to have though skin.
Khameleon: I have no clue, they are supposed to be Saturnian but look nothing like reptile. Given regeneration and scales it is semi justified.
Nitara: scantly clad vampire. Could be immortal.
Ashara: is the same as sareena, a demon.
Kira: is a mercenary and may be wearing Kevlar but still it's not much.
Kitana: an assassin has to dress lightly but can still wear clothes, so there is no reason for her to run around half naked.
