Skyrim: 22 Best Lore-Friendly, Non-Skimpy, but Still Sexy Armor Mods for Females
For your warrior:
Faraam – also known as “comfyknight” this armor is basically a Nord girl’s best friend.
Ebony Valkyrie – I love how this armor looks like black oil, shimmery and badass and the like!
Eisenplatt – this can be a skimpy armor if you don’t wear the skirt with it, but the armor looks heavy enough that I’ll let it slide …
Empire Mercenaries – this is the best armor for an Imperial character IMO and has great details!
Northgirl – a very form-fitting chainmail armor for your Nord.
Plate armor – another great armor from ZZjay’s set, this is perfect for your Imperial to knight around in.
Freya’s Raiment – a hot mix between armor and dress, as you can see … I can’t seem to find the original link for this armor any more so if you want me to upload it, just let me know!
For your forsworn:
Einherjar Brigandine – I think armor might actually be meant for a male but I think it works well on the female Forsworn, too.
Ling Ciel (Vanille Armor) – an import from Final Fantasy XIII that looks perfect in Skyrim somehow.
Anyway, these are just my personal favorites that make for gorgeous screenshots. Let me know what your favorites are and keep checking back on my blog … I’ll be posting an article on my Favorite Male Armors, as well as a Best Skimpy Male & Female Armors post (will be hilarious) soon!
If any of the links in this post don’t work, just let me know in comments and I’ll upload the file to my site just for you!
For some reason none of the text on your site on any pages are appearing for me, only the images.
Very strange. Did you try refreshing your cache?
How’d you know I was looking for armor just today? Unfortunately, I was looking for my male character but a few of these have male versions.
Haha, not to worry, I have a male armor post lined up!
These are definitely some very sick armors, albeit not exactly as ‘lore friendly’ as stated :P
I like these, especially the Yurika one.
My favorite of all, though, is Tribunal armor
Silverlight armor (with the chainmail it is not exposing but very form fitting) also looks good
Hey what skins/face etc is the blonde hair character?
Hi! Can you upload the Yurica armor? That stuff is badass! Great site and love the Skyrim posts!
Thanks for the list, those armors look great! Since finishing my new PC build, I’m getting into Skyrim again (because now I can actually run it decently) and am looking for nice looking armor mods like these.
Does anyone happen to know what this armor is? I saw the picture used as an example for an animation mod, but the armor is incredible.

You’re welcome! I also just got a new PC and just vanilla’d my game so I’m back to modding square 1 :D Finally get to try out those performance-killing ENBs! I’m also 99% sure that armor is the Shadow Fang armor that comes in the TERA armors pack for Skyrim. Looks really HD up close :)
You’re awesome! That was exactly what it was.
Gotta say so far I’m loving this play through. I installed the HD textures, Pure Weather, Real Water Two, Frostfall, iNeed, and a few other immersion mods and am trying to run it as role-playingly (and without cheating) as possible. Makes it a whole new game almost!
Great list! I actually haven’t seen some of these armours so I’ve got a lot to add to my options. :)
Can you plz put the links for download?
This is awesome! I’ve been looking for a list like this for ever! So many non-skimpy lists are just boring plate armors but this is exactly what i like!
Ashara Princess of the Woods is an armor i think you might also like!
Great article. Finally something for the non-perverts.
Hahahah thanks! Your comment made me die laughing :D
Hi I downloaded the Leliana one but the main armour piece isn’t showing up; any idea why?
Love the list , finally found a cool armor set for my battlemage, so thx. Would you mind telling me what sword that is with the Faraam armor tho? I cant seam to find it for the life of me ..
I believe it is one of the rapiers from Relics of the Reach mod!
Thank you! :D
What hair mods did you use? They look great!
Hello,
when I click the link to Rogue Sorceress it lead me to a retexture. I’m guessing the original file was removed for some reason, is there any other way to get it?
Here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8fvo3L3qhilNG14OU5SMHZhVHM/view?usp=sharing
Quick question, what face models do you use for your character? I haven’t found one quite as good as the one used here.
The dress one is now called Freya’s Raiment!
Ooh thanks for letting me know! Updated :)
Another thing too: It’s no longer being hosted on the Nexus. It is, however, on the Steam Workshop.
The original Rogue Sorceress seems to be gone from Nexus. The one standalone on the site seems to be an all-in-one. No separate boots/shoes or gauntlets/gloves allowed. Too bad, it looks nice.

Here’s my file for download Rogue Sorceress: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8fvo3L3qhilNG14OU5SMHZhVHM/view?usp=sharing
Got it. Thanks very much!
Its a shame yharnyam set is off nexus though, cant seem to find it anywhere too
I was able to find it on a Russian website. Jumped through hoops to get it. Seems to be 0.4, so I’m not sure if that’s the latest one. Should I try & throw it up on Google Drive or something?
Wow! This is excellent. I don’t mind sexy as long as it doesn’t distract TOO much from immersion & lore, and this list of yours fits that exactly. Nexus is inundated with pervy “armors” that barely qualify being called ‘two strips of material’.
