Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Before Kara uses her heat vision against Vartox she gets some dust on her suit, then she stands up and the dust is gone.

Livewire - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Livewire has part of her hair over the front of her right shoulder. A shot later after discovering her powers suddenly her hair's over the front of both shoulders.

Human for a Day - S1-E7

Character mistake: When Kara breaks her arm, she says that she doesn't need to go to a hospital because the bone will heal when her powers return. She would still need a splint or a cast to ensure that the bone sets in place properly; leaving it untreated runs the risk of a physical deformity or other unforeseen complications down the road.

Solitude - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When Alex brings donuts to try to convince Kara to come back to the D.E.O., Kara picks up 2 donuts which suddenly change to 1 once she sits down, and then back to 2 a few shots later in a wide shot.

THGhost

Manhunter - S1-E17

Factual error: The Marine Colonel in Supergirl played by Eddie McClintock spends all of his time wearing Marine Officer's Dress Blue Bravos. Marine Dress Blues are ceremonial uniforms. On rare occasions, the Charlies or Deltas (no coat) may be worn as a work uniforms (the primary exception to this rareness being recruiters). The full uniform is certainly not worn for day to day work in the field.

Prince Ly Squisher

Survivors - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When J'onn J'onzz is fighting Miss Martian in the ring, she punches him into a wall, leaving a massive dent. She missed the next punch, and the plaster on the right hand side of the dent falls out, but the plaster on the left is fine. Miss Martian then throws J'onn across the room, and in the background, the dent is visible, but it is now the left hand side of the dent where the plastering is missing and the plastering on the right is now mostly in place.

Casual Person

Changing - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Mike and Kara are in the alien bar in the both talking about Mike not controlling his powers. When Mike breaks the glass there is no other glass on the table. In the next shot a glass appears at the edge of the table, in the next shot the glass is gone again. (00:03:30)

Medusa - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: Maggie comes to Alex's apartment with pizza. When Alex opens and closes the pizza box, she folds the pizza box edges in and 3 shots later the edges are outside of the box.

Midvale - S3-E6

Kara: If you're so worried about my driving, why didn't you say anything yesterday?
Alex: Because yesterday, getting into an accident didn't seem like a big deal. Today, I would like to avoid it.
Kara: Progress.

Answer: Another part of why the change was that it's cold in Canada in the winter and the old costume didn't protect her from it, whereas the new one is nice and warm.

Answer: I can't say for certain, so I'm surmising that the change was to "catch up" with the other Arrowverse shows, particularly Arrow and The Flash, whose lead characters have undergone various upgrades and redesigns of their superhero suits over the years; after four seasons, Kara's probably just felt a little stale. And I believe the change in hairstyle was Melissa Benoist's personal decision and had nothing to do with the character.
