Beautiful clothes / vanity gear

Hello! I'm very excited about this game.
One of the things I like the most in MMORPG and other online games - is dressing up my character and making them look good. To that end, I am often disappointed by games focusing only on gear that makes sense in a battle scenario. Chainmails, plate, weathered leather gear, mage robes, etc. And then they completely forget casual clothes.

One of my favorite games in that regard is FFXIV. You can get anything there - from combat armor to parade uniforms, from traveller's cloaks to beautiful dresses, tuxedo suits and arcane gear with shiny floating crystals. You get casual-looking shorts, skirts and pants too. You have anime-like over-the-top gear with belts and buckles.
For those who like them, you get bikini suits and sexy-dancer attire.

The game doesn't shy away from "bikini-chainmail" while also providing classy and battle-weathered looks too.

I really enjoy that aspect. I hope that Ashes does the same.
I really hope that you can work with Asian and Western clothes designers to create a diverse set of outfits and clothes.

This is a casual concern, but it really elevates games for me if I can wear brooding warlock outfit with sculls and spikes one day, and then switch it up to pink mini-skirt and top when I feel like it.

Also I always wanted a game with more vanity slots - like underwear, stockings, hair clips/bows, bracelets, etc.

Lastly, I enjoy options to hide gear. I sometimes enjoy going bare-feet and in only small bra +pants or skirt as part of barbarian-ish roleplay. I really hope that's possible.

Cheers!

p.s. It seems a lot of people get confused about Bikinis. I am NOT suggesting to definitely have those in the game. I was merely listing the breadth of options in FFXIV. Now, personally I wouldn't mind bikinis (I wouldn't wear them, but having an option is better in my book). But The point is to make more casual and non-battle vanity gear like dresses, shirts, pants, skirts, etc. Not necessary to go all the way to Korean-style MMO with panties everywhere (Although personally I would love them).

Some of the female concepts I would use for a Female Tank (Often use Female Toons). I enjoy the process of finding goodies for my toons, not a massive fan of Bikini Armour but I do love Form Fitting Armour.

These all look really nice and I do think there also seems to be some functionality to them! I'm personally looking forward to playing a female tank, so I'm always on the lookout for new ideas on how to style my character

Just wanted to pop in again and say that these concept arts is partially what I'm talking about. They're all good, even the skeleton one. I'd wear that, if I'm in that mood.

All these concept arts are great. If the female characters had bikini type armor that would be great too.

Its just that I don't want there to be full on "waifu" costumes or furry costumes, in a medieval themed mmo like ashes.

These are all some of my favorite concept/art pieces that I've been able to find online. I love looking bulky as a tank but specifically playing female, I enjoy there sometimes being a feminine element to the armor.

And if you want dark armour here you go

I, too, am strongly in favour of feminine attire. I am not into skulls and bones and if that is what I have to look at while playing the game, I will get disenchanted with it. I wouldn't go so far as bikinis for fighting. If I want to play an all powerful sorceress though, I am darned sure going to pick my tailor to my liking. If all I get is drab dude robes...that implies to me that I don't have a choice. Do you want the platform to be female player friendly? (I assume so - rhetorical). There are many ways to make APPEALING feminine attire without losing the medieval theme. Don't box us into male armour skins.

Female players vary so much on what they want in armour. I believe in giving choice to the individual. I, personally, will own any male objectivity that result from my choices.

If I wanted to look like a dude, I would play a dude.

Because I'll most likely be a Py-Rai Female Bard, I would love Leather Armour to also be Form Fitting Armour and not just scantily clad. It is difficult to find Female Leather Armour which isn't scantily clad. In my brief search I could only find the three images above. I have confidence in the Ashes Team though and hope there will be a massive variety. Can't wait to transmog and find 'Vanity Armour' to use in transmog.

There's been a couple threads about this topic already and I usually pop in to say: I don't mind if they go strictly realistic, but I also wouldn't mind if they added in "pleasant to look at" armor/clothes so long as it's added for male and female characters. It's always annoying when a game's design is clearly visually skewed for one...well two I guess...purposes.

Fashion is definitely something I am looking forward to a lot, but it has to be in line with what the races/cultures wear. Throwing in Japanese looking armor/clothing when it is out of place will just look weird. As for bikini armors and the like well can't say it matters much to me, I'd totally roll one for my character if it fits. Any kind of desert clothing would work well in that regard I suppose.

I suppose I did leave it between the lines before. There are so many play styles. Let people who want to wear armour that looks like it is teticular and mammary crushing if that is what they want for their idea of realism.

I support having choice. If I want to be dressed like Joan of Arc depictions, I want that choice. If I want to dress in flowing silk robes in {traditional to my mind} Elven style, then I want that choice.

I am totally in favour of having options for females to be female without lending sexuality to it. I am totally in favour of having the feminine enhancing (my definition of it) attire too. Even something like geisha robes could be integrated. I wouldn't personally chose the middle-school girl outfits you find in some games, but I am not put out that others do.

I am not an artist. I just appreciate the art. Too much realism defeats the purpose of me immersing hours of my time a day in game play.

I feel that a lot of Reasonable Fantasy Reddit would fit in this thread

Personally I'm more partial to the rugged, piecemeal, crude style of armor that looks more akin to a roguish type slapped with some leather, hide and metal all dyed black but looks like it and person wearing it has seen some action!
