Like I said before, if the Roe in OP's post actually volunteered to wear that, then clearly there is no problem. But there are glamours for other, more masculine pieces if that is a serious concern. However, if all endgame gear were to look differently on a female character vs. a male character, then that can be a very serious problem, especially when a female character would prefer to wear the male version or vice-versa.

    I mean, maybe it's just me, but I think the only people who actually want gear to look different depending on gender are the same types of people who want a chance to oggle strangers who might not necessarily want to be oggled at.

    ...and SE hasn't re-used gear designs since 2.1. Everything from 2.2 onwards has been original designs.

    As for gear being re-used. They either re-use, cross-job-design gear, or have i90 PvP have the same gear as new i90 PvE gear. The list goes on and on.

    I think there has been a misunderstanding here. This thread, to my understanding, is about making it so gear equipped to one gender has one appearance, and the exact same gear equipped to another gender has a completely different appearance. It has absolutely nothing to do with making new styles on new gear.

    As for new glamours, let's start with the following sets:

    2.2 WHM Gear

    Pilgrim's Robe
    Cashmere Robe of Healing
    Weathered Daystar Robe*
    High Allagan Coat of Healing*

    2.25

    Swansgrace Coat

    2.3

    Serpent Elite's Robe* / Storm Elite's Robe* / Flame Elite's Shawl* (Depending on which Grand Company you belong to.)
    Robe of the Divine Harvest*

    That's all of the chest gear released in the past two full patches that WHMs can wear that isn't "All Classes" or are direct upgrades of earlier gear which would completely justify a similar style(i.e. "Augmented" gear and gear that can be upgraded through use of Sands of Time). Not included is the Scylla's Robe of Healing, because that's what's being debated right now. The gear with the stars next to them are my personal recommendations for glamour, which is purely my own personal opinion.

    The only piece of gear that I think would look similar to anything from the past is the Cashmere Robe of Healing, which looks similar to a robe dropped in Sastasha/Tam-Tara Deepcroft/Copperbell Mines. The only difference is that, because the Cashmere Robe is craftable, it is also dyable, justifying it as a design copy.

    I already mentioned that gear is either cross-job or even cross-content. Like the Cashmere Robe of Healing which is just a copy paste of i90 PvP healer gear.

    You can't glamour i100 to something higher, so high allagan is no option. Wheatered is an option, but with how Sands aren't that hard to get now.. Pilgrim's Robe is cross-job, FC gear is for all casters. Only the Swansgrace Coat is for WHM. What is it, rank 38 PvP? Takes a nice grind to get there, even with FL.

    Just wanted to emphasize that when you look closely, the options are minimal. I just vouch for more options so we don't all end up looking the exact same. At least no cross job sets (why I love AF and the augmented option they gave us).
