Supergirl Season 5 introduces a new Supergirl suit which eschews the skirt seen in the older suit in favour of a full pant. Benoist and the showrunners said giving Supergirl pants was something they discussed since the first season. The character Brainy is credited with creating a new microscopic motion-activator for the new suit that attaches to Kara’s glasses and unleashes the suit when she whips off the glasses.
