Will there be any new clothes on release? The suits are kinda disappointing, I imagine it's placeholders for now, but wasn't sure.

I'm now interested: which of the current [contemporary] cultures you think can get away with a dress or cultural clothing that isn't the suit? As I find the contemporary homogony of suits okay, under the assumption it's the end result of suits being a cultural standard for leaders in the contemporary era.

Well Soviets I expected some furry hats and large coats for sure.

Turks I'd say could use something more traditional, maybe less modern but something to tell them apart from all the suits.

India same thing. Like, google India's politicians, they're not wearing suits, more colorful vests instead.

Japan is a bit odd, I know for men suits are omnipresent, but for women not so much. I don't know how much the game wants to keep clothing unisex or if they do any gendered clothing, but a dress with maybe a hair pin or something could be good, then again hair is a bit hard to do so maybe not, I dunno.

As for the rest, you could do some more extravagant suits, like instead of the same color you could change them a bit, have a different tie, have a pin or something.

When I first opened a menu I expected some Uncle Sam level of extravagance when I was checking out America.  I know the game is trying to be a bit more serious than that, but still, you can do more than just standard black suits with a flag on it.

As long as you don't give the US the controversial tan suit. ;P

I would be ok with this if the suits chosen actually have some sort of significance for the countries chosen. The suits for most leaders seem just different coloured for the sake of being distinguishable from others, with no political/historical context. Would like to see a devs input on their decision behind each suit tbh, bc from the outside looking in without any context, it just looks like the suits were chosen because they "feel right" or something similar.

A few suggestions to break the uniformity:
Chinese:
Mao Suits

Indians/Turks/Egyptians:

Kurta Suits

Soviets:

Adding a winter cape over the regular suit and a mariner hat (probably unlikely since there's no hat in any other culture)

But there could be a hat! One of the Twitch guys has one! And hats are awesome. They would add a lot to the cultural outfits, I think.

I would be 100% okay with this.

Very good idea. It seems almost insulting that the devs couldn't come up with this.
