Sylvari Fashion Ideas #1- Blue Mountains Sentinel Outfit


Blue Mountains Sentinel Outfit


I named this outfit 'Blue Mountains Sentinel' because whilst I strolled around Ered Luin, I was given inspiration by the snow and environment I encountered. This is the first glimpse of the outfit!

(Sorry the graphics might be bad!, I'll try to find a way to increase quality on our next post <3)




The Outfit mainly consist of a dress, shoulder guards, cape and circlet. The main dominant colour is blue  and gold  . When I created this outfit, I used Celondess who is a hunter class. So most of the theme and origins would be based on the hunter class (I'm not sure if this outfit will look the same with other races except for women Elves). It's very different from what hunters/warriors would usually wear as its not a hauberk/plate etc. When I was making this outfit, my idea was "When there's no war, a guard would still wear armour but something less bulky etc." Like an outfit in times of peace.

~~ The blue colour (more specifically Ered Luin Blue) gives that Blue Mountain style feeling and it greatly links to the place of origin. It contrast well with the gold linngs on the dress, and shoulder plates to make it look very versatile and complex. Although the shoulder plate looks bulky (it is for medium armour) the curves of the plate get away with it and fits in with the dress quite well. Plus the shoulderplate makes it look like the outfit is still good for battle, not a fully prom date night outfit xD
The dress itself is long-sleeve because who would wear a short-sleeve top in the middle of the cold?
These combination of colours almost shows like a royalty theme, (like a personal guard for Thorin Oakenshield, when he stil lives in Thorin's Halls) and dress makes it even more elegant (for women). There is also a hint of white which connects to the snow of Ered Luin and brings out the patterns of the dress.


Here is a more close-up view of the outfit


In this photo you can see the intriquite design of the dress and how it contrasts well with the blue and gold, whilst the white allows the 2 colours to look more dominant and saturated.

Here's a backshot of the outfit


One of my favourite parts of this outfit is the cloak! It actually took so long for me to find a cloak that fits with the dress and shoulder pads, but after scrolling through the AH I found one that follows the gold lining concept. Once again the pattern of the gold lining and the contract between the blue just gives off that royalty look (like a vanguard style). 
~~ I took out my weapons, as this outfit can also work with different classes (I'm guessing as long as your character is female and is an Elf/Man then it will work. I might try experimenting with hobbits, dwarves, and male characters and update you guys if it looks nice.)

Special Touch...

~~ I added a special touch to the outfit, which you guys probably did not notice in the other shots. I added a small dagger within the outfit to show that you still mean business and have a weapon to use just in case something bad actually happens.
