Why does the male dancer artifact outfit have an ugly clashing green shoulder pad?

The outfit would be so much better without it. I get so jealous of the female dancers, but I don't want to race change SE.

I wish female versions of outfits could be worn on men, and visa versa.

I kind of like the male version better but can't wear it on my Viera T_T

Ironically you don't see the shoulder pad he's talking about but this is the official render for it.

This game has a rather egregious problem of ugly shoulder pads marring otherwise lovely pieces, its always an out of place should pad on one side that floats just above the piece, there are too many examples to count, but I really wish you had the option to hide them, a minor gripe, but it really does make gear look worse.

Don't have a screenshot but I've seen several male characters wearing it and to me it looks tan like it's a hard leather epaulet.

I agree it's rather....random. It doesn't even look like a shoulder pad nor match the rest of the outfit /shrug

Wow that is pretty out of nowhere. Still hate that the dancer legs have pants for the guys, at least subligars are a thing I can glamour.

I will trade the female DNC outfit for the males. Gimmie that random shoulder pad.

I think the male outfit would be OK if it was dyeable. I'm not huge on the stark colour palette. Also, it looks way better on that Hrothgar than it does on my miqo'te, haha. ;; Though, the shoulderpad is weird... how did I not notice that before? XD
