I wasn't trying to say that it would give her any disadvantage in running; what I meant was that if she had to run, which it seems is something she's gotta do relatively often, it would be a disadvantage to have her legs uncoverded like that, because she might fall down, might have to hide in/run through tight spots, climb over a fence or something like that, and therefor has a greater risk of injuring her legs like that.
About the weather. First of, pretty much everybody else dresses like it isn't exactly warm outside (long pants and most people also have long sleeves), at least not warm enough for such short shorts, so it is quite unlike that DmC takes place during summer, when shorts like Kat's would be appropriate. The coat Vergil wears looks a lot like the winter coats that are popular these days, and generally like something that keeps you quite warm, making it look more like something you'd wear during fall or winter. And even if you look at the rest of Kat's outfit - boots, thick socks, long sleeves, all things you're more likely to wear during fall or winter - it gives the impression that it really can't be all that warm, making the short shorts just seem out of place to me.
Also, during the last fight with Vergil - which does take place in the real world - it starts snowing.

All of that is pretty normal clothes, it's more to do with their hair and I don't see a douche in the second one.But on a serious note this is what a douchebag dresses like.
Okay maybe not that serious.

Ok. So NONE of you make any sense on the subject of dressing like a douchebag.
A douchebag dresses LOUD with ignorance being the emphasis of their clothing or tattoos. Here's what I mean.
So when you point out someone who dresses differently with no intention of being unpleasant to society or "speaking negatively without words", you yourself are the ignorant one.

Okay boys, calm down for a second with all this talk about what a proper douche is.
THIS is a douche:

Well.....technically it's a box that contains a douche. You know what I mean.
SO, unless someone is dressed like this:
http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100311001940/southpark/images/9/9b/DoucheandTurd13.jpg
they do not look like a douche.
Now that that is settled.
While I don't really care for the character designs in DmC, I think they did a good job modernizing Dante and Vergil's classic looks. Though I would have liked Dante's coat to have more red.

Hey man, leather is inherently cool; Blade, Eric Draven, Shang Tsung, Morpheus, Spike, Angel, etc.
DMC3 Dante was just....wat. DMC3 was probably the worst in the series in terms of aesthetics, it's all just so anime, even the DT looks garbage lol.
I just realised something horrifying. I used to have a black leather duster with red lining, which I used to wear with black jeans and and my issue boots.... I was basically Donte
I feel bad...

Dante: pretty alright, not too phenomenal but good
Vergil: Just kinda weird. That wide jaw just doesnt suit him and neither does that comb over. I dont even nned to mention his outfit
Kat: Again very average and alright
Mundus: DISGUSTING!!!! He has been made to look like some sort of king pin look alike. Whereas I always thought of his as a more kingly figure like maybe Twin lannister from Game of thrones. But his demon form is what really dissapointed me. It had no design at all, just a massive blob of cars and roads. That is not what a demon king looks like. Just a nude fate guy in the middle of demonic debris!!!
Lilith: As ugly as she looked, she almost perfectly portrayed her characterstics through her looks.

Personally, I like them all. Dante's design does fit with today's looks but at the same time making look poor and trashy. Kat's design is pretty much the typical young girl wearing sweatshirt and shorts thing. Mundus as Kyle Rider is your typical businessman except with a third-eye scar and blind eye. Lilith, oh man, she looks nasty and they definitely made sure she looked nasty in every way. Vergil has that pompous thing going on with him and considering pea-coats and such are popular nowadays, it does given him that modern, "I want to look classy" look.
Vergil's a wannabe badass. Shinjiro pulls off the coat much better. He's a drug addict too, but for a reason - he's trying to control his Persona from rampaging.
Still, for Dante, I kind of wished they went with the other concepts.
The bearded one with the shotgun and mohawk has concepts of Dante being sort of a boxer and it would tie well with Dante trying to survive without a proper job. The downside is that people would call it generic and any attempts to give an underground fighter image might be called as a Fight Club ripoff. It'd be generic since it's the typical, bearded, gruff-looking protagonist found in many of this generation and the past generation's games. Done right though, it could be an interesting concept. The other issue is that Dante looks really old even compared to DMC2 Dante. It might work for a future DmC game, but not for an origin story unless it's a late origin. Also, we could do more with shirtless men running around. I mean, why do all the men have to wear fully covering clothes and women run in chain-mail bikinis in games? We need more male eye-candy.
The demon with the horns and blood arm-blades though, looks wicked. It also looks like Dante has dreads. That said, it gives Dante a vampiric look to him along with a Satan/Lucifer look to him. It could really enforce the idea that not all demons are evil. Since if Dante looks that twisted and menacing but ends up being our hero. What are we to say about that? He looks evil, but can we really judge him on his appearance? Nice idea in my opinion.
On the right page, we have the Witcher. No, seriously, it has that vibe coming off especially considering the placement of the sword and hair style. Also, the facial structure looks like Hellboy's. To me, this seems like the early idea of Ninja Theory when they were trying to make DmC more closer to DMC. That is, make it have the gothic demon hunter feeling but giving it more of twist by placing it in a more gothic fantasy setting rather than the modern setting DMC and DmC have. The above two also seem to be more rooted to DMC than when Capcom said make it even more different which is what the one with Dante having shaggy hair and the star on shirt seems to be. He has a rebel look to him rather than a rocker and punk look.
Still, the design fits, but if there's ever another DMC spin-off, reboot, etc., or they need to introduce a new character, I'd like to see some of these concepts make it in.
Edit: Whoops, forgot about this sweet image. If DmC Dante was a woman. Hell yes.

