Especially the unenchanted kind.

There is only one type of non-fraction-specific gloves in the whole game. Only 4-5 unenchanted robe types, all of which have an aesthetic problem from amulets partially clipping through them. Only 3 types of hats in the cold land of Skyrim....one of which is more of a cowl than a hat.

Yes please.
I miss all those clothes we had in morrowind,Miss the clothes from solstheim,They would fit in skyrim!
Pelt/fur clothes/robes

Theres quite a few I think in the clothes store in solitude

More clothing and dyes for it. I hate seeing the same outfit I'm wearing on npcs. Or seeing the same colors on npcs standing next to each other. Especially those who are supposed to be of a higher standing/class.

Also higher prices. Make me feel like it's actually worth something. I want some rich, luxurious robes to cost thousands of septims. Duller colors and rougher fabrics are cheaper; higher end pieces will make you cry because they're too expensive. Anything embroidered, of soft weave, black in color, just to make a few examples, would be monstrously expensive. No machinery = hand-crafted. Higher the detail, the higher the cost.

"Custom-made" pieces would be cool. Could comission them from clothing stores, like the one in Solitude. Basically just pick from presets and tweak the colors and decorations. I'd like to see more variety in color on npcs too. Nothing fancy, just different colors. (God knows what the coding would look like though!)

They shouldve just added dyes to the game. It would change a lot in personalizing your character.

There are way too less clothes in Skyrim. Sure they look nice, but you kinda get sick of them once you realise every fifth person you meet have identical clothes.

Yes. Even better, make it actually be worth something - able to accept stronger enchantments, for instance, or to impress shopkeepers so much they offer a discount.

True. There is almost no variety at all unfortunately.

What I wouldn't give for something scarlet or completely black. Or an outfit like one of the Jarls. Just something I don't have to see on someone else. (And trousers. I miss trousers.)

Agree, especially about the prices. Luxury clothing definitely needs to be more expensive.

Am I the only one who feels that we have way more clothing options in Skyrim than we do in Oblivion?

What I'd like to see is more 'upper class' clothing - perhaps something similar to what the Jarls wear?

I am not really into magic or gloves, despite one of my characters making Arch Mage. Definitely none of my Oblivion characters got far with magic. But there are more than one type of gloves in Skyrim.

More clothing and more clothing slots--separates. With more slots you can make a small amount of clothing look like more.

Oh right, forgot about those. Still, those gloves are faction-exclusive attire so to speak, with certain associations attached to them. For people who really like to role play a character and don't like those factions, they are out of question. I just want more gloves in the shop (different colors, and decorative ones) that are not assoiated with any one faction.

Also, not only mages wear clothing... I hardly ever wear armor on my assssin character. I feel like more of a badass killing people wearing just wedding clothes.

Yeah, more diverse clothing would be better. Especially the robes, they almost look all the same.

Clothes should have an impact on how NPCs approach you as well. If you're dressed like a noble they should treat you as one if they don't know you. If you're dressed like a beggar they should treat you as one, like throw a coin for you and kick you to the curb.

Yes, I agree so much with this. I was disappointed that Jarls never cared about my grungy outfits. Could go jogging up to their thrones in miner's outfits and they wouldn't blink.

Sumptuary laws are also sadly ignored in fiction.

There's literally 2 models for middle-class clothing. Sad.

They seriously need more clothes.
It's all the same things repeadly.
At least dye them more than 2 colours!
The robes without hoods are very unflattering. The hooded ones look ok because the ugly, unflattering, suffocating collar is covered up.
Unenchanted hooded robes are stupidly rare.
If you're a pure magic and robes mage, or your character likes clothes for combat, you have a hard time finding anything sometimes.

And only having one pair of none faction gloves is stupid.
If you did'nt like the thalmor, the only other gloves without enchantments are denied you.
Don't like the DB handwraps, the collage mages ones you can borrow? No gloves for you.

There should be more expensive clothing. Like jarls have.

And a hell of a lot more clean and better dyed clothes. Why the hell would nobles and middle classes wear dirty clothes? And SELL, dirty fine clothes as new?!
They should all be clean and properly dyed clothes if it's right.
Miners clothes would be dirtier. As would ragged clothes. But they rest would be washed!

The thing that bothers me with clothes in Skyrim is the shear number of blatant recolors.

Clothes in Oblivion often relied on the same model, but their textures were very different. In Skyrim, though, you get a number of outfits that are identical in every way except for color tint. So you get this case of, do you want that outfit in the red, blue or green version? Do you want the brown or the grey variation? And so forth, for a number of sets.

And about half a billion for pretty dresses.

Which look weird in Skyrim.


I agree with all this. Nobles should, at the very least, have more options. Or at least colors. And hats. Skyrim is cold and rarely do I see hats. Or gloves. And where the heck are cloaks, capes and mantles? Those were staples of Medieval Europe fashion. (Also could double as a sort of sleeping bag if they were long enough.)

It does get a bit repetitive to see the same outfits in every hold and town. I would at least like a little variety from hold to hold (including guards uniforms) just to be able to distinguish the different 'feel' of each place. Falkreath should be gloomy, dull and dark colors. Solitude should be vibrant, etc.

*nodding in agreement to everything that's said here*

I'm in love with Elisif's outfit. This might be a terrible thing to say, but (Civil war spoiler)
Idgrod Ravencrone has nice clothes as well. There's a female thane in Solitude who wears the same clothes, or almost the same. Wonder if she's essential...?

If anyone knows any nice clothes to be found (or looted) somewhere, please tell me!

Rule of thumb in Skyrim is:

If NPC is wearing cool unique clothes, he/she is essential. trollface.jpg.

The lack of coats, mantles and capes and hats is weird. It's freezing cold, parts are always covered in snow. But they don't wear outwear, at all. My characters always look like they're cold and like they want some fur covered outwear, lol. Coats, claoks, etc would be good.
They're walking round in dresses and tunics, etc. You look at them and think, are you joking? It's snowing, and you're wearing a dress with 3 quarter sleeves and no hat. How are you even alive!

I like the idea of places having a diferent feel and looking diferent down to the guards uniforms. Places would have their own fashions partly made because of the climate and character. You would'nt wear the exact same thing in a snow covered place, as in a sunny place. That would be good. If only for the poor guards wearing exactly the same short sleeved uniform in always snowing windhelm, as in sunny markarth.

More clothing and armor styles is always good.
