As mentioned, I'd like to see armour separate from clothing. Possibly in the following slots, so that you can mix and match (I'm a little tired of every other person I meet wearing potato sacks or dressed as 80s punk rockers) such as: upper body, lower body, full body (composed of the previous two such as dresses, jumpsuits etc), gloves, footwear, headwear, jackets (such as coats, blazers, Tunnel Snake jackets, fur coats etc - possibly even temperature awareness on the challenging mode) and accessories.
Then, there is the armour, which can be placed on top (with the exception of jackets, they could go on the outside of armour perhaps), which can fit into similar slots, ranging from things as simple as using pots, pans baking trays etc tied to the body (á la the furnace door in Back to the Future Part III), through to sports equipment such as American football shoulder pads and shin guards (is that what you call the ones that cover the front of the legs?), through to bulletproof vests, finally coming up to power armour components (though they can only be fully effective if you've got all the pieces together). Maybe it can be done in a way that at certain defence levels of the armour, some bullets from certain damage level guns don't affect the health, until the maintainance level drops too low. Though perhaps blunt force can still do damage.
