Even when there's no demand for it to appeal sexually to the person who's being critical? You can have opinions about style when it's a choice made for a fictional character. If a real person is comfortable dressing like Vanya for example that's none of my business, but nothing about Umbrella Academy makes me think there's an interesting reason for the way she dresses any more than there is for the robot mom wearing some kind of bullshit Hot Topic nurse costume. It feels like they made Vanya as unfeminine as possible to accentuate her low self-esteem.

I wear non-fitted/men's clothes all the time, but clothes that are too big I don't get. They're not warm.

I haven't seen this canon at all, but if she has low self-esteem and wears huge baggy clothing ... that's actually fairly common, I think? Not to make her look more ugly (although I'll grant that could be the out-of-universe reason), but because big baggy clothes make it easier to feel like you're hiding. They're a defense. Also, if the self-esteem issue comes with anxiety, bigger, baggier clothes mean lots of fabric to twist/play with/tear when you're feeling uncomfortable. So there could be in-character reasons for those style choices.

Yeah, non-fitted/men's stuff I totally understand, because that can be comfortable. But stuff that's too big? It's just awkward and uncomfortable and all of that extra fabric gets in the way and you have to constantly adjust it to keep it from sliding around and ugh.
