I am personally a fan of the more elegant kinds of armour styles so I though I'd share some of my favourites from Aion & Lineage 2, both plate and cloth/robe armours. Aion male robe: Lineage 2 robe: Aion robe: Aion plate: Aion plate 2: Lineage 2 Leather (ignoring the Kamael race wing): Hoping to see lots more from people

Having a gaping hole in the chest, midriff, or armpits could certainly boost someone’s efficacy in distraction, seduction, or swaying opinion in politics/business through opulence or impression, but it should not be acceptable as armor. Sure, combat doesn’t require armor; plenty of people have fought naked through history and loose clothing is actually extremely resilient and protective against slashing cuts. However, boob windows and bikini armor do not protect against stabbing or arrows. Dragon’s Dogma did some nice looking armors that actually look protective when they are meant to be, while giving opportunity for more revealing clothing that doesn’t protect as much. I would LOVE for players to be able to craft and sell cosmetic clothing to wear over or mixed over-under armor in a way that the armor (or lack thereof) is visible. I know this is really hard to implement with issues in clipping, but it would allow players to mix and match their armor types of choice with outfits of choice for personal flair and style. If overlays can be figured out to make this happen, so much more diversity in appearance is possible! I’d love to wear a dress with a low neckline exposing the protective gambeson or cuirass I’m wearing underneath! Alternatively, if a guy or gal wants to go the more sexy route, wear that top with chest and belly exposed while still showing pizaine, greaves, and cuisses offering a bit of protection for other areas. MMORPGs are not really equipped to deal with a lot of armor layering effects and really specific hitbox damage resistance, but a girl can dream. The one thing I really want to make sure doesn’t happen is if I go to pick up that heavy armor that looks super epic on a male character, and it suddenly converts to boob plate when I put it on.
