✭✭✭✭✭The "arm armor" serves no logical function and is unattractive. Take it off!I would also like it better if the armor was replaced with jewelry that complimented the belt.
But what I REALLY long for is an outfit like this that is ELEGANT. Perhaps a beautifully embroidered top (I REALLY REALLY LIKE THE TOP) and a skirt that sits low on the hip like this but has beautiful shiny fabric like the upper tier Khajiit fabrics. And pretty delicate jewelry. Come on ZOS, make my year. Start giving us some costumes that are actually attractive. Please.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!1 -

✭✭✭✭✭The "arm armor" serves no logical function and is unattractive. Take it off!Hey folks, please weigh in on this costume. I am curious to see what people think of what, to me at least, is some really illogical and clunky design that ruins an otherwise lovely piece.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!1 -
Ffastyl✭✭✭✭✭I like it just as it is.That armor serves logical purpose: it protects the arms against blows. Note the armor covers the shoulders and forearms. The elbows are left exposed to preserve mobility of the joints and the rerebraces can catch blows the bracers cannot. What is illogical in the armor design is all vital organs are left unprotected. I guess the designer either requires these be uncovered for magical reasons or assumes the wearer skilled enough to deflect all blows to the chest and head."A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."

✭Other Change (explain in comments)I would add a small cape, partially covering chest, shoulders and back, somewhat like Altmer Motif Light Shoulders or Mages Guild Robes:
Of course, with some stitches and maybe magic symbols.🌈 Ride with Pride🌈

✭Arms?
How about adding the obviously missing chest piece instead?!

BlueViolet✭✭✭✭✭I like it just as it is.Oddly enough I rather like it. As if the arm pieces are ceremonial or something like that. But then again I think I'm the only person in the game who actually loves the barbaric style, so....*shrug*EU / NA / PC0

✭✭✭✭✭I don't particularly dislike it, but I'm not crazy about it either. I probably won't buy this costume anyway because it doesn't suit any of my characters.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.1 -

It will be one of the few costumes I won't buy for that reason. Were the shoulders and forearm armors replaced with jewelry, I'd most likely buy it, though I'd prefer the armor removed entirely.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I like it just as it is.It looks good: very primal
Would've been better if the gauntlets were made of bone or leather"Stand strong, stay true and shelter all."

Kharnis✭✭✭Other Change (explain in comments)Keep the shoulder parts (maybe streamline them a wee bit better so they don't jut out so much, but that's not really all that jarring to me), however replace the arm bracers with a more form-fitting piece, like it was something made of leather or cloth, like what is present with the lower level medium Bosmer armour."Technology today is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof devices, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."

✭✭✭✭✭The "arm armor" serves no logical function and is unattractive. Take it off!I have to say I'm a little surprised. The forearm stuff is just so huge and clunky and doesn't look like it belongs with the rest of the outfit to me. Also, this doesn't seem as if it's meant to be armor at all so throwing on huge clunky arm armor is just really perplexing to me.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!1 -

✭✭✭Other Change (explain in comments)I'm about 50/50 on the design. I think a bit more curvature at the shoulder and making the wrist armor a bit less....well less would do wonders.
The rest of it I love though!0 -

✭The "arm armor" serves no logical function and is unattractive. Take it off!Both the shoulder piece and the gauntlet should be removed. It's supposed to be shaman armor, they didn't wear leather/linen pieces of armor like that.
Maybe some feather bracers, just as accessory...I am the very model of a scientist Salarian, I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian.

✭If i'm honest, the arm pieces seem a bit redundant to me, but then i'm not a fan of bare-chested armour sets. It can be hard to find the right balance between practical and fantastical when it comes to armour. The skirt part is better (but then I prefer the rough, functional look over super-shiny, super-colourful stuff). Overall, it feels a bit too contrived for my taste.1 -
