   Fantasy setting where armor is powered by magic and magic is powered by confidence (you can do magic only if you believe you can do magic), so combat clothing is precisely calibrated fashion. Designed to be whatever makes the wearer feel best about themselves

     Not everyone can do spellwork (magic directed by conscious thought), but defensive white magic is intrinsic, instinctive, a biological reflex. If magic existed in a universe obviously every living thing would evolve to take at least some advantage of it. However both conscious and unconscious magic require confidence, therefore, fashion armor

     So this is how you get elf girls fighting dragons in impractically cute miniskirts, because that's what makes them feel cool and powerful. It's why barbarians wear loincloths and metal bikinis, because showing off their muscles makes them feel strong. It's why wizards/necromancers/clerics wear ornate/spooky/holy robes, they are doing a performance for themselves to convince themselves of their arcane power. Everyone in the world is doing a performance to convince themselves that they are real
