Carved Nordic with an Ancient Nord Helmet. I picked one up accidentally (Nord Helmet) and out of the blue put it on with my Carved Nordic set.

Btw, Carved Nordic is the best armor in entire game.

I wear fur armor with the fur-lined boots (boots that go with the noble clothes set) because the clipping looks good. The fur armor's leggings show through giving the boots a furrier, wrapped look. Its especially better than the regular fur boots from the armor set.

In addition, I've found that the fur on the Wolf guantlets blends in with the look rather well, and from an RP standpoint makes sense if you've completed the Campanions' questline. To top it all off, to get that Conan-esque feel to the whole thing, I wear the Ancient Nord Helm. In most light the metal's colorization on the helm does not clash with the Wolf guantlets, but no, they don't technically match. Its only really annoying in heavy firelight or the more orangey environments, if I remember correctly. In daylight and dungeon lighting they match fairly well. The Stormcloak officer boots are a good match for the set if you are looking for meatier footwear, by the way.

The only problem is, I'd like to find a piece of more traditional body armor to use on occasions where my character goes out purposefully to do battle. The ebony armor makes the clash between the helm and guantlets apparent. Any one have suggestions?

Just curious but has anybody used dragon aspect (all three words) with a full set of Dragon scale? kind of looks like the dragon aspect is based off of that armor set, just wondering how it fits over that set?

It does look like its based off of it, but there are some minor differences. The curiass looks great IMO with some Aspect details sticking out around the collar bone and pauldron area. The helmet has the most differences (in a good way). The horns on the top/ back of the head are a bit longer and more spindly. The Aspect armor has a point in the front of the helmet (forehead area) where the Dragon Scale does not. It looks like it might be the top of the nose, upper mouth area of a dragon face This makes it look sooooooo epicI can only look at it for a few seconds at a time.

As I said in another thread, most black things go nice with nordic carved armor due to its black leather. Specially in helmets, as I haven't found gloves or boots that match it too well. That aside, I gave Teldryn Sero, the spellsword for hire, a morag tong helmet with everything else stalhrim. Little wierd in the beggining, but the scarf suits it quite nice. That aside I tried to find armor that matched with Stalhrim. Most acomplished set is glass, and that is a different tone... With stalhrim armor and the rest glass (except for shield which can be any of those two) you get an interesting look, but it still doesn't convince me.

Also, I've seen bonemold helmet with dwarven armor usually looks nice, as tones are similar under most lights. Red vampire armor or vampire lord armor with light chitin armor for the rest makes good look, specially because of the red. Wíth the black pair or vampire lord armor (again) looks nice with morag tong. Basically it's the same, but more sinister-feeling. I'll watch out for anything else. And any advice for stalhrim would be appreciated.

Anyone know what goes good with Konahrik?

nothing? No one else experimenting with the new and old armor?
