I don't think Harley's SS costume is inherently bad. The problem comes with Ayer's camera practically leering at her throughout the film. Hell, both SS and BOP had her in a wet t-shirt at one time. The male gaze argument does not necessarily have to do with costumes, but how the camera frames the actor. And a good example of that is Black Widow. Rewatching Iron Man 2 is kind of embarrassing.
The costume wouldnt be as bad if the "shorts" actually had some length to them and she wasn't in stilettos. They could've added an inch or two to the shorts and still look fine.
