Summary
Arise now, ye Tarnished for the Lands Between is ripe for the taking. But thou must remember, killing thy Elden Lords is mere diversion. For thou must prepare toslayin the trueElden Ringendgame, Elden Bling. Because if one is to become an Elden Lord, one has to look better than a wretch. Armor stats be damned, fashion is all that matters once players have gotten “gud.”
Luckily,Elden Ring’s armory is akin to a fashion designer’s wardrobe. Options range from being a literal hobo to an odd case of Kanye West taste, but there are styles in between. That might be overwhelming for those who are too busy worrying about Margit’s next appearance (whoops). Hence, allow this list to present the most fashionable armor so that thee can be too sexy for thy shirt, it hurts, doth it not Tarnished?
Updated on June 18, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah:As much as armor is used for protection in Elden Ring, it is equally used to be fashionable while slaying bosses. Thanks to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, Tarnished now have a new collection of armor sets to show off their style. Some players even go above and beyond to mix and match different armor sets together to achieve maximum results. Just keep in mind that although some armor sets have all pieces found together, some require exploring the map to loot all the pieces.
26Confessor Set
Confessor Starter Armor
Players don’t need to go far to look like they have acompetentdripinElden Ring. Simply starting out as the Confessor class is enough sometimes. For it has one of the most satisfying hoods in the game; large enough to veil the wearer’s face, and wavy enough to add an air of mystery.
The hood also goes well with a lot of armor sets, and it’s the perfect armor for cosplaying assassins fromAssassin’s Creed. The rest of the Confessor set isn’t forgettable either. The armor piece has a flowy cape and a thematic cloth pauldron and wearing the whole attire makes players look imposing enough.
25Noble’s Set
On a corpse in East Windmill Pasture, Altus Plateau
While not as dramatic as theother armor sets inElden Ring, The Noble’s set deserves its moment to shine. Each armor piece belongs to royalty and those who wear this set are known to be of the highest esteemed nobles, even in death.
The Noble’s set is made from pure silk and is white as snow, which will turn out to be a lovely contrast when Tarnished are covered in blood from killing enemies and exploring dangerous areas. The Navy Hood is the icing on the cake as it seals the outfit by obscuring a bit of the face and draping it dramatically over one shoulder.
24Cuckoo Knight Set
Dropped by Cuckoo Knights in Liurnia of the Lakes
The Cuckoo Knight set is just a reskinned version of the typical knight armor in the Lands Between. There aremany variants of this one from Caelidto Altus Plateau. However, the Cuckoo Knight set sets itself apart by being the most pristine out of all the variants.
It has a complete cape (which is the least tattered) and the colors of the coat of arms aren’t faded at all compared to the more dilapidated variants, making the Cuckoo Knight set more respectable. In terms of lore, it has some significant implications, such as signifying how Liurnia of the Lakes remained untouched by the Greater Will’s oppression and greed.
23Land of Reeds Set
Samurai Starting Armor
Like the Confessor, the Samurai inElden Ringstarts off with undeniable style. Thanks to some leftover assets fromSekiro, players get to have a competent fashion statement in the form of the Land of the Reeds set, which is basically just weathered samuraiarmor inElden Ring.
The masked helmet paired with the bouncy armor plates makes it more animated and hypnotic compared to most plate armor sets. It’s a good way to stave off some murder-hungry Fashion Police invaders without investing too much time and exploration effort.
22Kaiden Set
Dropped by Kaiden Sellsword enemies in Limgrave
For those who prefer their armor and fashion statements in either a rugged Viking or standard Anglo-Saxon fit, then the Kaiden set satisfies that masculine urge to raid villages and settle everywhere. This fictionalized take on Anglo-Saxon armor has a huge fur drape for the pauldrons, exuding a more primal spirit.
The scalearmor is also a nice touch, but what stole the show apart from the wolf skin as a jacket would be the closed helmet. It makes players look enigmatic and violently mysterious. Thankfully, players can get it early on from those pesky Kaiden horsemen.
21Spellblade Set
From Sorcerer Rogier’s Corpse in Roundtable Hold
Sorcerer Rogier has made some serious and silly mistakes that led to his demise, but given his easygoing and kind disposition, one can forgive him; besides, the man knows how to dress to impress. As far as wizards go inElden Ring, he’s has one of the cleanest senses of fashion.
The half-cape paired with the minstrel boots and the huge wizard hat gives Rogier and anyone who wears his moldy armor the charisma of a bard. It’s not just for style either, the Spellblade set has been proven toenhance magic damagefrom Ashes of War.
20Preceptor’s Set
Seluvis’s Corpse inside Seluvis' Rise in Three Sisters
Oversized fedoras are in fashion,especially when worn by a Moonveil user. The best big hat in the game is arguably from the Preceptor’s set, which is Seluvis' choice of attire. Lore-wise, they represent one of the highest esteem a sorcerer can achieve in Liurnia of the Lakes.
Underneath the hat is an intricate planetary or star alignment pattern or chart which reinforces the intellectual flair of this armor piece. The robes themselves are not too shabby and, compared to the other wizard robes, they look neat and orderly. If there was one thing Seluvis did right, it was dying so that players could have his armor set.
19Beast Champion Set
Warmasters Shack, Limgrave/Crumbling Farum Azula
Knight Bernahl’s Beast Champion set is already one of the most intricately-patterned armors in the game. Players will also be delighted to know that Berhanl was wearing the altered version, and they can “un-alter” it back to its original state with Tailoring Tools or through Boc the Seamster.
Once reverted to its original form, it becomes themost regal armor set inElden Ring. That cape is second to none in terms of handsomeness. The white and blue colors complement one another well, and it also makes the armor more aesthetically compatible with pieces from other sets.
18Goldmask’s Set
Completing Goldmask and Corhyn’s quests
It’s not just a bikini.It’s agoldenbikinito be witnessed by the forefathers one and all! Of course, any other Tarnished wears it a lot better than the beef-jerky man that is Goldmask. It’s also one of the most revealing armor sets in the game but if one’s Tarnished has the physique to proudly flaunt, then why cover it with steel?
It’s also the perfect armor for sunbathing in Leyndell, Ashen Capital once the Erdtree has burned and the UV rays are at their peak due to the carbon dioxide poisoning in the Leyndell air. Don’t expect the armor to have any form of protection, combat style has to be all or nothing.
17Malenia’s Set
Defeat Malenia, Blade of Miquella
This armor is for people who have never known defeat. Well, at least the original owner didn’t. But none of that matters because Malenia’s simple yet elegant war robe is one of the most unique inElden Ring. It’s certainly a fashion statement as well, indicating that players have defeated the most difficult boss ever in the history ofSoulsbornegames.
The helmet is also a lovely Valkyrie piece that fits in well with other golden or brass-colored armor sets. It even adds a wig just to remind players whom the armor belonged to, in case they’ve forgotten that Malenia is the Blade of Miquella, and she has never known defeat.
