I know with this post I would be going going over the unsaid forum rule of 1 post per day, but bare with me.
I have seen quite of people in-game and on the forums saying that the new nocturnal costume is too kinky and the game is becoming like the asian mmo's and all that other crap. So, I went the Elder Scrolls Wiki and the Nocturnal page.
Here is the link:
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Nocturnal
The costume isn't too kinky it's lore friendly, this is legit what Nocturnal wears. The people at ZoS aren't trying to make this one of those games where you get those "My *** brought me here." situations.
I have also seen a lot of comments complaining about how this game has too many costumes revealing women's bodies and none (or very few) for men. I don't know why in the world you would even want that, but there are plenty.
Here are a few:
-Upriver” Striped Sash-Kilt
-Black Marsh Keeper
-Dark Shaman
-Pirate Swab Outift
There are many more but I don't really have the patience to sit through all of that. So here is a link where you can find them:

Speaking from a normal day-to-day perspective I see a lot more women in clothes that show their cleavage than I do see guys that walk around without shirts.
Keep in mind this a M rated game with one of the content descriptors being "Sexual Themes" if you are seriously bothered by seeing an inch of cleavage than perhaps this isn't the game for you.
I've seen too many complains about this subject which makes no sense to me so I felt the need to put this all out there.

Every gender can wear any outfit in this game, yeah.
So if you ask me what I'm going to call "female" clothing, I'm going to lean historically when appropriate.
Costume designed from historically feminine clothing:
Costume designed from historically feminine clothing worn by a male character which is an awesome option:
Examples of said historical clothing design from which the costume is designed:
But hey, if Dunmer gentlemen decide to pay homage to their ancestors looking like this, who am I to judge? (Funny how ZOS only put this outfit on female NPCs, to my knowledge.)
History didn't all happen in Europe.

Robes and clothing ranging from simple to extravagant, yes. Eyewatering color combos, yes. Telvanni deciding that giant insects make excellent clothing decorations, yes. Boob windows? No.
I'm well aware that there's a 700ish year difference between ESO's Morrowind and TES III Morrowind. That's plenty of time for fashion to change (And Almalexia's fashion sense never changes, so make of that what you will). I am disappointed that I didn't get any of the TES III style clothing that I liked because ZOS wanted boob windows.
Styles do change. In a few hundred years, those poster boards they are wearing will be used to advertise hot dogs and income tax preparation companies.
Specific to Vvardenfell, there is also a major climate and atmosphere difference between ESO and TES 3, due to the events that happen after ESO. Clothing will follow suit.
Specific to those pictures, aren't those the Imperial Cult priest robes? I don't think the Dunmer wore poster boards.

My only request would be to have a turn ON/OFF costumes worn by other players.
Don't see an issue with this. This way you can wear whatever you want and play the game and se what you want, and I can play how I want and see what I want. Everyone would be happy.

Yea nocturnal wears a revealing bath robe. Wood elfs stroll around town in a mini skirt etc. That is true.
However (from my knowledge) you dont see nocturnal or azura in true fights (something that may endanger them) fighting in those outfits. A woodelf lass doesn't go on a epic battle by going into her wardrobe and picking out a skirt over her armour sitting on her bed. When you read the in game books the heros are in proper gear. The gods are another thing altogether. Sometimes they may do godly things like strike someone down easy in a robe because they have nothing to fear but in a real fight people go prepared.
To say anything else is a disingenuous argument..
So yes.. its in the lore.. however that argument does not fit the elements of the world they created for us in which we are going into epic battles in dungeons..
I dont like seeing my tank in a mini skirt while facing something like Saint Olms the Just.. the same reason I would hate to go to a milsim and see a girl in a bikini while all of us other people are in proper military gear.. it does not fit the scenario even though she could turn around and say "Hey someone in this world has actually gone into combat in a bikini surely". They are probably right but it makes the scenario look dumb..

Its stupid to see tanks in a skirt and someone taking on mobs in a bikini..
They made this amazing world for us to experience and all people want to do is something they could do on google easier..
Dressing like this is the equivalent of going to paint ball in a bikini.. its not against any rules or lore but its weird when the scenario does not match it..
Dressing like this is the equivalent of playing csgo and asking the devs to make a bikini skin for the player models..
Ill just straight say it.. it screams desperate and weird to me.

Yeah, except it's a COSTUME and NOT armor.

The Zulu weren't the only culture that didn't suit up in full armor to go into battle.
Which is to say, I understand your general point and I'm aware that most historical examples took place in their own context of battel tactics, but in a game where I can turn myself into lightning among other sorts of magical protections, full protective armor covering every inch of out bodies is clearly not a necessity within the context of the Elder Scrolls.

Bah! Some of the armor is, to me, so hideously ugly that I do not want to be seen in it. So you being able to turn off my costume(s) would negate my wearing it/them and that would make me cranky.
(I kid, I kid)

I actually was thinking this when I posted it, but it should still be fine. In game I'll be happy to tell you how awesome you look in your wedding dress while swinging 2 axes around. (How do you NOT get blood on that thing?)

That robe, man. That's all I ever wanted in this game.
That, and a freaking Telvanni Cephalopod helmet.
