What armor styles do you use?

Interested in what armors Tamriel likes running around in. Please comment on which are your favorites!

I use a motif that is different from the original 10

I really like Mercenary, Imperial, Dunmer, Abah's Watch and now Ra Gada

Armor? COSTUMES are where it's at!

I can change costumes without any change in stats or set bonuses. Plus I like how well they dye.

I have used Outlaw, Glass, Nord and Daedric motifs in my armor and weapons.

My armour is a mix.

Mostly Mercenary Light (trench coat!), with Dunmer belt (for the logo) and Molag Kena helm/shoulders.

I use costumes when doing different content though, like Thieves for stealing, DB for assassination.

My khajiit stamblade runs mostly Mercenary medium, with breton medium shoulders and khajiit medium helm. Redguard great sword and khajiit bow.

My khajiit magdk wears all ancient elf light armor with an ancient elf Inferno/lightning/resto staff. Was going for the mage look there.

My future khajiit warden will be in all heavy armor. Right now i'm thinking mostly nord armor, with either the Malacath or Mercenary legs (they have a half-robe battlemage look to them), and possibly a helmet that looks like a wolf, lion, or bear head if I can find it. He'll use a mace and shield on one bar, Mace will probably be either soulshriven, Mercenary, bosmer, barbaric, or mazzatun - basically the wood club style or morning star style maces. Shield I'm undecided on. His off bar will be a frost staff, probably skinchanger style for the stag antlers.
Overall going for a heavy druid/shaman look for him.

Most of my characters use their racial style, but my Nord Dragonknight uses Pact armor and my Imperial Templar uses Order of the Hour.

On medium armor I wear Xyvkin, on light I prefer Yokudan, but atm I'm in love with this costume

Armor? COSTUMES are where it's at!

Emperor's Regalia; it's boss. Love running around zone's in it.

MythicEmperor

Armor? COSTUMES are where it's at!

I use crafted armor (Grim Harlequin, Dunmer, Xivkyn) for some occasions, and costumes for others.

I keep my Nord bare chested with the Colovian Filigreed Hood and Bathers Towel from the last festival. I really like the costume system but wouldn't mind if they added many more options. Especially just a simple set of Nord armor or Dwemer armor would be cool. It could almost be like an achievement. Once you learn the style for crafting or purchase in the store, you can use that light/medium/heavy armor as a costume and dye it. That'd be pretty nice...correct me if it's already a thing lol

Dwemer style with Engine Guardian set - I look good in this set up if I do say so myself

The poll should have been multiple choices listing grouped options imo... too many people use combinations of new and old.

You could list all of the styles leading up to Orsinium, and then list them per DLC they came with.

(So all until daedric I think); and then Orisnium, IC, TG, DB, etc... The resulting & would give you a much better idea...

MightyBantam34

I'd love to use a style motif as order of the hour and Minotaur are my favourite but with drops sets vital for my builds I'm stuck with costumes

Jaeysa

I use a healthy mix of different styles on one character.

My main is a mix of Akaviri, argonian and imperial.
My second is all hollowjack.
My third is order of the hour, dwemer, imperial.

I would have, but unfortunately there is a 10 option cap. There were ten original styles (three for each alliance plus imperial), so I would have run out of options fast!

If I run a crafted set then EP curiass is my main thing

I suppose I could just have easily gone with "COSTUMES are where it's at!". My characters start with costumes until I start leveling them and trying different looks. I usually find their style and dial it in by the time they get to lvl 50. I try to make their style (and colors) match their personality and skill sets, but occasionally the costume just gets too ingrained in the character. I have a female Orc stam sorc, and while I love her armor styles (Malacath/Ashlander), she just doesn't look right without her Dark Shaman costume and heroic personality.

1. Costume (Primal (medium NMG)/Winterborn (medium Briarheart))
2. Pact Armor (medium TBS)/Ashlander (medium Red Mountain)
3. Trinimac (heavy Tava)/Orc (heavy Footman) or Trinimac (heavy Tava)/Ebony (heavy Ebon Armory)
4. Akaviri (medium Kvatch Gladiator)/Bosmer (medium Archer's Mind)
5. Costume (currently leveling)
6. Outlaw (light Armor Master)/Orc (heavy Footman)
7. Costume (dislike SPC/Worms Raiment)
8. Costume (mule)
9. Yokudan (light TBS)/Argonian (light Mother's Sorrow)
10. Costume (mule)
11. Xivkyn (light TBS)/Imperial (light Withered Hand)
12. Costume (mule)
13. Trinimac (light Kagrenac's)/Abah’s Watch (light Transmutation)
14. Costume (currently leveling)
15. Costume (mule)
16. Costume (Malacath (medium TBS)/Ashlander (medium Red Mountain))
17. Malacath (light TBS)/Yokudan (light Martial Knowledge)
18. Costume (no kill build using Night's Silence/Night Terror)
19. Order of the Hour (medium NMG)/Bosmer (medium Archer's Mind)
20. Costume (mule)

I'm a bare chested Orc with a glorious ponytail: why do I even need armor?

While this is true... it is glorious.

I run Ancient Orc and footman. Unless people start throwing money at me, then its just the bath towel

Order Hour and Ebony are my favorites right now:

Hanzus

Armor? COSTUMES are where it's at!

I have 5 characters, they all have 4-5 star armor sets, but they all wear costumes .

My favorites for the two male Nords I have are the Nord Hero and Dova King costume, For my female characters Dark seducer and various dress costumes depending on the situation.

Costumes are where its at

DurzoBlint13

Akavari! The only real style choice there is! Honestly, who doesn't want to look like a Samurai (or a Ninja if Light Armor)? Lol
Trying to get this motif when it came out is part of what got me into PvP in the first place

AcadianPaladin

My magplar healer wears a mixture of styles. Heavy (hidden) helm + 6x light.

Crafted set:
Hidden heavy helm (Breton)
Tunic - Nord - short sleeves, smaller crotch and hip flappers than most other styles.
Pants - Altmer cuz they are sleek/form fitting.
Epaulets - Altmer - no shoulder flappers.
Belt - Redguard - pretty unobtrusive/simple design.

Dropped set:
Gloves - Argonian cuz thats how it is and I can't change it - wish I could convert it to Imperial.
Boots - Argonain "
(+jewelry x3)

All carefully dyed and looks pretty good. That said, she still often wears one of her many costumes.

Orc robe, Redguard shoulders.

Switching to Daedric soon.

I will be using a Soul-Shriven staff though, and maybe Xivkyn staff as my backup.

Still trying to choose gloves...

Appleblade

I'm not fussed either way.

I tend to use the character's racial style up to level 50 then I just use whatever seems to fit their class best. Sometime common, sometime rare, sometime I mix and match. Sometimes a sexy costume.

Recremen

I still use the original 10 racial motifs

My default style is a mix of some of the original racial styles in medium, but I love donning a costume now and again to mix it up. What I REALLY would like is a cosmetic system that lets me show off all my motifs known with the same freedom as I show off all my dyes owned. Then I could really up the fashion game!!

Potenza

Armor? COSTUMES are where it's at!

Costumes are no fuss no muss - just put it on and your done.

Thoosa

Xivkyn robe and legs, worm cult everything else!

Armor? COSTUMES are where it's at!

I have used a costume on my DK since I created her and I will keep using it, at least untill Zos adds Transmog/restyle to the game.
