You're looking for an out-of-universe meaning, correct? Symbology of the filmmaking? Or an in-universe explanation for her different fashion tastes? Or not. It's a sexy, utilitarian-looking fashion. Fashion is more geared towards a real woman now. According to "The Matrix" lore , the Wachowski siblings Lana and Lilly, who transitioned in the s, originally wrote the character of Switch as gender fluid: played by a male actor in reality and a female actor in the Matrix.
Ultimately, the exploration of gender identity was pared down, possibly due to studio influence, and Switch was played by one actress, Belinda McCrory below. She dressed in an all-white leather suit in the Matrix to "illuminate" Switch's role as the guard of the crew. Barrett intentionally designed gender neutral suiting silhouettes for a "subconscious" and not "banging you over the head" aesthetic.
I just wanted [McCrory] to look good and feel confident. To help Neo sartorially channel "The One" in his duster-length wool coat, Barrett looked a mix of cultures and religions around the globe, starting with Japanese Samurai and 18th century Chinese warriors in the vein of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Barrett also incorporated influences of "cassocks" worn by clergy leaders in various Western religions. The coat gives the audience a visual feeling that Neo has gone from being the confused acolyte into taking on his power. While it doesn't relate to one religion or culture, I wanted it to feel like a special thing you take upon yourself when you are ready to start the quest.
Barrett also says "a lot of really big fans" and the perfect lightweight wool blend helped create the now-iconic billowing effect of Neo's coat in the Bullet Time sequence. In the famed Bullet Time sequence — which popularized use of the slo-mo, degree filming technique, now utilized each red carpet season by the E!
GlamCam — Neo also unveils the full glory of his buckle-up knee-high combat boots. Because of so many foot close-ups, especially in the fight-sequences, shopped footwear was out of the question. Secondly and, most importantly, the buckle-feature speaks to sustainability and reuse. They had to be utilitarian.
