Players can only get the various cosmetic upgrades by playing the game as Squadrons doesn't really allow any kind of micro-transactions in-game. To unlock the different cosmetic items, you will have to earn Glory points by playing matches and completing the daily challenges and leveling up your career level.

You will unlock a few skins by completing the single-player campaign and the fleet-battle tutorials, while others can be earned by participating in the competitive seasons known as "Operations".
