    The only issue is, could the system handle it? Generally we can only glamour items of the same type - headgear into other headgear and so on. Could they make the belt slot accept other items from other categories, or would they have to make a second version of every pair of glasses in the game that are classified as waist items?
    If they can make level 1 costume gear, they can absolutely do it. All they need to do is make that level 1 "special effect" gear glamour over the belt slot. Also the glamour dresser will apparently let you drop things into the belt slot, but the item is just gone after.

    The reason we haven't seen this thus far is that there would be no way of "turning off" that gear slot if the effect got annoying. In another game, the "special effect" slot was basically a mount, eg you walk at normal speed/fly-at-mount-speed for wings. So you would get conflicts if the special effect let you do something that other players can not do.

    Like, the game really has no reason not to do the "wings as a mount" type of effect, as long as they are flying, and it limits combat. But if an effect was only available by being glamoured over the belt slot, it has to function even during combat. So adding anything like decorative wings would not be able to make the player fly, at best they would sparkle, or enable a different move set that takes into account the decoration, but that still requires as much work as adding another emote.

    One way of resolving both (at least for something that would make the character fly) would be to have a "wings" effect glamoured over the belt slot, but to actually fly requires summoning a specific invisible mount that makes your character fly (a la superman) and if you don't have the wings, well it just comes off as superman.
