90% of the community want a feature like that, but knowing ZOS, it would be for eso + members only.

But i won't really care because i'm a eso + member.

Since I am not the only one that wants this feature I do hope that it will eventually come to be.

Another direction that would work is creating a set of slots for appearance. They would would "hold" the appearance of any armor one has but not the armor or set bonus. One could toggle between that and their actual armor and of course a costume over ride this.

SWTOR has this. The first slot of free, at least for subs, and additional slots cab be purchased with ingame gold or from cash shop to hold additional appearances.

Great for RP and easy to use.

Nope, a vanity slot system as mentioned would not work in eso without completely undermining crafters and the need of style gems.

People would craft all the various styles they would ever need in various slots, all from cheap white gear bank it and be done with it. Them whenever they need to craft a new set for say a new dlc update or to try out a new build, they will throw it together with some hideous argonian or khajiit nonsense (minus the sexy khajiit staves ofc) since they already have their swag loadouts ready to go. Mimic stones wold be dead in the water and all the other style gems would be practically given away in due time when people aquire all the vanity sets they want.

No. The best option for this game while maintaining value for being a full crafter is that to change the appearance of an item, you would require materials in some way close to what it would cost to craft something of similar nature and obviously knowledge of the style and possession of the required style gem. Ie. to change a helm dropped from a boss in a trial you would have to commit 80 or so ruby resource and the style gem. He'll they could even go as far as requiring you know x amount of traits for said item depending on its value ie. 0 - 3 traits for low level to mid range gear, up to max level bis bop gear requiring 7-9 trait knowledge to convert it's appearence. This might be taking it a bit too far but even a small requirement of tempers depending on what quality the price of gear is.

Something along those lines in some fashion (pun intended). You need a crafter or have it leveled up yourself to benefit from customizing your appearance so changing the style of an item should be no different.
