I like the thieves guild armor.

Dont know why everyone loves the Nightingale armor so much, doesnt seem like anything special to me.
Also, doesn't anyone else find it kinda strange that you find suits of dwarven armour that fit a fully grown man in dwarven ruins?
If I am remembering this right dwarves/dwemer in TES are a type of elf and not actually short so it would fit a person. TES lore is random.
They...dare mock my favourite fantasy race by comparing them to the tree-dwellers? rrrrrrrRRRAAAA-Nah, it's elder scrolls, I can't be angry at them for long.

I read a book in Oblivion about an expedition into a dwemer ruin, which ended with the archeologists nearly getting squised by a centurion robot.

From that point on, I was hooked on everything about the Dwemer. When I found my first dwarven ruin in Skyrim, I had a squee moment. Then I grabbed metal from the ruins, melted it down and made a suit of armor. Then I squeed again! Dwarven armor may not look as fancy as elven armor, but it's made to last, thats for sure.

Dwemer

Always been my favorite, always will be.
Nothing beats looking like a steam powered knight.

Armour? Not really...

I like the Archmage robes... My orc looks absolutely fabulous wearing it.
How can an orc be fabulous? I don't think words orc and fabulous should even be used in the same sentence.
Nevermind that. Arch mage robes and fabulous shouldn't be in the same sentance. Seriously they don't even deserve to be called robes. It is a pity because I like most of the new robes(except for db and archmage)
My favorite Armor is the Nightingale. But the Kajiit tail going through it annoys me.

I don't really like any of the vanilla armors. Leather, and the Imperial armors look the best to me I guess. Orcish is nice without the helmet. Combine with a Steel Plate or Ebony helm.

Ebony and Steel Plate would be nice without the ridiculous boob swells which wouldn't be present on real armor.

I hate Dwarven, looks like a damn Steampunk C3PO.

My character spends most of her time wearing either nothing or mod armor. Or both. ;)

Daedric, of course! Red and black just works well together. Although I did skip the helmet in favour of a nice crown-like thing I dug up from somewhere. Works surprisingly well for a Khajiit warlock. Just a shame there's no tail armour or somesuch, feels like a rather obvious weak point.

I just like the idea of a caster wearing plate. Nothing like a good, comfy robe, but, you know... If you're in the tomb raiding business, you might end up taking a few hits here and there. Plus, you should always look slightly more awesome than your minions, can't have them getting any ideas.

However... While I adore Dwemers (being good ol' d0rfs but less typecasted), I really don't like their armour... It's like wearing a cardboard suit wrapped in gold-coloured wrapping paper or something. I understand that it's effectively old robot-casings, but it still looks rather silly. And I'd prefer a functioning robot, myself.

I like fur armor. Enchant it with whatever you like and rush into battle half naked like any true nord man would! Also there are several variants to the fur armor which means you can pick your favorite. Personaly I like the one with the shawl.

I am a fan of the Dawnguard armour in any colour but for my main characters I wear a full Dragonbone set as my Orc - I love how primitive and brutal it looks and it matches his Dragonbone weapons and Dragon slaying attitude.
For my Khajiit I wear a mix sometimes Nightingale and Dark Brotherhood gear, sometimes pure Dark Brotherhood.

I am gonna roll a Nord Male next and join the Dawnguard straight away, along with the Companions, I fancy mixing and matching Dawnguard and Wolf Armour and Dawnguard axe with a Skyforge steel sword - gonna name him Skarin ;)

Dragonscale for light and Daedric for heavy without a doubt. Ebony would definitely qualify if it wasn't for the weird shoulder pads.
