My Guardian needed a change. Its hard to look good as a female heavy -- you tend to only see stripper or princess looks, and my girl wanted something functional yet fashionable.

I went with the familiar Aetherblade booty pants + Phalanx boots, but instead of carapice, she chose to honor her great grandmother and namesake, the famous 'Blame the Monks' by using the Heritage breastplate. Dyes are to get a colorful, distinct look although it ended up giving a "police" vibe that I think nicely fits her protector role. Note that I had to use several similar shades of grey to get a uniform color across sets.

Like her ancestor, she enjoys crushing WvW while looking fabulous. Feedback welcome.

While I am a little tired of seeing these specific boots and pants on heavy females, I do like what you did with her upper half as it feels quite original to me
It would be nice if you would specify armour and dyes, as it does feel like you lack a third dye for accentuating, but I can´t tell for sure
If you would have made a little more effort with screening this might even have been gold for me, so should you decide to add a little I will gladly improve my rating!

How do I show dye/armor that I used? What kind of screenshots do you want to see?

As for the boots/pants, I know its common among fashionista but I had never seen it before. Plus its hard to find a good pair of pants as a female heavy!

If you click on your own look you can see a "Specify armour" button under the rating sliders, there you can specify armour, dyes, weapons, minis and backpieces ^^

One from the character login is common to properly show off your character, plus nice scenic screens; your character would probably do well in Divinity´s Reach; you can look through some of my own screens to get a sense for what is common on the site ^^

And yes, you are right, if you want a feminine looking pants you are absolutely right, those are the best
