    Yes
    I always find it kind of amusing when people say things like "There will be naked people everywhere then" or that it will be immersion breaking if people are allowed to hide multiple pieces of armour. Same thing was said about being able to dye and make outfits. There would be pink weapons everywhere! Which was a silly complaint for a time when max level characters was forced to have rubedite weapons. That extremely shiny and bright red metal. Most people used the dye feature to give their weapons a less extreme colour.

    We can't even be naked in the game. We all got painted on underwear, which people can and do show anyway now if they want to. Several styles and costumes are also as minimal as the underwear.

    Things like this aren't even unique to ESO but happens in many mmos that got or want similar things. Many years ago I played the mmo Age of Conan, it was amazing for its time with being a mature rated mmo with voiced characters etc, and like many mmos it didn't come with an Outfit, Transmogrification, Glamours or whatever you want to call them, it got added later. Which to this day still remains my favourite version of cosmetic look change to one's armour.
    How it worked there was that on the gear equipment menu, there was a second tab added, which was were you put the cosmetic look for your gear. So as long you could wear it you could use it. Every slot also had a checkmark which was for hiding that part, and yes you could hide every piece if you wanted. Which in AoC was a bit different from other mmos because female characters didn't have painted on bras, so you all can imagine it was popular to show more skin in that game.
    But, even though it was possible to run around in full gear but showing nothing but a tiny thong and it was certainly people who did, they weren't that many and it was pretty much the same people who did that before the cosmetic feature was added.

    Most people used the feature to make the look they had always wanted possible. A barechested barbarian, a necromancer only wearing a robe they got at low lvl which was useless now, someone wanting to look like they wore commoner or nobles clothes etc. The list goes on.

    This cosmetic feature always gets some people worried or at least speak against it, despite the feature always adding more character customisation that adds to immersion and cosmetic options. In my book, someone being barechested, or not wearing gloves, boots or whatnot is a lot more immersive and less of an eyesore than people wearing the oddest of styles and dyeing them in the brightest and most saturated dyes there is. Along with all the strange skins, polymorphs and whatnot.
