RDM and SMN have their own unique looks which aren't ever represented outside of the rare piece of job specific gear. There may be what? 3 actual redmage outfits in the entire game?

I don't mind keeping artifact gear/job quest gear unique to the job. But I think all other gear should be able to glam as people feel fit. It's just so frustrating not being to express my femininity because I don't want to play WHM and am stuck wearing black cowls all the time. White mages aren't the only class who likes white, skirts, and ribbons Yoshi! On the other hand, not all whitemages want those things either.
The starter RDM gear isn't even a real RDM outfit, it's just mildly recolored items like the Wyverskin boots of striking, pick whatever bliad and a bleh hat. The only "RDM" style is the Duelist AF3 set.

Cannot comment on SMN.

Really everything's designed around those few classes and I do hope next expac we get some more cool RDM stuff....though the Hat is irreplaceable.
