Below is how my guard looks right now and I have yet to get her a draconic helm and arah gloves. The thing is though, I feel like gladiator top/bottom is pretty common so I'm curious to know if there are any skins that show some skin for a guard. I'm also considering the Pit Fighter  bottom without the leggings with the gladiator top. The Vigil bottom also looks nice but unfortunately my guardian joined the Order since my thief joined the Vigil... Also, I'm not quite sure about my guard's shoes... I kinda don't like the spikes when the other parts are branch-y. Thanks in advance for the suggestions! In the future, I intend to get a platinum-ish dye with gold or blue accents.

If you really want the Vigil leggings, you can have your thief transmute them onto a vendor bought item (for instance the armorsmith in Lion Arch sells lvl80 white items for a few silver). This creates an Account Bound item with the Vigil look. You can then give it to your guardian using the bank and transmute it onto your actual gear.
This is not a hack or bug but an intended feature btw, incase you worry. I've done this myself when i wanted the vigil pieces on an alt, works a treat.

The transmuting thing worked for getting OoW armor onto my Vigil thief back in November, but I was not able to transmute karma-bought Temple of Balthazar exotic armor when I accidentally bought medium-armor on my light-armor necro recently in December.    I dont know if thats an issue with karma-bought armor, or if this feature has recently been changed.

Wow I didn't know about that. Thanks for the tip! I shall try it and thanks for the heads up Malganis as well. Hopefully this is okay for gold-bought gear.

I'm not personally too fond of the vigil leggings on my human warrior with the same top. It flares out way too much..makes the ass look way too big. Unfortunately for humans, the barbaric and gladiator leggings are probably the ones with the "sexiest" looks available currently. Pit Fighter leggings are nice and slim, but the pants are all-covering..it would be nice if the vigil leggings had the pit fighter waist, it would be perfect.  Right now, the only race I think they look good on is Sylvari, simply due to their stance.

My only gripe about the barbaric leggings is the flat-slab on the backside. Not very flattering, although they generally show the most skin of all the leggings aside from the paper-cutout arah offerings, and you can't go wrong with fishnet with its own dye panel.

Boots and gloves:

I'm liking my draconic boots. If you want a little bulkier version, the Dredgehaunt Cliffs karma boots might do well. They also go well with barbaric pauldrons and gladiator gauntlets. If you have access to the hall of monuments, then heavenly bracers are a classy, highly detailed option, as are the fire god's vambraces depending on your tastes.

I think it's the case that any transmuted armour is at least account-bound, but otherwise takes the property of the item that it takes the stats from. So you can use it to move skins around, since the item that gives the newly transmuted item its stats isn't soulbound, but you can't use it to give one character a soulbound exotic item from another character regardless of how many times you change the skin of the item. So if you wanted to give your thief the look of Orr karma armour without the stats you could do it, but you can't transfer over the statistics.

Your best recourse is probably to salvage using the best salvage kit you can for the runes, ectos, and T6 materials. (I think that karma armour can be salvaged, although I know there is some karma stuff which is unsalvageable.)

My Guardian not a great pic but its the halloween shoulders.... whispers top, legs, and arms.. and HotW legs..

As you're after "sexy" armor and seem to be aiming to show off as much skin as possible on a female, I can safely assume you're an adolescent boy.

If this is the case, reroll an Adventurer profession (Ranger, Thief & Engineer) and purchase the very generic T3 "underboob" armor.

Joking and sarcasm aside, I can offer you 2 suggestions I like (never been a fan of mixing and matching)

If you still want to go for the not-so-protective and I'mma-show-me-flesh appearance, you could try Barbaric armor (purchaseable off TP for a few silver). Here's an image of my Guardian in it:


Or alternatively, you could choose to clothe your soldier and use Koda armor (purchaseable using Symbols of Koda (HOTW explorable reward)). Here's a picture of my Guardian in this:

If you wish to see these on your character, find them on GW2DB and whisper yourself the chat link for the item. This allows you to preview it. Works the same for dyes.

Thanks for the input guys, I'm definitely going to check GW2DB for the tops. I would like to ask though, does anyone know these gloves? I already have Karma gear gloves and I wanted to get Arah gloves with it but now I'm not sure since I've only ran Arah once and failed and I don't want to do it again just to transmute the gloves for the looks. Please let me know.

[Xephyr]

Those are Hall of Monuments gloves.

took me a while to figure out what would look best, i found out too late that i should have made either Male human guardian or Female Norn guardian

[Evans]

A couple suggestions are extremely sexy, if you're into cactuses.
