    Hey, anyone ever think of making a "Skyrim Outfits" thread, like a place were people can record different clothing match-ups that look good in the game? Just an idea.

    I love that idea. I'm huge on aesthetics so that would be really helpful

    I think there was a discussion like that recently. Something like mixed outfits...

    Anyway, I can name a few off the top of my head for male characters:

    Ebony Boots, Ebony Gauntlets, Ebony Maiil, Shrouded Hood

    Bonemold Boots, Bonemold Gauntlets, Dwarven Armor, Aetherial Crown

    Necromancer Boots, Necromancer Robes, Dragon Priest Mask

    I'd be on board with that.  I always put a lot of consideration into the appearance of my characters' clothes/armor.  Here are a few of my favorites:

    * Ebony Mail + Nightingale Hood + Ebony Boots/Gauntlets

    * Nordic Carved Armor + Zahkriisos + Nordic Carved Boots/Gauntlets (I'm using this in my next build, so if you guys steal it, I'll beat you up)

    * Elven Light Armor + Diadem of the Savant + Elven Light Boots/Gauntlets

    * Red/Black Vampire Armor + Redguard Hood + Vampire Boots/Gauntlets

    * Banded Iron Armor + Novice Hood + Iron Boots/Gauntlets

    Yeah, I searched the blog and forums, and I could not find it anywhere. It would be cool to get different takes on outfits, whether they are themed outfits, or just stuff that looks good together. Roleplay could also be involved with the outfits. I thought of this idea as I was playing just now, I combined the Dawnguard Light Armor chest, boots, and gauntlets with an apprentice hood and it looks phenomenal, with no clipping. The apprentice hood has a sort of design on it that matches in color and style to the design on the Dawnguard armor. It just works :) I want to hear other people's ideas of great outfits and both their pros/cons (clipping and such).

    Well good, I guess we can just share ideas in this discussion here. Just post your favorite outfits for others to try! :)

    I take it you're using the brown light DG armor, with no pauldrons?  Do you have a screenshot/image by any chance?

    Yes, brown, light, no shoulder pads :)

    Unfortunately, I do not have a screenshot, for I am on PS3 :( But I will try to get a picture, and we can post them here too.

    I think it was called armour combos or something like that.

    Well I guess this can be the new spot to post some as you discover them while you play :)

    Wow those are great for High Elf characters, especially a mage build or sorcerer build, would match with those very well.

    Any gauntlets that look good with Archmage Robes and don't clip??

    "boots" in the archmage's room is good as it gives a 40% resistance to shick and resets, fur braces is also good but if u want the Mage armour bonus than I suggest using ulfric's braces

    I like using the Mystic Tuning Gloves.  No AR, so you can use the Mage Armor perks with them.  They're cool looking too, and unique.
