The [real world] game doesn't really worry about the details of [in-game] Eternum, and a lot of them make no sense if you examine them. The whole idea of a "neural implant" that is apparently installed overnight, by hand, on an outpatient basis, makes that pretty clear.
That said, if we wanted to justify the suits I think there are some potential explanations. It's possible the suit is assembled from multiple, adjustable components rather than being a single piece, and the basic implant package includes components for both males and females of various sizes. If the components are cheap enough to manufacture that might simplify logistics enough to justify the extra cost. Another possibility is that there's a secondary market for used suits (or even an official return policy) specifically to help new players get a proper fit, and the MC simply swapped the suit off screen. Essentially the neural implant is the crucial component and can't be resold, but the suits are more like cheap peripherals that can be linked to the implant as the user desires. And there's always the possibility the suits are sufficiently advanced nanotech that they can just reconfigure themselves as needed. This seems like a stretch given how the setting is presented (the characters are still shopping for mundane clothes, for example), but it is technically possible Ulysses' tech is just that much more advanced than the rest of the world.
