  I think Dwemer armor is the best looking heavy armor in the game, in fact probably the best looking armor in general.

  Dragonbone armor on the other hand is horrible looking imo

   Tough one, I can't definitely answer¹ this. I like Steel, Nordic Craved, female Ancient Nord Armor, the Dawnguard one, the Solitude guard armor, Elven armor, the Imperial light and heavy armor, Wolf armor... The list goes on.

   Unlike most people, however, I don't like Dwemer armor.

   ¹Actually, I can: All of the Dunmer armors.

  I think the Dawnguard armors are the best looking sets in the game, heavy or light. The heavy gauntlets and boots are good combined with other heavy armor to make a 'medium armor' look while using only heavy armor.

  I'm also a fan of the Stalhrim sets, Steel Plate, Nordic carved, Orcish armor, Dragonscale, Ancient Falmer, Steel, Glass, and the various Hold guard armor sets. I prefer mixing them together rather than full sets.

  My favorite outfit (currently) is: Dawnguard Heavy armor (white variant), with Steel Plate Gauntlets and Steel Nordic (or Steel Plate) Boots. Helmet is either Steel, Dawnguard heavy, or Rahgot (I like the mask). With a Steel Greatsword to complete the knight look.

  Morag tong sans helmet or blackguard. I tend to favor light armors tho.

  My favorite set would have to be Nightingale Armor, followed by the Thieves Guild Master's set. Nightingale Armor + Guild Master's Hood = Favorite Armor Combo by far.

  I think the choice is obvious and you've all gone horribly wrong  .

  Bonemold armour is hands down my favorite. Though I do like Steel Plate, Nordic Carved, Ebony, Steel Dawnguard Heavy Armour, Dwarven...Alright so the Heavy ones, big fan of Heavy Armour...

  IN terms of Light Armour... Well I like the Thieve's Guild and the Leather Sets...

  I really like the leather armor for it gives the character an "adventurer" type of feel but add in a thieves guild hood then the character has a "thiefy, bandit-ish" kind of feel to it.
  
  I also love the dragonbone and dragonscale armor sets, for me the sets look bad-ass and also I also like the akaviir armor because of its "samurai" style of armor even thoug i rarely use them.

  If I play as argonian then orcish, then as Nord scaled and steel plates (except helmet, it looks bad in my opinion)

  Blackguard would be my personal favourite. But I also really like simple iron, hide, scaled, and leather armor. Mainly use light armor, nonetheless, but I like the aesthetic of the earlier armors. I find it easier to rp when my character looks as though he could simply be any other npc, I guess.

  I really like the Thieves Guildmaster armour, pity it's so hard to get and isn't enchantable.

  Daedric Armour minus the helmet plus a dragon priest mask.

  And a greatsword on the back, of course

  The Deathbrand armor is my favorite mainly because of the enchantments and the cool look. It's also considerably the best armor in the game.

  My favorite armor is the Ebony Mail.  I love the look and the unique enchantments.  I usually match it with the Apprentice Hood and Thalmor gloves and boots.  It's my favorite end game set for a mage of questionable character.

  Morag Tong armour and boots, with an adept hood and dwarven gauntlets. Equipped with a hatchet and Spellbreaker, it's a perfect Dwemer researcher!

  I have always wanted to have a heavy armor character but am always drawn back to good ole light armor. I like the rugged and primitive look of the fur armor especially with just the kilt and cape.
