Light Armor Mods Skyrim
Drakul Armor – An amazing vampire armor that is also perfect for a battlemage. Breton Knight – This badass armor is great for an evil mage or Thalmor character. Lord Marshal – This could be great for a warrior, but the many-faced helmet makes me like it better for a mysterious mage! Shilard Fitz-Oesterlen – Yes, the outfit is a little. Starting off pretty light, Stormlord armor is on the more lore-friendlier side of this list. Mod outfits Ulfric with this mod, making him a bit more imposing and a true Lord of the sons of Skyrim.

Long have I heard the salty tales of woe that there aren’t very many attractive armors for men because all people care about is making skimpy armor for female characters. Today I set the record straight: There are plenty of great armors for male characters, and I’ve listed a large assortment of them here for you to enjoy. From kilts to chainmail to robes to trenchcoats to silver plate, if you're looking for a nice set of light armor for a guy you should be able to find something that pleases you on this list.A few changes of note from the other armor and clothing lists I’ve posted:. No more vanilla armor replacers. Aside from a few outstanding exceptions in the Armor Packs section, every mod linked here is a standalone or a retexture variant for a standalone mod.
Much less low-res stuff. By popular demand I’ve opted to omit most of the lower-res stuff and focus on armor that has great quality. Much fewer recolors and minor retextures (for the most part).
These lists are meant to spotlight new and interesting armor, so the armors listed here are generally unique in some way, aside from a few recolors/retextures that I thought were particularly creative or difficult to search for. If you need silver Elven, gold Ebony, red Blades, purple glass, green Nightingale, skirts replaced with pants, etc.
They are easily searchable on the Nexus. Speaking of Nexus I will no longer be linking Steam Workshop mods, for reasons that range from frustration over the utter chaos of their website to their appalling handling of the paid mod system. Pictures! I tried to select pictures that best showed off the male versions of these armors, but not every author has decent photos posted, so don't judge me.
I realize that picture links should have been a feature built into all of my apparel mod lists from the start, but better late than never, right? You’re welcome.And with that, let’s roll that beautiful armor footage for all you underdressed menfolk.
As always, make sure to endorse the mods you like, donate to the authors you love, and offer polite feedback where appropriate.
