Boulevardier set

[Iscah]

The new Boulevardier set got discussed briefly in some other topics, but didn't get a dedicated thread.

With Pagos (and thus the materials) being available for a few weeks, prices on the set are coming down to affordable levels now, and I've noticed a few people wearing it.



Overall the set is... not standard fashion, but perhaps some people will like it as-is, and I think it has good potential combined with other pieces of gear.

The shorts will tuck into long boots, so they can be used for quite a different effect.

What do you all think of it? I'd love to see some pictures if you're using it in interesting ways.

Some glamours I made for my alt using parts of the set (and thanks to the Rising bringing lots of Lv70 people into places where I could try on their relic gear!):

Astrologian: Boulevardier shirt + shorts, Lv70 relic sleeves, Adept's Boots

Red Mage: Boulevardier shirt, Lv70 relic pants + boots, Eikon Armguards

The top is wearable with long gloves like the caster pvp tattoo set. Those trousers though
Still awaiting the day for good male glamour to arrive so I can switch back. I definitely wont for this set.

Those trousers though

I agree, they're a very odd choice. I would have thought gathered knee-length pants might go with this style - something like a shorter version of the Ala Mhigan crafter pants. Maybe with a frill on the hem if they want to keep that element of it.

And yes, I'd like to see what other "sleeve" handgear combines with the shirt. (It would have been nice if they'd made something as part of the set, so you can convert the shirt to being long-sleeved if you want. Or above-elbow cuffs like on the Eikon armguards' right side.) I've looked through the marketboard but I'm sure there are other things out there.

I think the Scylla gloves from Syrcus Tower might work with it as well? And the Drachen armour for a very stylish dragoon.

I don't like anything but the shirt, but I love the shirt.

What boots are those?

What boots are those?

They're the Halonic Exorcist's Thighboots. A lucky drop out of Vault the other night running it for an FC mate, just after I'd looked at them on Arya (rdm npc) in Moar Donuts and wondered what she was wearing and where she'd gotten them.

I especially appreciate that they actually match the jet black dye, as so many undyeable pieces don't match any of our available dyes and are therefore impossible to match...

I actually solo farmed the 1st boss of the Vault to get those boots yesterday. It took me 40 minutes to get those boots to drop. Pretty easy to get now. Just patience.

The Vest itself looks cool. I went to check it out once I saw a dude wearing it then realized how hideous the neck ruffles are. Why ruin such a great top with those ruffles.

Oh, absolutely. I only called it lucky because I wasn't even looking for them, just opened my inv and they were my 51-59 dungeon freebie. Thank you, glamour fairy godmother!

It has bad dye option except if u wanna dye it darker.
I wanted it pure white but the vest turns into grey instead of white.
It annoys me that if a robe is oiginally lighter and has dark details into it, the dark parts turns into grey if u dye it pure white while jet black covers all and tunrs that detailed part bit darker.