We've only seen her have to ever run once throughout the game.
As for the snowing bit near the end. That was when Limbo and the real world merged together. Also Dante and Vergil's battle might have affected it because not long after they start fighting dozens of lighting bolts starts striking the same place multiple times in their little arena sometimes literally a few feet away from them but very rarely anywhere else in the area.

I am sooooooooooooooooooo glad they didn't go with that thing on the left. Le edgy Baphomet t-shirt, and are those bandages on his wrists? Bloody hell....Personally, I like them all.

Dante: like some guy from twilight
Vergil: a bit weird (but his hat is cool)
Kat: pretty cool
Mundus: an angry boss of some random company
Lilith: just...just no

Y'know, we've also only ever seen one Hunter in the game, yet we know that there are others :/ It seriously doesn't matter how often she had to run in the game, but how often she probably has to run in general, which, due to her having to create Limbo gateways with her graffity, could be relatively often.
The snow might or might not be an effect of Limbo. So, for the sake of simplicity, let's just assume it was, then the short shorts still don't really make sense with the rest of her outfit or compared to Vergil and Dante running around in much warmer clothing.
I'd give some more glamorous clothes to Lilith, nothing really nice looking, but that pink plastic dress was kinda odd, like, she kinda gave the impression to me of being a woman who enjoys luxurious goods. But then again that might defeat the purpose of her design...

Yeah, it just doesn't fit Dante, Vergil, even Nero, or anyone in the DMC series for that matter. It could work for another, new character if Capcom decides to introduce a new character. So, maybe a previous Nephilim in the DmC universe, a whole entirely different and unrelated demon hunter, or a spin off of DMC where it's a game about a demon hunter and they want a new character. The one thing that stands out is the facial structure resembles the design they went with for DmC Dante.
The other designs would have worked perfectly. The boxer one, like I said, just gives Dante a brawler, survivor, and underground look. The one with horns would work if they wanted Dante to be even more a demonic and the Hellboy-Witcher look could work for a more fantasy-based DMC or a whole new franchise entirely.

I thought that looked like an updated version of the DMC2 outfit.

The concepts on the bottom right page, yeah, I can see that since Dante's outfit in DMC2 had a leather breastplate-vest thing going on.
The ones above that image and the hair style concepts and Dante's pose just looks like Geralt's art from The Witcher 2. The leather belts and straps; scabbard placement, sash, and vest gives Dante a sort of fantasy look. While his Converse-like shoes or boots, Ebony & Ivory, and some of the pants - one of them looks like jeans - gives Dante a modern look. So, it's a weird fusion of modern and medieval-renaissance fashion kind of like how Samurai Champloo was anachronistic.
It doesn't help that both Dante and Geralt have white hair, use large swords, and fight mythical beasts while having a badass character.
And for reference, here's Hellboy's face or facial structure to compare. Sorry for the large images even though they're "medium" on Google.

Last time I checked, Edward never wore a heavy leather coat with jeans and combat boots and a tank top, and Dante never wore some cardigan with khaki pants and designer shoes.

She has a car you know :/ . And I don't see any real reason why Vergil would send her some where on foot, when she's at her slowest and most vulnerable, without a quick means of escape.
As for Dante and Vergil, they have been shown to take on horde upon hordes of demons without breaking a sweat. I doubt they are very much affected by the weather.
