One thing that bugged me in Oblivion was that, say your character was female. You killed someone wearing some trousers for example. You loot the trousers, equip them yourself and it magically turns into a skirt. And, if you were male, and you killed someone wearing a skirt. You kill them, loot the skirt, equip it and it magically turns into trousers.
What i'm suggesting is that you can get Skirts and Trousers/Shorts as separate items. Which means the men could wear the skirts, and the women can wear trousers or shorts. I don't think this would be too hard to implement?
