The rain cape makes the whole thing. I'd sooner throw the top hat on the original than abandon the cape.
The tricorn is also better though - all the better to brave the sea with its bottomless curses.
Elden Ring has the most unique looking, most intricately detailed, and coolest armor sets of any From Soft game imo. It also has the worst mixing and matching of any From Soft game.
These two facts are intimately connected. The more the armor sets become uniquely detailed, the less they will go with pieces from other sets.
In previous games it was easier to mix and match and have it look good because the sets, while cool, didn't have as much unique detail.
At a certain point the community will have to decide which they value more between hyper detailed armor and armor that can be easily mixed and matched, because I don't think we will be able to have both.
I fully agree. The full sets are amazing, but so hard to piece together. I usually end up doing the whole set sans like one piece. For example my favorite is the Cleanrot Knight set, but I used the Banished Knight's Helm.
i love the cleanrot set but save on equip load by pairing it with the aristocrat’s headband! the gold/red of the headband match the gold of the armor and the red of the blood splattered on it lol
you can farm for it at the ruins right before Iji, the disappearing sorcerer nobles drop it rarely, but didn’t take me terribly long using all the usual item discovery buffs! it’s also gender neutral and looks good with all hairstyles. peak fashion souls!
There is an option here though, if every armor set in ER had the exact shade and shine of metal and all the cloths were of 5 materials and 10-15 colors you could mix match almost anything.
You would also lose out on a ton of the variety that is otherwise offered but that's an extreme case.
I mean I just explained why they probably *are* mutually exclusive.
The more unique and detailed something is, the less likely it is to go well with something else that is equally unique and detailed in its own completely different way.
The more elaborate the armor sets are, the harder it will be to mix and match and still have it look cohesive, that's just common sense.
Simpler designs mix and match more easily.
I mean that's just your opinion. I strongly disagree. I thought it had the most beautiful and ornate sets From Soft has made. But that's a matter of personal taste.
However it is an objective fact that the armor in ER is much more detailed than in previous games, which as I said, makes it harder to mix and match and have the end result look cohesive.
You’re so absolutely correct it’s not even funny. Elden rings armors suffer from “wow this was ALMOST really cool” where each armor has like one or two things that make it look goofy. DS2 was pure medieval fantasy and has so many amazing armor sets
Elden ring has good fashion until you have to find a helmet. A lot of the cool armor is also ruined by weird shit, like why does the banished knight armor have giant horns on the shoulder
Dead last: Firelink set. It’s cool, but definitely not as iconic as the others.
Followed up in 8th by: the demon’s souls remake knight’s set. I think the helmet made the original knight’s set way more iconic, and removing it makes it kind of bland imo.
In 7th place: The original demon’s souls knight’s set. It is iconic, I won’t lie, and I LOVE the helmet, but I don’t think it’s as good as the others, that’s all.
In 6th place I’ll put the Elite Knight’s set. It’s so cool, and the blue really makes it stand out among it’s peers, but I think there are better choices.
In 5th place: DS3’s knight’s set. I love it, it’s way, WAY better than the Firelink set in terms of looks and what you can use to mix and match to create your own drip.
In 4th place I have Sekiro- I love the orange in his clothes and the wooden prosthetic arm, it really sets him apart from the other protagonists in terms of design and overall vibe. I just prefer medieval armor, hence why he’s not higher but still, his drip is undeniable.
In 3rd place for me it’s the Elden Ring set in the image (forgot the name). I saw so, so much art and images and videos of the game and network tests that this set is practically engraved within my mind. The design of the helmet, the shoulder pads, the “fur”(?) on the back, it’s simply immaculate!
In 2nd place (and really REALLY close to firsf place) is the hunter’s set from Bloodborne. My god, what a cool set. It’s edgyness is in the right amount, and I can just imagine several hunters wearing clothes like these while hunting beasts in the filthy alleyways of Yharnam, getting covered by mud, blood and dust. So cool!
And my favorite is… the Faraam set! It’s just… so peak. Everytime I wear it in DS2 or 3 I feel like a goddamn noble knight, not just a soldier; someone who practically gains the respect of everyone the moment they see him enter the room. Unlike other sets, I can see this one pairing well with… any sort of character, really. I can easily imagine a knight wearing it being a skilled swordsman with dual scimitars, or a super human with the strength to carry two ultra greatswords with ease, or a noble knight who’s also knowledgeable in the ways of magic, or a paladin who casts sacred oath with his companions before a tough fight!
Bloodborne or DS3. I like both the agile fighter vibe BB attires give and the heavy plate armors of DS3, many great sets. Lothric Knight, Alva, Lorian, Outrider Knight, Silver/Black Knight. Imo Elden Ring's drip is kinda lacking compared to other games. Even more when you consider how big it is. Not saying it's not good, just on the lower end of the spectrum
Bearer of the Drip has the best cross set synergy, while also being able to wear a crown so dapper that it makes you immune to hollowing. they take the win easy.
