My characters always wear town clothes when they are in the cities. Exactly what depends on the character. Some might wear velvet and brocade, others might just go with simple leather pants and a plain top. Eventually I usually enchant my town clothes with Fortify Personality, to get better reactions from people.

Yup. My assassin uses black shirt and pants wiht black leather boots, my spellsword uses the blue upper class two part dress with fitting shoes. Until i replace them with fitting modded clothes, the one my assassin has currently is called Void Robe with enchantments of Robe of Gilb Tongues transferred to it,

it depends, if Haa-Rei is at home in Skingrad he wears a black and burgundy outfit. If he's at another city then he wears his travel robe. (Tan robe with protection enchantment.) he wears gold-trimmed shoes with both outfits.

Some of mine do, some just take off their helmet and gloves, and sheath their weapon. The ones who wear robes usually don't change, but one guy will dress up, usually in the burgundy outfit. Some stick with lighter armour, so it still feels acceptable, or at least just leave their leather boots on while changing to something basic for pants and shirt.

I remember one guy only wore leather boots, fur gauntlets, and blacksmith pants most of the time. On special occasions he'd even bathe! :laugh:

It really depends, Blue silks on some days, but earnst's fancy shirt with green silk trousers / skirt? with a green hood was my favourite.
But if I am a warrior / mage I tend to wear armour that passes for clothes, as I either tend to get an honourific from one of the counts early.
Or my current Khajiit character blends some amazon outfits with night elven armour, or just plain amazon, as she tends to fit the style.
But I always sheath my weapons as it makes little sense to carry a claymore in public.

Sure. Buffy changes clothes a dozen or more times a day. In town she normally wears casual stuff. For example:

Here's a couple more:

I usually end up wearing a brown shirt, light brown linens, and quilted shoes.

No idea why, but all of my characters have worn the outfit at least once.

Matthias has a penchant for the dramatic. Even in cities, he's going to keep his daedric armor and hood on. As a crime lord, he's got enemies everywhere and he won't dress 'normally' until he's in an absolutely comfortable setting.
The Arena being one. There's only one entrance/exit that's not difficult to keep an eye on while still enjoying the match. For this, he'll likely wear Sheogorath's Regalia.

Some of my assassins also try to 'normal' it up rather than walking around looking suspicious in their DB outfit. However the Morag Tong armor looks a little less conspicuous. Since it's leather, it just makes them look like a generalized rogue, or even hunter.

My guard character keeps her uniform on throughout most cities. And like a late guardsman, she'll only remove it to sleep or swim. Maybe some other occasions.

Oddly, casual clothing doesn't fit most of my characters.

As you can see by the rapid flurry of posts. casual clothes are not taken lightly.

Sarrah had clothes for every occasion. She normally wore elegant dresses about town, casuals at home, and grubbies for puttering around in the basemant. She loved Daedric Armor even though she started out as a pure Mage. In fact she was somewhat addicted to anything that struck her as 'dramatic'.

Angel was, for a long time, totally unaware of how she looked and would don some truly hideous combinations of clothes. When she found a solid black, zero weight robe, she immediately put it on and has worn it ever since, merely adding a zero weight, solid black hood. She likes to swim so her robe is regularly washed at the same time.

Hmm.. I tend to wear Baurus's casual clothes... After he died during the Battle for Bruma (in my game) I saluted him. Took up his katana and took down Mankar Camoran with it.

In the early days when wearing glass armor I always changed to a more casual outfit while in towns. But nowadays I wear a leather outfit along with Saviour′s Hide which feels casual enough, sort of down to earth. So now I only go to the local Fighters Guild to repair my gear and then I hit the town :)

My current character, an Imperial Agent, will dress in chainmail greaves, shoes and gauntlets with various tops most of the time. Only when necessary will she switch to her Shroud Armour - which is getting more and more, after the whole-sale slaughter of Bruma's guards, with more than a few civilians winding up with arrows to the face (It was self-defense, mostly!).

I briefly tried to play as a vigilante-type character, who would wear the green and blue burgundy outfit and some leather boots, then duck behind buildings and switch into whatever armour I happened to have (Leather at the time, I think) - a red traveler's cloak, and a cowl. I found role-playing as him a bit troublesome, though - as people would come up to me and activate quests whilst I was in my normal clothing, but then I'd go do them in my get-up and they'd still know who I was.
