Should (AOC CASHSHOP) Cosmetic armor sets be able to be equipped to any piece of gear

I say yes because you will be spending money to have it on you're main class etc and some people purchase the cosmetics because they want to wear them on their main. My point is if you are going to be spending money on armor cosmetics then they should be able to be worn on any armor unless they are gender locked like wedding dresses etc.
But what are other people thoughts?

Will cosmetics be separate costumes to armour or skinned onto the armour.
Cosmetics will have separate slots so you wont be applying the cosmetic directly onto the gear. This means your gear type shouldn't matter and the cosmetic can be reused.
It was also mentioned in this stream on November 17th
If they obfuscate gear I do.....as it destroys any feedback system.
eg. Why have gear that visually changes with level ? Pointless.
The cosmetics aren't really equipped to gear.
Rather, they are a slot overlaid on top of the armor slots.
Some people will be wearing the Elemental skins, etc.
So we won't always be able to see what armor people are wearing simply via sight.
We should be able to recognize that, say, the Protector's Armor is just a cosmetic rather than armor.
And taking out low level players will probs land you with rightfully lots of corruption.
So you can still see what type of armor the player is wearing (cloth / armor / plate) and what weapon type, regardless of skin modification.
Same goes for only being able to apply "horse skins" on an actual horse mount, and "dragon skins" on an actual dragon mount.
It's going to be basic mount skins on basic mounts and epic mount skins on epic mounts.
Some people will be wearing their Royal and Majesty costumes over plate armor, I'm quite sure. Same with Elemental skins.
in other games they Show a Dress on the Icon but if you wear it as a man youll get a suit the only Thing i can understand is when you got different types of Amour for different classes then i think its right to say "no you cant wear this"
If you buy leather armor cosmetics it should apply to leather armor, if you bought a flame cosmetic item it should not be working for every armor class that suddenly is on fire, you should have to pick.
I think its a lot better from the variety aspect as well, seeing a lot of different cosmetic looks vs the same on all armors, i think this would help immersion and role play, not just slap something across everything.
So if you are actually wearing heavy armor you should only be able to put heavy armor skins on. It's a PVP heavy game there should be some semblance of representation of what class of armor someone is wearing.
Not quite but it would almost be like putting a bow skin on a wand. I know this a bit more of a drastic difference but at the same time not really.
If it was a PVE game wouldn't really care, for a PVP heavy game a skin should at least represent a similar class of armor or weapon the person is actually using.
