Sometimes you spend all that time looking for a fancy mage hat, when it turns out that just a simple low-level hood will do! You can see the sort of things I’ve used in my profile, but what sorts of low-level mog items have you incorporated into your transmogs that totally completed your look?

There’s a lowbie pair of mail hands that’s actually just wristlets. Paired with the right top it can make for a gloveless look for hunters and shammies. I forget what the item is called but I think it drops in the Wailing Caverns. I use that with the Noble’s Fancy Suit on lowbie characters.
i’m iffy about big gloves, so when i found those bronze 'nilla gloves, they were a perfect enough match for my warrior’s outfit, in gold/bronze/fire ^^
Oh, that they are!
I hate how 90% of leather items look, so most of my RP outfits consist of low level (albiet often rare) cloth pieces. The downside is that when I RP in level appropriate zones or in the Arena, I have a tendency to get one-shotted by mobs.
On a tangential note, I can’t wait for patch 8.2 to hit so that you can hide all gear slots except for pants! Here’s hoping that in the future we’ll be able to mog gear outside of our class’ specialization!

Wait, that’s a thing? They’re making more gear slots hideable?
Everything except pants will be hideable as of June 25.

That is glorious. That alone is worth a whole dang patch. All I ever wanted was to just run around in pants and a shirt. Why did this take so long?

IIRC, they were originally hesitant about it because they wanted to have classes maintain distinctive silhouettes and looks. They’ve been incrementally reducing restrictions- first helms, then shoulders and belts, etc.
During a Q&A I think someone asked if they could hide yet another slot and they were like, “Sure,” which was almost immediately followed by, “Well why can’t we hide everything?” after a little bit of wondering about it, they went ahead and said okay to that too.
WoW’s getting so old and transmog options have gotten to the point where trying to enforce any semblance of specific look based on general class has likely been tossed out the window. With changes to the UI, tooltips and addons, people have a much better idea of which character is which class- when i matters.

I found myself making a satisfying transmog outfit for this DK using only stuff from old content (the only thing I regret is not having the Corrupted Ashbringer to go with it)

A vast majority of the transmog items I use are from classic or other early expansions. I like to dress a lot of my characters up in civilian clothing when in cities, and there’s very few items post-WotLK that offer that. I find a lot of the more typical class items from later expansions look ridiculous or just plain ugly too, so there’s that.

I’m in the same exact boat. I always felt that bulky gloves on a hunter seemed more cumbersome than anything.
The gloves that finally brought it all together were some random quest reward green from the Northern Barrens. Simple, small, fingers are free, and the fact they are black means they can go with a lot.

That puzzles me, as most of the armor these days basically looks like the same mess of spikes and skulls as every other piece.
Hence them seemingly abandoning that position, these days.
There is only one position Blizzard will never abandon, and that’s “no high elves.”
They need the motivation of having absolutely no discernible reason for something in order to stick with it over the long haul.

…and then there was the time when I changed professions just to wear a specific set of goggles. >_> I guess there are extremes on both end of the transmog scale!
If they ever put them in I’ll roll one to do walk-up selling felweed.
When I first started playing I had no idea what transmog was. I’m from Runescape, back in the early 2000s, you wore your adamant armor and you were a beautiful green snow pea.
So when I started getting green items that were ‘of the Whale’, ‘of the Owl’, so on so forth… I used to think that transmog meant you could take the features as described in the title and glue them on to the armor you were currently wearing. So if you had something from the owl, I thought it meant that you could put feathers onto whatever you were wearing. If you had something from the sage, you could inscribe runes, if you had a wolf the you could have claws/fangs…
I was wrong.

Dark, Embossed, and Inscribed Leather Pants are some of my favorites for leather wearers of any level–they evoke, for me, a feel of weathered and dingy old simple pants that are a bit tight fitting.
There’s also a few low level pairs of cloth pants that remind me very much of denim.
There’s also the semblance of like, the Legion reworks also affecting the visual perception of each class. Most classes have unique effects on weaponswings and casts nowadays, so the PvP silhouette issue is generally a non-issue nowadays since you have such distinctive ability effects between everyone. Also the fact that people tend to use class-colored nameplates and stuff too.
Also for the longest time I used to use the Vanilla-era big leather cuffed boot models since they looked pretty great with everyone. And Milladee’s headband is still the best (and pretty much the only real) headband model in the game.
