There has been a few good looking mail sets - and often depends on the race / gender wearing them.
But for the most part, I don’t think the Blizz art team has ever really honed in on a clear theme for mail sets like they have for the other armor types.
Yes, mail armor is by far the hardest to get a good looking mog.
Mail Gear it literally the best looking armor in the game if you don’t count other armor types

I agree that most mail sets aren’t that good, but we still have some decent stuff that we can mix together and create something good. My current transmog for example, I loved the end result. But obviously it also depends on each person’s taste and preferences.
Also we have all these transmog sets from trade post and cash shop, that are usable by all classe, giving us more options.
I think this is part of the problem; they’re low population so they’re at the bottom of the priority list when new armor designs are being whipped up/reworked. One might even deduce that leatherworkers don’t bother filling out their mail armor crafting specialization tree because, aside from hunters, the crafting demand isn’t worth the points invested in that tree.
I speculate that devs give it low priority and so do player-crafters.
Mail is definitely the ugliest armor type. ESPECIALLY for hunters. Evokers and Shamans can have some cool looking sets but hunter sets are always unfortunate.
Mail’s biggest problem is that it went the longest with only two classes, so there’s less total sets to pull from.
Anything else is a skill issue.
Mail armor sets look like the salvaged remnants of a plate armor set its so bad lol
The Chainmail Tabard, makes them all look good!
I think it is the Dragonrider harness. I love it.
If we’re just talking about mogs - mail offers plenty of options.
As for the actual value of the armor - elemental shaman is basically an armored mage with healer abilities and a portable tank. Still my favorite class.
What else is there?
As a Tauren Shaman the mog struggle is real. I usually hide most slots and use a few Tauren heritage pieces.
Yes, the transmogs are overly bad and the armor doesn’t protect you at all. Worse than the protection leather and cloth provide.

All the more reason to bring the Warden in as a Mail-wearing Blink Tank class.
It provides options for both cool mogs and update to more classes with it.
Plate and cloth have the best mogs, no contest.
While leather has some cool mogs, they are more limited in some ways, for example, zero leather bikinis, not that anyone needs to wear bikinis. But leather does have the most sports bra options.
idk, I’m not a dungeon player, just open-world, and man what we get is not that great. My main is a bmhunter and trying to put together a decent mog is hard - though tbf it isn’t easy with leather either - just a little bit better.
Ab-so-lute-ly agree. I am SO jealous of the better looking leather appearances…
