This seems fishy. You can definitely go pantsless if you want but pantless transmog? I need to check this out before I believe it. Anyway, the reason WHY people has wanted to get rid of pants are mainly certain robes with cutouts meant to exposed skin on the sides. A popular version of this has been, in different colours on the Trading Post several times.
And let’s get real, the summer outfit on the trading post have supposedly swim gear but the ladies didn’t get a bikini bottom but more of a skirt with webbing hanging in the back.
Now for those that want some classic high fantasy look options have few and expensive circulating around some classic outfits for outrageous prices on AH. And they fit differently. For example, the “Jade” set look good on an elf, decent on a human and horrible on a troll, well the “pants” part is “bleeding” into the inside of the legs. These old sets are loved but need readjustment to fit properly.
I have noticed that many has been using the “bloodhunter” pants, but they are, the blood painted on the legs are a turnoff. and the top have a hideous amulet on it, but the coverage of the entire set is minimal. Anyone that want something looking like an actual bikini or a comics version of a Red Sonja outfit need to look elsewhere.
So, a suggestion. Take the Bloodhunter outfit as a base. Remove the blood, feathers and that hideous amulet. Cut it down to a clean top and bottom. Add some nifty pauldrons (with options) and a headgear in the form of a crown with cheek protection that doesn’t supress the hairstyle. Then drop the result on the trading post in various colours and different skins like mail for instance. Boots or sandals and a nifty belt to hang weapons from. Everything as an ensemble of individual parts and fully compatible with alternative gear. Ever noticed the Kadorei archers in the Battle in The Emerald dream? They do not wear much; I was surprised to see that. There is an interest in these sorts of things.
