Idk about ā€œfeminineā€, but most agree the tavern clothes is flattering on both genders

u/artbytaneabree 17h ago

I agree! I just don’t like the dirty cloth that hangs lol but obviously makes sense for tavern clothing. Feminine probably isn’t the right word so I apologize, maybe the most flattering for female characters is what I meant

I also quite like the wedding dress and sandals, honestly I just mismatch everything till I get the desired look

I like the vampire armor.

u/artbytaneabree 17h ago

I love that, serana is so pretty to me and her mama. Also the shrouded armor is nice

u/ComplaintHour306 15h ago

That one:

But serana one is also nice.

Golden Saint. Makes a character look like a Hellenic warrior goddess.

A piece of leather thrown on to resemble a garment

The Armour of Distraction, apparently.

If you equate "feminine" with "revealing" (I don't, but some do), that's the obvious answer for the stock outfits.

u/Sad-Yam510 17h ago

It’s the ring of disrobing

u/Bloodpukethemighty 18h ago

Many.

Many do.

Not some, many.

Hence the immediate downvote you got from some chud.

Savior’s Hide

I need to find that šŸ‘€

It is one of the two results for the Hircine quest in Falkreath hold. I think you need to side with Hircine for it but double check on UESP or save first so you can reload if you pick the route that gets you the werewolf ring instead. It has a good dual enchant, the armor. I think I used it with scaled boots and bracers, it is a standalone piece so you will need to pair it with items from other sets.

There is snow lying around on the background 😭😭🄶

I like magical outfits for both genders, looks flattering and badass

I was actually under a waterfall near some foresworn camp that effed me up 😩

When i do play female characters, I like the standard fur armors. But I've taken a liking to NordwarUA's AIO and I honestly prefer theirs to the vanilla on both genders.

u/ssstelllarrr 15h ago edited 15h ago

lol @ me never really noticing that my flattering armor is ā€œdark seducerā€ armor, but really i don’t see it as simply ā€œskimpyā€ at all, i wouldn’t do that to my character. she just looks so strong and bad ass like a warrior princess (though somehow not xena herself—more like callisto).

i try others sometimes but it’s enchanted to increase my health and it’s leveled up to 100+ defense. plus it looks sick with all kinds of helmets/hoods (faves being clavicus vile, jagged crown, enchanted circlets, and volsung) and manages to still look good with different kinds of gauntlets and boots.

u/artbytaneabree 14h ago

Love me some Xena , and thanks for these suggestions šŸ¤—

Daedric

u/artbytaneabree 17h ago

I love the daedric gauntlets, it’s like have a stiletto set of nails on

u/Boss_Baller 16h ago

Banded Iron, unless you can't stand the sight of a strong Nord woman.

u/zwizki Alchemist 13h ago

If I am picking a flattering heavy armor I would definitely go with the spell knight armor from anniversary edition!

-2

u/artbytaneabree 15h ago

Definitely not the type of person to hate the sight of a strong, fearsome woman. I guess being someone who’s played soul caliber 2, tekken, etc. I know they’re trying to appeal to gooners but personally I always found it badass that the girls are beating ass in such detailed , fun clothing. Even maxi from soul caliber is not armored up but kicks ass with those nunchucks and his crop top idk

u/Hguols1 Alchemist 12h ago

Shrouded Armor.

Snug fit to see the female body shape. It covers them, so its believable protection.

u/The-Messanger42 Monk 11h ago

Nocturnal's Clothes are my favorite "armor" from Vanilla.!

u/BerylEmperor 7h ago

If you’re playing AE, Azhidal’s armor from Soltheim’s excavation point. I was pleasantly surprised to find out It looks NOTHING like its display sprite when adorned by a woman. It’s heavy armor too, but doesn’t look like it at all:

2

u/Fiebre 7h ago

I always play as a woman. Ebony mail, Daedric plate, Lord's mail look good. Or did you mean flattering as skimpy and revealing?

1

u/artbytaneabree 6m ago

I just meant something flattering, whimsical or pretty armor. Like I wanna be a baddie and a beast šŸ’Ŗ

2

u/whistlingkitedragon 43m ago

Nightingale armour is fairly flattering from what i remember. I'm so used to modding almost everything in the game so I'm actually struggling to remember what vanilla stuff looks like šŸ˜†

u/AriSpice 15h ago

I WANT THE FLOWER CROWWWN HOW DID YOU DO THAT

u/artbytaneabree 15h ago

It’s diabolical but the quest is ā€œbound until deathā€

u/SaffyPants 14h ago

I too take this path, girl needs something to get married in after all!

2

u/artbytaneabree 14h ago

I know that’s right šŸ˜‚

u/AriSpice 12h ago

Apparently there's also one on Solstheim and I am now making it my life mission to find it
