This is true of many characters, animated and otherwise. I think its done to
inprove reconition of key people from one episode to the next.
    I do recall seeing Misato in at least three other outfits. A dress while
at the bar with Kagi, a full uniform once for work at Nerve, and t-shirt
with shorts to guzzle beer for breakfast.
    Auska wears a couple different outfits throughout the series.
    Rei, Shingi, Gendo, Retsui, Kagi, and the rest seem to have very small
clothe closets though!
