Perhaps you mean this dialog in his very first quest when he put his armor on.You changed out of your rags. Where did you get that armor?
"I did not pull it from the bones of my fallen brothers and sisters, if that is your concern. I found a cache of supplies and saw fit to equip myself.
But I do not wish to stick out like a broken claw in my travels. What do you think of it?"
It looks good. You'll fit right in.
"Var, var! Such kind words. Function is more important, of course, but what Khajiit does not like to present a sleek and pleasing form?
This is not quite what we wore during my order's time, but it will do well enough to protect me."
I think we could find you something better to wear.
"Ah, I was afraid you would say that. I suppose it must appear antiquated. But it will serve well enough for now.
When we find the time, perhaps you can assist me in finding armor more appropriate to this era."
I can confirm that your choice will not change nothing, Zerith appearance will be the same, it is just RP option.

Isn't there a version where he wears a robe rather than the armor? At least I see it frequently. And it also looks as if Zerit-var has a different hair dress?

If you mean this, then that version appears during A Moonlit Shadow. You see him following other players that are doing the same quest.

Isn't this just his default armor style in light? I don't recognize it but I'm not sure I've ever put light armor on Zerith. All the companion default styles have different looks depending on whether they're wearing light, medium or heavy armor.
