All the clothes? Why all the clothing?

[philbe63]

I just don't understand why there's all these bits of clothing that you keep picking up but you really can't wear them because it lowers your armor rating. I know you can sell them but most of the time its not really worth any money.

Because they look good on a ranged character that prefers not having increased recovery times

[philbe63]

What about us melee people? I'm a rogue...I need to look good and kick butt

[BitterHeals]

I wear the dancers outfit on my cipher. It looks cute and doesn't impede recovery time. I like trying all the clothes on but haven't come across anything I like more than it.

I'll always choose fashion over function. Better to look good than to feel good.

style points convert directly into skill points without any point loss. Really no reason not to look your best.

This! It comes with a downside though. It gets really tough to choose between good looking clothing and boring mail armor on a character that definitely can use the extra armor.

I've started the game a few times now to test out different classes, each time as a melee character. I grab that swarthy clothing from the locked chest in the beach cave, and wear that over the starting mail. Fortunately it doesn't make a huge difference at the start, and I can hold out until I off some pirate lord guy for his good looking magical leather armor. What's a few wounds next to a world of fashion? Scars are basically just fashion accessories anyway.

Because you can't go swashbucklin' without a bit of swash.

Because fashion is life.

These days I dont even look at clothing that has less than a +2 appearance stat

i really wish they will add cosmetic slot at some point so i can have looks of one of those cooler clothes even if i use armor.

[Brian Sirith]

So you can have Aloth wearing nothing but jewelry!

This. For most of my playthrough I had Eder wearing a wide-brimmed hat or something and it looked like a cowboy hat. I was so disappointed when I finally had to replace it because I had gotten so used to him looking like a cowboy. XD

Unfortunately, most of the enchantable clothing are robes, and not particularly good looking robes either. I think Effigy's Husk is probably functionally the best robe, but it's hideous. Humilty is another good set of 0 recovery armor, and it's a dirty blood stained cassock. Some of the gambesons and padded armors do look good though. There are a couple of reduced recovery leathers that look nice.

If you like heavy armor, Deltro's Cage and the Blackened Plate armor look great (although the plate isn't rigid when the character moves). Unfortunately, with a 55% recovery penalty, only an Armored Grace Fighter would want to wear it.
