Situational appearance customization

First with a quick question: Is there a specific forum that we should use for content suggestions and ideas? I saw the feedback and suggestions forum under Public Test Server, but that seems specific to experiences on the PTS. Please feel free to move my post to the necessary forum if need be.
Now for my suggestion. With the upcoming introduction of dyes, I got to thinking about situational appearances. There are many times when I find it more "appropriate" to remove my helm, such as when I am in a city, or when I am working on my crafts. Other times a costume fits the situation better than your currently equipped armor. I thought it would be neat to have the ability to customize our cosmetic appearance (face and body) to fit certain situations, and save those settings to something we can actively switch, like our title.
For instance: When in battle, perhaps I wish to use war paints to intimidate my opponents. While in a major trade city, however, war paint hardly seems appropriate. I would likely remove my head equipment, and make myself more presentable. I might even wish to alter my emotional appearance to fit a specific setting. Smile more while in a tavern, or squint my eyes while in day light. Put my hair up for a fight, or wear a head accessory that better identifies my allegiance.
Most people (that I have seen, anyway) suggest having the ability to change our appearance post-creation. I want the ability to change my appearance depending on the room I enter. I am certainly not suggesting drastic changes such as race or actual body composition, and I think limiting the number of appearances would certainly be a good thing. I simply wish to change my hair, makeup (face and body), facial expressions, and head accessories like earings. This obviously appeals more to roleplayers, but I think a lot of people would make use of it.
Thoughts?
