Well may be most FN girls wear that type of clothing because the FN expects to strictly control its youth, as seen in "The Headband". If they won't even allow children to dance, it isn't hard to believe that the nation would be conservative enough to generally deem it more proper for FN girls wear Toph's less revealing style of clothing, despite their living in the tropics. Women in the military would experience more action, and therefore would have a greater need to keep cool, which is probably why they are allowed to wear the clothing that they do. I hardly believe that the FN is supposed to be very socially liberal on the subject of feminism (probably the opposite), and probably only allows females in the military to swell the military's numbers - a product of its century-long militaristic nature, not any freedom-loving tendencies
