I love Nordic Carved armor.
Especially for females.
It looks elegant because of the patterns and the thick fur collar.
Yet strong and intimidating because of the scratches and the bulkyness.
Perfect for a battlemage I might plan on making. Using only frost magic and especially melee combat with a blade.
I also love Skaal armor, going to visit Solstheim with my witch (Who also uses frost magic as offensive magic.) just to get those clothes. I like her vampire armor, fits her very well, but Skaal armor seems nice for the colder places. Everytime she visits the greybeards she must have been freezing, even for a Nord. Female vampire armor is pretty revealing, so not exactly good against the cold. So yeah, that's the reason why I like Skaal armor, I can use it as a replacement armor for colder areas.
Edit: Forget about the battlemage, made her a barbarian without magic instead, still going for Nordic Carved armor though. And the battleaxe...so pretty.
