For example Alice in resident evil 5 when she arrives to “Arcadia” she is wearing a canvas army coat with tattered fur on the hood, what style of clothing would that fit into? Also the clothes Chris and Claire Redfield wear are pretty cool, thing is i would never know how to put together a bad ass clothing outfit/ or costume.

All the clothes worn in those movies were inspired by designs from the original Resident Evil game. In it, there is a hodge-podge of different japanese interpretation of western styles ranging from harijuku girls to contemporary soldier wear. If you were hard pressed to define one style, the common thread is, in fact, “manga-inspired” design, as it is not uncommon for japanese manga to completely disregard chronological consistency in fashion…especially when it comes to western wear since they lack the context.
If you want to go even further to cite the specific style of manga that demonstrates this, you can check out Yoshitaka Amano and Hironobu Sakaguchi. They are the artists who created the contextual world and give creative direction to “gothic manga” style.
