Skyrim’s Most Fashionable Light Armors Ranked

[@theWelshWizard]

What's your favourite Light Armor set, Wizards? 👇

[@Prak_Giggles]

not a set but the Locket of Saint Jiub is pretty nice

[@Capitano449]

Pleas make top 20 havy amor sets in skyrim

[@georgemcfadden680]

Glass armor is cool.

[@georgemcfadden680]

Nightingale makes me feel like a medieval batman, taking down criminals in the night, which is ironic if you think about its origin

[@georgemcfadden680]

Just watched the video and we both agree glass armor is the goat

[@levelupavailable1710]

Will wait patiently for Heavy Armor.

[@djm6683]

This is a wizard. He does not understand heavy armor

[@theWelshWizard]

I’ll try and get it to y’all soon 👍

@@djm6683Enchanted daedric armor 😗

[@butwhataboutdragons7768]

Nordic Carved is my favorite of the base game. Black and silver is a nice combo, and all the fur is much appreciated in Skyrim. I also liked the Blades Armor a lot. Honestly after a decade of new modded armors and overhauls I barely remember any of the others though!

[@levelupavailable1710]

@@butwhataboutdragons7768 the Blades armor is one of my most favorite as well. It was very unfortunate when it wasn't as good of an armor in oblivion but I hear you can reach the armor cap (567) with any armor in Skyrim and that's a good!

[@liamdoyle2677]

Honorable Mention: Leather Scout Armor. Very practical with multiple pockets, fingerless gauntlets, light weight, a water bottle and a cool color scheme!

[@Joffie69]

Had to search the comments to see if anyone else mentioned this.. its my go to light armor in the first half of my playthrough. It just looks awesome! Its the same with the Silver armor for heavy!

[@Juicedbelmont]

It looks really great with spellbinding too

[@AthosZ92]

Protip: use the torturer's hood with the daedric mail for maximum swag. You're welcome.

[@georgemcfadden680]

Thank you fine sir

[@oathkeeperofoblivion972]

Isn't it the same model as the thieves guild hood?

[@una1600]

Yeah, torturer's hood and thieves guild hood are the same model, theives guild hood just has an enchantment.

[@davidbjjkoran3563]

guild master hood 👋🏻

[@Orthane]

I don't care if you're a hardcore Imperial Loyalist, you can't argue about the Stormcloak Officer set being one of the coolest sets in Vanilla Skyrim.

[@GreatDezmundo]

Yeah but tullius's armor is great too

[@Karizmatyc]

Sometimes I side with the Imperials just so I can get that armor set

[@s4ndr3x98]

​@@GreatDezmundo true

[@jonathanprince707]

I wish the Daedric Mail came with a head piece. Missed opportunity to include the Daedric Face Masks from Morrowind if you ask me. But CC content does leave a lot to be desired.

[@joshfournier8217]

i think i saw somewhere that the helm that comes with it counts as light armor for perks

[@makeshiftusec992]

Prob giving the player space for a priest mask or some other type shii

[@inductivegrunt94]

Stalhrim armor will always be my favorite light armor set, mostly because of the mix of furs and ice together in a perfect combination. What can I say, I like the cold aesthetic it's got going for it.

[@RosheenQuynh]

Absolutely same!

[@kingsplex8974]

whenever I go to start a new heavy armor playthrough I remember the beauty of stalthrim and suddenly use light armor

[@Seafarerpwns]

Blackguard armor you get from Glover's house is a chef's kiss.

[@masterneloth]

Phenomenal as always! The Remnant Agent is the most colorful and beautiful and I’m happy they got where they were.

[@theWelshWizard]

Thanks man! Glad you agree 🧙‍♂️

[@duskbringer4583]

@@theWelshWizard So a question... How high would had new Thalmor armor made it?

[@peger]

7:58 fun fact. if i recall in lore that's what most piece of armor was. A outer shell of Dwemer constructs use as a armor. A true dwemer armor supposed to be very rare. Ancient Falmer and Nightingale are my top piece of armor. Elven also look preaty nice.

[@crackedjabber]

There's something about that accent that just makes the puns so much better. Another great video.

[@paladin-ksai7667]

amazing Video, cannot wait for the heavy armor version of this keep up the amazing work

[@BaldianOfIbelin]

I still think it's absolutely hilarious that all the "mail" armor either they do not have chain mail at all or at best it is never the main material of the armor

[@TheAdaoo7]

Tbh nightingale looks absolutely great but seeing as the armor always has an enchant and u can't get an unenchanted version without console commands

[@shawnberry760]

This is my favorite series of all time. Anything Breton or Bosmer and I am in. Love your content.

