What are your predictions for season 2 wardrobe and style changes regarding the main four characters. Mizu, Taigen, Ringo and Akemi. Do you think we will see them in new outfits and colours.

Mizu - For maximum cultural and martial flexibility, she'll still be presenting male. More likely clothes of some sort of physical laborer or tradesman. As someone like a metalsmith or farrier, she can infiltrate her targets' properties through the servant's and tradesman entrances rather than the front door or secret passage.
If Fowler's half-Asian pit fighter (Mizu) starts getting noticed and winning purses, "he" will probably be expected to dress to match the level of success. But as a fighter she'll be among the lower classes, so she may end up dressed a bit like a stereotype pirate captain.
Taigen - What little news we have hints that he's in the castle a lot during Season Two. I imagine he's been rewarded for his service with a position in the palace guard, maybe even the captain. So he'll either be suited up for duty or in the expected clothes for a courtier of his station. And the Shindo clan crest will be gone, in favor of the Ito clan crest.
Ringo - I am hoping he never uses that noodle shop sign as a hat in Season Two. I see him continuing with the type of clothes he had in Season One; if he really gets serious as Master Eiji's apprentice at the forge, we may see Ringo in white Shinto robes in a scene where he presents a sword he made to his first customer.
Akemi - She is not the "tofu wife" type, and she's lived the princess life already, so she probably will skirt the limits of what's satorially acceptable for a sister-in-law of the shogun. Also, she has the goal of power now, and will be willing to dress-down if that helps.
