As far as light armor looking good on female characters, Nightingale armor is probably my favorite.

I have it on my male Kahjiit and it's soooooo sick!! However I miss my Thieves Guild armor enchantments

I liked the TG enchants as well, but I'm more pleased with the aesthetic. Besides, after a while the enchantments almost don't matter. I play with a character personality in mind, so the aesthetic is definitely more important to me.

I prefer the wolf/bear skin and vagabond combinations...very 'Lords of the North.'

I always feel like my Dragonborn has become Batman when they put on the Nightingale Armor.

I love the Nightingale Armor, but the Ancient Shrouded Armor & the Thieves Guild Armors are good too......

It's pretty awesome, but the cowl freaks me out sometimes. :D I personally like the cape, it makes it feel kinda mysterious. More mysterious than it would without the cape. :p

The Wolf Armor is awesome Heavy Armor, lighter than some Light Armor sets, with great stats too. That armor is the only reason I ever put points into HA instead of LA. Although, I rarely create a character for HA, as I am more of an Archer-Sneaky role player....
