Favorite Armor Sets for Aesthetic reasons

[Malignanttoe]

As long as this is an armor thread, is there any armor that looks more or less like normal clothes?
I don't want my character to look like an armored warrior, but I want him to have an armor rating and the Mage Armor spells are a little tedious to deal with, mostly in ambush situations.

I find the forsworn armor on females quite appealing.

Fur armor, maybe? XD You could also try combining boots and bracers with clothes for a bit of armor rating.
Oh, and if you have Dawnguard the Vampire Armor is light armor that looks like robes. No head armor with it, but all 3 colours of the main armor and the boots are easily obtainable by slaying the vampires that regularly attack the hold capitals. If you join up with Lord Harkon you can also get vampire guantlets from the smith in the castle.

Not sure if all that's your style, but I thought all the vampire armor with a shrouded cowl looked quite epic while not looking too armored.

I'm actually not a fan of Vampire Armor because it looks like robes lol.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Dawnguard Heavy armor of course. Or, this helmet with steel plate armor.

You'd do Farkas proud.

Yes, the look on his face when he watches me... is... interesting.

Well then.

I like to use the Ancient Nord Helmet or the Steel Horned Helmet and Steel Imperial Bracers with almost any heavy body armor.

No shame those are funny.

I like the Ancient Nord armor because it's quite cute on the female characters BUT I don't use it because it just isn't practical - too much exposed skin! So I use the Blades armor - it has blue in it which is quite pretty - and I LOVE the helmet, it has very good craftsmanship.

I put all my followers in full ebony armor.

It has a crown, but I forget how to get it.

To get the "Matching Set" perk, an Elven helmet completes the set.

I actually really like the look of the Vampire Armor.

I know that "armour" is a valid spelling in many places, but my American brain always reads it as "ar-moor." LOL

Anyways, my current favorite is the ebony mail that you get from Boethia's quest. I've paired it with a wrap hood from some mod... I think it's some sort of ranger armor but I'd have to double check to know for sure.
