Skyrim is a fashion backwater compared to Cyrodiil. What are your fashion gripes and outrages?

Here's mine:

Jarl Idgod--She looks like a living dead Dieter right out of Sprockets. Don't know exactly what she's wearing but she looks down right creepy. Now where's the monkey?

Steel armor--its equally unbecoming on both men and women. Doesn't look like any kind of armor in history but it makes everyone look like an extra on Ice Pirates.

Tavern Clothes--Can you say Nord Trash? You can take the trash out of the meadlodge but you can't take the meadlodge out of the trash.

Fur Kilts--For years fantasy role playing games forced women to wear impractical armored bikinis for fashion sake. Now, at last, men too can wear pointless abdomen exposing armor that does nothing to impede the enemy's weapons.

Imperial Armor--Two words: Knobby knees.

Elven Armor--actually looks pretty good, but the truth is it's a cheap knock off of Chanel--er, no, I meant, a rip off of Peter Jackson's elven armor. On the other hand, it is not at all like Tolkien's elves. Tolkien dressed his elves, and all his warriors, in chainmail. Tolkien elves were particularly fond of mithril chainmail. Tolkien never wrote a word about fancy banded brass armor.

Forsworn--um, do I actually need to say anything about that? Kinda speaks for itself doesn't it?

Don't forgot the fine clothes.
That nasty fur shawl on the dirty blue/green robe looks hideous , not to mention it gives females 0 curves what's so ever.

Oh yeah, and forgot to mention:

Wearing helmets indoors? Big fashion no-no.

Same with walking around crowded indoor spaces with a gigantic 2-handed weapon strapped to your back (by mysterious means) smashing random people in the face as you walk around.

Aelas face paint.
Also every single jarl.
They all look homeless.
At least in oblivion counts and countesses looked the part.

I've said it before but occasionally my mind wanders to thoughts of what it would be like to have all the fashions of Skyrim paraded down a runway for judging by Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, and Nina Garcia. Best Project Runway finale EVAH.

If we could somehow work in a scene where Tim Gunn visits Radiant Raiment and [censored]-slaps the proprietors, my life would be complete.

Actually, Skyrim's clothes look about...hmm.. 20x better than Cyrodils. Which I thought was funny.

So in a world with dragons, werewolves, vampires, and just about every other creature out there trying to kill you, you are worried about the fashion.... I'm a little confused here.

Why not?

After all, only Altmeri-like-Aldmeri Haute Couture is worth adorning our flesh-vehicles.

There is more to the game than combat. Startling, I know.

...Skyrim's version of Steel Armor is one of the best default armor options.

(honestly surprised that you called out all the things you did, when the abomination called Dragon armor exists.)
