Need more practical female clothing.
Fantasy character portraits

I've noticed in the fantasy or apocalyptic style clothing for females, everything comes with a "panty" instead of pants or other practical bottoms. Who goes into battle in a medieval or apocalyptic setting in their underwear? Even the everyday clothing is geared more toward flashy and sexy. It's hard to find plain, ordinary clothing for women.

Vendor DogZ makes practical clothing for women, but the selection is limited.
check out Wilmap's Digital Creations she's in the freebie section; her site has some great items. All free, but well worth donating for.
Here are some that might work for you.
Post-Apocalyptic
Rough Rider for G3F
Apocalyptica
Nomad for G3M and G3F
Urban Survivors HD for G2M and G2F
Luthbel in particular has a bunch of clothing items that aren't all about showing off skin.
Fantasy
Ranger Outfit for G2F
Shieldmaiden for G2F
At the same time, is it practical to expect that every battle is planned for in advance? I mean, it honestly doesn't make sense, to me, for people not directly on guard duty in a camp to be in full armor when not expecting a battle. The same is true in a post apocalyptic setting; a sudden attack on the camp shouldn't have every female clad in fully protective garments, and at later points after, full garments would be the exception, rather than the norm.
Expecting gnats and midges would be enough to discourage a lot of the outfits being regarded as impractical.
True, but you need to consider availability of materials to make clothing and shelters amd prioritize which is most important in such a scenario.
It is reasonable to expect that most people will be fully clothed (though not in fully protective garments) most of the time. By the standards of most societies, most of the "outfits" we complain about do not qualify.
I agree, for perhaps the first decade or so after a disaster so widespread that governments cannot cope with the scale to the point they collapse.
