"Ebony Mail" with Ebony boots, gloves and helm. And to that I use a two-handed hammer Volendrung. Just look to darn good, defently the rare Ebony mail.
Hide armour. I like light armour that would not hamper movement. I like it to be without leg armour (my TES chars never wore trousers) Unfortunately hide is the only armour where the feet of the char visually are really separated from the body. I don't know why. So I use fur armour, that without trousers and with shoulder piece, or leather armour (if it is too cold to go with bare briast).
im not a big fan of shiny armours myself i like leather because it looks rugged and with the times it also looks practical or wearin every day and cheers for the link psizombie
I had given Aranea a bunch of stuff to carry and later noticed her hair looked really cool. Had to check her inventory to see what she had put on. It was a forsworn head dress. Have to say it looked pretty good on her. Later I picked up Solitutde armor off a dead guard (died in a dragon battle out in the streets of solitude) gave that to Aranea to carry and she put it on too. I had her wearing a forsworn headdress and solitudes armor for quite a while because it looked cool.