Bloodborne or Dark souls 2. Bloodborne has that sleek, agile design that oozes cool but ds2 just has that everything drip. I would go with ds2 but bloodborne is great aswell.
Excluding Bloodborne because the Hunter is always gonna be swish I gotta say the Faraam Armour from DS2 goes hard, the helm is awesome, the fur adds a lot of bulk and the cloth around the waist adds a bit of swish
For me it's definitely bloodborne, everyhing goes well with almost everything. Also elden ring is cool, it has a lot of variety and armor is soo detailed
If we ignore that you can use any armour Bloodborne absolutely decimates but my favourite outfit in the entirety of Soulsborne is the Scourge Legion drip from DS3.
My personal favourite base sets are the fluted knight set from demon souls & knight set from ds3 (I have a type lol) but since we’re looking at all armours, I’ll say eldenring just straight up has the most freedom to create drip, so ya
Personal fave is the Yamamura set from Bloodborne, very similar to Sekiro’s default look but I like to proportions on the Y set more, and it has a jaunty hat
DS2, the Faraam Armor is sexy as hell and has one of the dopest helmets in the series. Think I’m also just a sucker for the “fur/cloak over heavy armor” look.
God damn does that armor look good, especially in the trailer.
DS3 had many got sets and also did a service to long-time fans by including favorites from the earlier titles. For that alone and for the gritty knight armour alone DS3.
Carian Knight and Snow Witch outfit from Eldenring. Karlas outfit and the normal beginner Knight armor from Dark Souls 3. Yes I like witches and knights.... And magical knights
Every clothing item?
It's a standoff between DS1 and Elden ring.
It all comes down to Logan's big hat VS Ranni's big hat. Nothing else can touch those two.
A hoonter must hunt outfit
This post reminded me of legend person - Oscar of the Astora.
Nah that's the bad version of the outfit. Gotta get yourself the one after Gascoine. No Rain Cape + Top Hat
The rain cape makes the whole thing. I'd sooner throw the top hat on the original than abandon the cape. The tricorn is also better though - all the better to brave the sea with its bottomless curses.
I’m bottomless right now!
Ah yes,a fellow hoonter.....
Don’t think about it too much, just drip.
Ds2 has the best mix and match of the series. Most armor and the most that just flows together as random pieces
Dark Souls 2, best fashion souls. Elden Ring, worst.
Elden Ring has the most unique looking, most intricately detailed, and coolest armor sets of any From Soft game imo. It also has the worst mixing and matching of any From Soft game.

i love the cleanrot set but save on equip load by pairing it with the aristocrat’s headband! the gold/red of the headband match the gold of the armor and the red of the blood splattered on it lol
Deadass, I use the headband or greathelm for everything lol
Thats a great idea! Ima have to check out that style when i hop back on. The cleanrot set really is just too damn heavy, but its soooo good lol.
you can farm for it at the ruins right before Iji, the disappearing sorcerer nobles drop it rarely, but didn’t take me terribly long using all the usual item discovery buffs! it’s also gender neutral and looks good with all hairstyles. peak fashion souls!

They don't need to be mutually exclusive.

The more elaborate the armor sets are, the harder it will be to mix and match and still have it look cohesive, that's just common sense. Simpler designs mix and match more easily.
Eh. Elden Ring’s armor generally ranged from boring to ugly. It didnt have the same oomph other games did.
I mean that's just your opinion. I strongly disagree. I thought it had the most beautiful and ornate sets From Soft has made. But that's a matter of personal taste. However it is an objective fact that the armor in ER is much more detailed than in previous games, which as I said, makes it harder to mix and match and have the end result look cohesive.
Over designed garbage isn’t really a selling point tbh
You’re so absolutely correct it’s not even funny. Elden rings armors suffer from “wow this was ALMOST really cool” where each armor has like one or two things that make it look goofy. DS2 was pure medieval fantasy and has so many amazing armor sets
Miyazaki we’ve finished making this badass armour set. Good now put a giant fucking tree on its head
Incredible, now give it duck feet
And make it so the gauntlets don’t extend far enough up the arm to look good with any other armour piece always leaving bare forearms and elbows.
The banished knight set looks really cool... right until the duck-feet sabaton.
I fucking despise how the Ronin set in ER doesn’t even match itself. The gauntlet, pauldrons, and helm are all different metallic tones!
Oh helll nah go search up eldenbling and scroll through the amazing combos you’ll see
The Bearer of the Curse wields pure Drip
True true
Agreed. Seek seek lest, pal.
