Buffy always knew the importance of wearing the proper clothing for Slaying!.
Buffy was also never afraid to push that fashion envelope sometimes with disastrous results but I wouldn’t count her S8 appearances in the same category as the pink leather trousers or the mom’s curtains minidress let alone the whole Jackie O phase she went through in S3. She’s more Lara Croft than Private Benjamin but without the gratuitous skin exposure and improbable breasts.
Over the years she’s generally gone for less girly styles and has always been able to carry off androgony perfectly well (I though she looked great in her Helpless dungarees). Also until the later parts of S7 she generally fought one foe at a time and only once commanded an army. Girly was probably an ideologically sound choice going up against the entity that created Caleb but the lack of protection not only allowed a near fatal back stabbing but got Amanda and others killed. My Buffy would take that pretty seriously, her fashion choices aren’t just all about her any more.