[@Lesicko01]

The Amber armor made me think of a medieval Aquaman.

[@TheRealW.S.Foster]

Although I've never played light armor-using builds that often, I can definitely say that my personal favorite armor was the Blackguard Armor from the Dragonborn DLC. For would-be thieves, it's practically vital because it offers the best enchantments that are geared for that playstyle, and it looks pretty good to boot. If I were to do a thief build right now, I know for sure that I'd roll with this armor, and I'd double down on it by pairing it with the Bow of Shadows; and although I'd love nothing more than to equip the Gray Cowl to make a Gray Fox character, I can't for the life of me get over its one major drawback, that being the instant hostility it triggers in guards.

[@facux18]

It is such a crime that the Ebony Mail is heavy armor lol Your videos are always so well put together, thanks for the awesome content!

[@zacharymcvicker5820]

My favorite has always been the Nightingale Armor, but there are a few sets from the Creation Club I haven't used yet, like the Amber Armor, but I do gotta say that Stahlrim Light Armor looks freaking amazing

[@zacharyrichard8228]

1. Great work as always. It may be an opinion piece but this video is amazing all the same 2. I think the nightingale armor is the best for me, just cause i think it is the most cohesive set in the game and brings out my inner edge lord 3. Heavy armor next plz. I think heavy armor has some of the best designs in any medieval style video game

[@alpacaofthemountain8760]

Great video! Will try these sets out

[@joshuapatrick682]

Only reason I do the monotonous TG questline is for that sweet drip

another great video to relax with while gaming

[@ArtyomMikitich]

7:17 - 7:21 You goodamn right! I continue my prolonged Skyrim playthrough and several weeks ago I found myself in simular situation - all armor feels like "skins" in multi-player games.

[@thorin5591]

I always end up playing a dual wielding assassin with ancient shrouded armor with mehrunes razor and a dragonbone dagger.

Awesome - would love a heavy version too.

[@opheliamoonrose4316]

I have another question, most esteemed wizard! How do you get your game so bright and shiny?? It's incredible!

[@SilentPython284]

ive been searching far and wide for the best looking mod to make armour feel more realistic and yours is perfect, i love how it makes it feel much more layered and was wondering what your mod/mod load order for that was

[@PowerfulRift]

I like the Nightingale Armour it’s badass!

[@Flood520]

Well, I'll never be able to unsee the Angry Bird elven helmet.

Can I just say your voice is soothing just like the calming thum I was typing this in your voice 😂💣👌

[@lordreptilestormblade1749]

for revealing light armor sets, you have the forsworn set, and the dark seducer set. There is also the fur set but only one of the three variants of the torso piece is revealing.

[@Will-fe3xw]

Thank you for this video

[@nn-db4fw]

Cool video! Could you create a video of cool armor combinations including cloth parts? I am too lazy to do that myself, plus it would also be great to see what other people could come up with that I might have overlooked in the game. Don't think so much about the Armor Rating as it's no problem to reach Armor Rating cap with a single part from all armor types in the game, even one piece of the Fur Armor, legit.

[@Shadowwall]

The Wizard of Saint's Row with those purple colors and fluer de lis

[@VenturedMoon]

Do thanks for showing me the Nightingale armor because now I can finally fulfill my stealth dreams

[@Christina-g4s]

The enchantments are kinda naff. Inferior to brotherhood, doesn't suit a thief.

[@GOREilla.]

Imho including creation club items are undesired by many.

[@fabriziodefrancesco7083]

yeah, and "including" sounds euphemism out of twenty listed armors, EIGHT are CC ones 🤔..almost half...

[@Hari-Harmonies]

For me, the thing that stops me from wearing the elven armour is how chunky the gauntlets are. Hate that. Along with the thalmor themselves.

[@KilimanjaroG]

17:07 no ******* way, a Megadeth reference!!!1!!1!1

[@AsterikTeenus]

Honestly I prefer the studded dragon scale over the original, it’s more conservative with the bone use and looks more flexible. It looks simpler, not overly designed, easier on the eyes in my opinion. Still don’t like the helmet on either tho.

[@angelosusa4258]

I do agree with this list my personal favorites are crusader, nightingale and remnant

[@Adam.K901]

Seriously what where they thinking when they designed the saints and seducers armor.. 😭

[@martabachynsky8545]

It's "cheesecake" armor on females. My husband likes to put it on Lydia. 🙄🤣

[@kaiserzero1077]

I know it looks tacky but having the nightingale hood onto the vampire or thieves guild master cuirass is so good.