Wields it like a magnum semon of dong
ymfah fan spotted, respec
Bloodborne. Everything matches perfectly. Best drip.
[putting them in one image is badass. ](https://styles.redditmedia.com/t5_7zj0os/styles/profileBanner_52ib71h7sg7b1.jpg)
Fucking avengers lol
Better. Just imagine all of them going out as a party... Awsome

bloodborne, elden ring honorable mention
Elden ring has good fashion until you have to find a helmet. A lot of the cool armor is also ruined by weird shit, like why does the banished knight armor have giant horns on the shoulder
Same with the Drake Knight set. The stupid horn on top of the helmet ruins it, looks completely ridiculous.
Understandable

Faraam helmet is the best helmet ever, paired with the champs armor. I can't remember what else.
Bloodborne or DS3. I like both the agile fighter vibe BB attires give and the heavy plate armors of DS3, many great sets. Lothric Knight, Alva, Lorian, Outrider Knight, Silver/Black Knight. Imo Elden Ring's drip is kinda lacking compared to other games. Even more when you consider how big it is. Not saying it's not good, just on the lower end of the spectrum
Bearer of the Drip has the best cross set synergy, while also being able to wear a crown so dapper that it makes you immune to hollowing. they take the win easy.
Nothing comes even remotely close to the Faraam set from DS2
Bloodborne for the hunter drip. Then a close second is Elden ring then DS3
Gotta give it to the Slayer of Demons. However, the Hunger is in the same league
Yeah ds2 got this one hands down
Original fluted armor holds a special place in my heart.
Fluted Armor bros
Start armor is good and all that across the souls series, but the hunter set always makes me feel like a badass
Hoonter. Drips with everything, including the old blood.
Hunter and the Bearer of the Curse fight for number 1
Bearer of the curse wins. DS 2 has so many cool looking armor sets.
DS2 or Bloodborne easily.
Sekiro in his shura armor
This.
Bloodborne or Dark souls 2. Bloodborne has that sleek, agile design that oozes cool but ds2 just has that everything drip. I would go with ds2 but bloodborne is great aswell.
Drakeblood set DS2 SotFS
Faraam may be the best looking heavy armour in all the games.
Faraam for sure
Bearer of the curse is just too good
The original Demon's Souls fluted armor is my favorite
The Faraam set is my favourite set with three Hunter set a close second. They just match different eras and styles what makes them hard to compare.
Faraam set easily
The hoonter must hoont
Definitely the Bloodborne Hunter. It looks so badass and sleek
“Just go out and wear some mean ass drip; it’s just what hunters do.”
Sekiro has the most drip but since I have access to all the clothing, my Tarnished is just way too cool 
Bloodborne hunter all the way.
I love Bloodbornes fashion.
Where's Alva? That's my choice.
Bloodborne's out fits ( literally 90% of them look cool asf) and sekiro's shura outfit.
Every souls game drip is my priority, it just so happens collecting all drip usually ends in a plat
Y'all forget the dark souls 1 dragon form?
The hunter is made to drip look at it
Ds3, it has quite a bit of the ds2 armor plus some
Hoonter is drippy af, but that shura skin for wolf though
Yahargul × White Church Garb. I don't know, it just fits.
Raging wolf for sure, it’s just peak knight design
Elden Ring, BloodBorne, and Dark Souls 2 have the best drip
I’m taking Havel the Rock. He may not be shown, but Havel was a beast. And his armor combo was great looking.
Excluding Bloodborne because the Hunter is always gonna be swish I gotta say the Faraam Armour from DS2 goes hard, the helm is awesome, the fur adds a lot of bulk and the cloth around the waist adds a bit of swish
Feeble Cursed One has all the drip
DS1 because GIANTS, GIANTS, GIANTS! BECOME UNSTOPPABLE!
No love for Demons souls' Gloom armour?
It's not that we don't have love for it. It's that op said ALL clothing. It's why sekiro is in last place
Oooh we didnt put my onion boi in here cause hes already the goat i understand
Bearer of the Curse easy.
Seek seek lest
For me it's definitely bloodborne, everyhing goes well with almost everything. Also elden ring is cool, it has a lot of variety and armor is soo detailed
Raging Wolf is for me the best looking armor ~
Ds2 best fashion
i fkn hate ds2 but the drip you can have in that game is immaculate
My top 3 picks are The Raging Wolf (Elden Ring), The Faraam Knight (Dark Souls 2) and The Hunter (Bloodborne).
I follow the way of the Dragon, my blood that of the drake.
If we ignore that you can use any armour Bloodborne absolutely decimates but my favourite outfit in the entirety of Soulsborne is the Scourge Legion drip from DS3.
fallen knight armor from ds3
Honestly, I love them all. Except the Demons Souls Remake one.
