  I've been watching quite a few Let's Plays on Youtube and I find it so funny how the let's players character look really badass but their follower is always dresses with the most random equipment. So I was wondering what your "go to" look for your followers is. If you had to pick one.

  I think I'd have to go with an Ancient Nord Set, my characters are always squishy and always use necromancy so having an Ancient Nordic warrior with a ridiculous amount of HP following me around during the day just fits perfectly.

  I think it depends on the follower's class. If they use magic, I like to have them in robes, warriors get heavy armor, and sneaky ones get something light. But I have found that most of my followers look really good in Orcish armor, and Khajiit look really good in Nordic Carved. :P

  Though I do prefer dressing my companions in assorted hand-me-downs, I'd give them Nordic Carved armor since it's what I enjoy looking at most.  Also a fine hat.  Just so they remember their place.

  I like using Teldryn too. I had to take that helmet from him though. It was just too much. Personally I think dragonscale suits him nicely.

  Ditto what Xeelus said about class. It depends on what they're skilled in. There are a few mismatched ones though (e.g. J'zargo is a mage but is proficient with heavy armor, so he gets heavy armor--I like him in enchanted Nordic Carved). 

  If it's appropriate (my character and my follower have the same armor skills) I'll put us in matching armor sometimes. Just for fun. I like the whole team thing.

  You get a fine hat! And you get a fine hat! Everybody gets a fine hat!

  I ambition to get myself a set of Dragon scale... but I tend not to use any followers other than Serana, who already looks pretty good in the Vampire Royal.

  Basically this, but I'll also add that I rarely give my followers helmets. I like seeing their faces just so I don't feel like I have a random person following me. Besides being in cities/buildings with helmets just looks silly to me, and I find it to be too much of a pain to just taking their helmet off everything we enter such places.
