Hiding cloaks, helms, etc

This is actually something that is quite important to me. It's become fairly usual and customary, in MMOs, to hide helms & cloaks. Rift took that one step further by allowing us to hide pretty much everything. Given the complex, differing personalities of the characters I create, I may have some who want the full armor set, and some who're happy flinging spells around barefoot.
Will there be a level of customization which allows us to hide items and, if so, how deep will that customization be able to go?
I did try searching to see if this topic had been addressed previously, but either it hadn't been, or the search feature was not working well. Your answers will be much appreciated!

I may be wrong but I haven't seen a source of info that addresses this type of feature. I guess it is in the detail of the game where such things are divulged and perhaps Intrepid aren't there yet but voicing your opinion can't do any harm. I'm actually looking forward to playing an MMO that actually has a proper cloak.
I suspect there'll definitely be customization but will it go beyond hiding your helm, I am not so sure. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

clearly you've never play vs tomb kings
I didn't say strip everything off; however, it wouldn't be immersion breaking, imo, to have, say, a mage running around barefoot (as mine did in Rift). Again, however, it's options I'm seeking. WoW has finally allowed us to also remove belts; what about gloves? So on and so forth. For me, again, it's about my characters. Some want full armor, some just wanna dance barefoot in the rain as they pelt spells down upon their foe.
but on the topic, i think they should add the ability to hide every slot but not chests/pants.
with this players get nice customizability but would feel real defensive repercussion if they would go full on naked, as they should.
Also its not you or anyone actually worried about this stuff, its more the people that dont care, the people that organise a naked siege
If they decide to allow us to hide all pieces, having an underarmor / innerwear slot that can't be toggled off can prevent them from getting flak over butt naked avatars. I like that better than peeps running around in the same meh default underwear. It also gives them more cosmetics to sell in the cash shop! ;-)
Cloaks will be only cosmetic I think, in one of the gameplay videos Steven showed the 8 gear slots: head, shoulders, chest, arms, hands, waist, legs, boots. You can watch the video here:
What I think would be neat is an in-combat, out-of-combat toggle for visualization. Why would I wear my helm while getting a drink at the tavern? Why wouldn't I wear my helm in battle? Having an auto-swap feature would be very cool imo.
But head, cloak and shoulders.. those are essential.

I would like to be able to hide helms and cloaks, As far as the other armor... it doesn't make much sense to me. I mean, hiding a chest piece for a fighter to get that barbarian feel, I can see that. But I think the game would like kinda... Monty Python if there were naked raiders and pvpers. Unless I read your post wrong.
I didn't ask that all armor be removable :-)