[@Bruh_Im_Dead]

Honestly, I really love the Remnant Agent armor set; but Nightingale is cool too.

[@glowing_clod969]

I always grab the diadem of the savant when i go light armor since while looking like a circlet it counts as light armor.

[@Ollyatlas]

4:55 I feel like wonder woman wearing that

[@RosheenQuynh]

I adore Stalhrim armor though I'm personally not a fan of any of the helmets in the game except for Dragonplate. And so that's what I wear 😅 I'd kill for a mod that Stalhrimifies the helmet!

[@ms.blackfire2927]

my favourite armour is dwemer armor, I love gold, I love the dwemer, I love dwarves, so I would have to go with that but I do agree there's so many beautiful and awesome looking light armor and the glass armour does look pretty good, it used to be a favorite doing some of my earliest playthroughs when I was younger that? or the elf armour

[@JKrain02]

Mine is the Spell Knight Armor, I love the Iron version with it's yellow sash

[@Copperkaiju]

I love glass armor and it looks great with the Krosis mask. Krosis had little green rust on it in older versions that matched almost perfectly with the glass armor's green and gold color. You did not include the hold guards armor? The Whiterun guard is iconic. 💛🐴

[@otakuneko]

I'm a bit sad that Elven Hunter Armor wasn't on the list it's one of my favorite looking armor! The scratches and dents and the leather replacement and the red cloth around the waist i always pair it with a torturer's hood

[@docireland]

I rock the Leather Scout Armor till I get the Nightengale armor. Easily upgradable and ligh5 enough to carry a couple extra hoods and gloves for specialized activities (alchemy, smithing, etc.)

[@illiaJ5622]

Justice for Dawnguard Armour! (not a fan of the helmet though, and I ususally don't run with shields)

[@chomperplayz8752]

love the effort you put into your videos, is there anyway to fix the arcwind word wall glitch?

[@TheOriginalCrypticArchives]

I kinda wish there was a light or heavy dragon priest armor that you could find. The armor we see them wear looks badass to me.

[@cuckoophendula8211]

The glass armor on guy characters definitely looks great, but I unfortunately can't say the same about the female version :/

[@shivubu8008]

What graphical overhall are you using ? It makes evrrything look soo beautiful.

I like your videos, but was it really necessary to have 1/3 of the armour as CC gear? Personally, I'm an admirer of the Nightingale and Vampire sets, for sheer aesthetic.

"Who would wear THAT." Me: Uhh... Yeeaaaah...

[@CloudsGirl7]

This is all subjective, after all, but I say that the style of glass armor seen Morrowind looks better than that of Skyrim. (Typical. It takes Dunmer to fix what Altmer leave unfinished.) My personal favorites (from my rather vanilla experience) have always been dragonscale and scaled sets. Scaled gives a balance of ruggedness and comfort, as well as a nice Nordic motif, and the dragonscale armor... Well, yeah, look at it. 😆 For it, a dragon-slaying motif fitting of the Dragonborn, as well as more protection.

The studded dragonscale midsection looks more like it's supposed to brigandine than just leather to me.

[@xenoplayz4524]

Glass is the best imo but another great looking light armor is the scout leather armor looks great on female characters early on in the game.

[@justdominik9812]

Honestly its harder to look for armor set that doesn't look good than it is for one that looks good.

[@Spinworth]

Interesting the robes you use for your player character, do you plan on sharing your modlist for the UI and lightning?

[@bananacraft69]

tbh I forgot glass armor existed. But how could you rate it higher than the nightingale armor?!

[@AVH8TOR]

I’ve been using Nightingale armor forever. Everytime I try something else I go back. That’s why I’m here lol. I never go with heavy armor because with the right smithing, and light armor perks you can easily max it out. Then it’s just as good as heavy armor, without all of the drawbacks.

[@Christina-g4s]

Nightingale armour is actually pretty terrible. One handed and lockpicking gauntlets, illusion hood muffle boots And stamina and frost chest piece. Outside of looking kinda cool it's enchantments don't suit a thief play style, or a rouge. Rubbish assassin garb.

[@michaelgunnels9694]

I must say the blackguard armor is a much better thieves guild armor

[@horace7346]

A lot of the alternative armor sets are from Elder Scrolls: Blades, an Elder Scrolls mobile game. I know cause I’ve played it.

[@Mortvent]

Fashion side.. the forsworn and fur armors are very nice. Certain versions look good on females, and others look better on males. They might not be anything noticeable stat wise, but they do have a nice look to them

[@rango6267]

Dragonscale Armor is m'y favorite. Glass amour is nice but with time it looks to flashy