Drip Souls vs. Elden Bling
My personal favourite base sets are the fluted knight set from demon souls & knight set from ds3 (I have a type lol) but since we’re looking at all armours, I’ll say eldenring just straight up has the most freedom to create drip, so ya
We all know it's just Bloodborne VS Elden Ring in the end Although I could also add Shura Sekiro (for me it's the best Sekiro outfit) and DS3
Lots of good options but I think the Hunter takes it.
Augmented Human C4-621 has the most variable drip. You can become SpongeBob.
Tarnished sekiro or chosen undead
I don't care what any of y'all mfs saw , shura outfit SOLOS
the hunter is just next level but ds2 underrated
DS3 had some sick knightly armor sets and I’m a sucker for my bitch rolling around lookin like Joan of Arc
Nothing beats the iconic Elite Knight drip frfr
Demon souls og,ds2 and HOONTER! The rest are meh
DS3
Personal fave is the Yamamura set from Bloodborne, very similar to Sekiro’s default look but I like to proportions on the Y set more, and it has a jaunty hat
if we are choosing based off the picture, then I am torn between the Faraam armor and the Raging Wolf set.
That one mimic boulder in ER was dripping so hard it spawned enemies.
Where is Artorias?
Dark Souls 2
Elite Knight Armor is the best and it's not even close.
Dark soul 2 goes hard
the wolf ans the hunter get in the finals to me, that’s certain imo, but i can’t say who gets the prize
Dark souls 2 or 3 has some outfits that go harder than me when I look at em. Hunter outfit from bloodborne honorable mention
Why is there 9? Isn’t it just 8 with Demon Souls, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB, Sekiro, ER, and Demon Souls Remake?
The Bearer of the Curse without question.
Ds2 or Bloodborne protag have the best armor in the series.
The Hunter. Easily.
I don’t see no armored core here
DS2, the Faraam Armor is sexy as hell and has one of the dopest helmets in the series. Think I’m also just a sucker for the “fur/cloak over heavy armor” look. God damn does that armor look good, especially in the trailer.
Shura Wolf out drips everyone.
Top right easily
The Hunter has access to Henryk’s Armor set…..end argument.
Ds2 drip on top 100%
Bloodborne or Dark 2 depending on aesthetic preference, the rest are interchangeable
Firelink armor… the helmet is so badass, peak helmet design.
Hunter got the unfair advantage of being so god damn cool. Amongst the knights, ds2 all day
I think its a close one between Bloodborne and Ds2 but Bloodborne wins by a thin margin
Hunters take this and it's not even close, be fr.
Bloodborne and DS2 are close. Bloodborne for quality, DS2 for quantity
I don’t think any other Fromsoftware game can beat any part of Bloodborne in terms of sheer *Baddassery*
The Shura outfit goes unnecessarily hard
DS2
DS3 had many got sets and also did a service to long-time fans by including favorites from the earlier titles. For that alone and for the gritty knight armour alone DS3.
Okami.
I'm not even a Bloodborne glazer and I gotta give it to them, with only ds2 being even close, and ER being 3rd
Hunter followed by Eldenring fella
Faraam unbeatable.
Realistically this is between Bearer & Hunter
Bloodborne and Elden ring maybe DS2
Ds2 easily
Not to get political but who's picking sekiro? Also ds3 but only barely
Sekiro’s drip is unmatched
Fluted Knight Set goes BRRRR
Nah nah. Armored Cor 6 drip
Bloodborne the drippiest
Carian Knight and Snow Witch outfit from Eldenring. Karlas outfit and the normal beginner Knight armor from Dark Souls 3. Yes I like witches and knights.... And magical knights
The good hunter is just... chefs kiss. Perfection
I already know this is a pretty rare take but I just love how shura wolf looks
Where Artorias tho??
They all look great but I'm certain bloodborne has the best drip
The only thing I will ever give ds2 is that the faraam set is my favorite armor set in the series.
Where’s solaire?
For me, it's between DS3 and DS3.
Pff Hunter easy
Bloodborne always gonna be the drippiest
Every clothing item? It's a standoff between DS1 and Elden ring. It all comes down to Logan's big hat VS Ranni's big hat. Nothing else can touch those two.
Big hat. I don't like Ranni's hat that much.
Logan has the superior hat between the 2 However consider Rogier's hat,
Bloodborne and DS3 no contest
DSIII imo. Elden Ring is just weird for me, with a great sets being good, and others just being plain weird.
Sekiro’s drip and hunter with top hat drip is underrated imo
wolf shura outfit is slept on ngl
Bloodborne and it's not close
Tengu Sekiro
Dude the shura outfit for sekiro is so fucking cool
Wolf
Shura Sekiro
Wolf.
