I work with fashion designers all the time and from what I see the two biggest issues with armor here is: 1 Horrid asymmetry. Massive gaudy gloves, shoulder pads, or what even on one side. On occasion, the look works if done with style, but if you don't know the rules for asymmetry don't use it. On a side note, I think the Anet designer is starting to get this, as I am seeing less of this style. 2 Unisex armor. Again in fashion and most every day looks clothes have a different look for each sex. Simple rule, use it. 3 Finally, a non-fashion tip would be variety. Some people like sexy fantasy styles, others don't just do a nice balance. Done.
