    Af gear? Yep, definitely. Whm, ast, blm(except sb) were clearly designed for females with a male protag as an afterthought.
    Quite frankly, most of the healers attire look whack on males too.

    Regarding BLM, the only set I can think of where you can make that argument is the Goetia set, and even then, it's not clear-cut - nowhere near as bad as healer sets or SMN. ARR AF is very much not feminine and is even showcased by a male character, and the rest have distinctive male/female versions so as to render the argument moot. Male versions tend towards conventional robe designs (or coats for ARR), whereas the trend with female ones has to been to accentuate parts of the female body. The worst you can say of them is that they're not the most imaginative robes. There are often much better role sets - e.g. this expansion has had the Deepshadow, Shadowless (not quite Ascian but similar enough), Yorha-53, Augmented Law's Order and Cryptlurker sets (although I like the healer one better) which all overshadow the AF.
