Something that looks like it is battle ready like Thancred and Y'shtola.

Thancred, Y'shtola & the twins are dressed more in line with the Shire tome gear than the street wear we're getting. Honestly its not that I don't like it as much as its a little plain for me.
I've got no real beef with the girl version, its asymmetrical skirt/tights are cute. But the dudes' regular ol jacket + pants combo looks a bit boring imo. If the top had coat tails or was asymmetrical I think I'd like it more.
Honestly, if you think about how Tataru is basing her outfit design then people can notice Tataru's designs are actually base on Sharlayan Society design. Y'shtola was made to suite her theme of being a Mage and the Twins followed more to travel researcher gear from Sharlayan.
Sharlayan Society is largely based on Academic theme so the basic gear design goes into more School theme appearance, Mage, and researcher of different cultures. Heck i would not be surprised if Sharlayan has a High School Combat Academy that uses outfit design close to this once we can enter Sharlayan.
Thancred, however, is not one of tataru's design thus he was given a more thief looking gear from a traveling merchant if you recall his Nutkin incident.
Yeah, all her designs prior to the WoL's fit the Shire look, which I imagine are based on/inspired by Sharlayan fashion. The healer top is pretty much a unisex, dyable Y'shtola substitute.
I understand SE needed something generic enough to fit any potential job a player uses, but what I'm trying to get at is that the design we're getting lacks the bells and whistles that other Sharlayan inspired clothes have.
I just don't want any of this outfit to be re-colored gear that we already have.
Guess it is just based on preference when it comes to the outfit.
I am more use to this type of outfit in character design since game like the Legend of Heroes series have characters wear similar kind of outfit style in combat.

It just stands out to me, like "one of these is not like the others". Even in your 2nd and 3rd examples, the more ordinary clothes have bits of fantasy elements tacked on (cloaks, shoulder pads, side-skirt flaps etc). Tataru's WoL set is just lacking that little pinch of fantasy imo.
But in the end, I don't hate the designs or anything. I wish they had a smidge more oomf overall, but still plan on using bits of the set :)
For Alphinaud and Alisae's design, we can't really deny that their current designs are by far better than what they wore for 2.0
Alisae's design completely made me awe.... except that color cringes me is all.
I hope we get the replica outfit of that in a dyable color version considering we are getting Krile's outfit soon.
SPOILERS: Here is the outfit.
OP was right, so kudos to them. :p

I personally love it. I'm totally using that for my RDM glam. :D
Well, it already got answered. Thancred's outfit wasn't designed by Tataru while Y'shota's looks pretty caster-ish. They needed to put an universal outfit to designate the WoL.
I like it. However, in order to address other people's concerns, it would be nice to see these outfits being used by different races.
