Or is it several check lists like "Swimwear" then "costumes" etc. Then do specific armors sets like Shisui of the Violet Tides count as armor or swimwear? Then what about the actual swimwear that is identical? It goes on and on.
Yeah some people are asking for this for immersion's sake, personally I feel that reason is long since gone due to XIV abandoning any sort of cohesive aesthetic but that's a different personal issue. I'm suggesting that the system FFXI uses is the best compromise for those people since it would put everyone around them in a generic catch-all Adventurer Outfit (possibly variants based on role) so that they don't have to see any oddball (to them) glamours but at the cost of not seeing say dungeon gear or raid gear as well. That seems a fair trade to me and if the immersion crowd doesn't like it then they can turn the toggle off and go back to how the game currently works.

Your idea of having the devs sort and make some manner of comprehensive list of "allowed" outfits is simply trying to overcomplicate the proposal and doesn't really help either stance.
