I know this is a Chibi game, so everything has to be sorta roly-poly cute, but I would love a wider selection of suits with the proportioning of the skelly/vitasuit/fencing jacket armors.
I'd like a Retrode armor, personally.
More skinny armors!

Definitely down for some more
Definitely down for some more slimline armour - hell, if only for the sake of diversity. Not so much on Retrode armour, or any heavily monster-themed armour for that matter; I see enough Knights pointlessly hacking away at their teammates in frantic melees as it is.

You'd probabaly like the old angelic armor. Helmet looks like a mix between rose regalia and angelic, the armor looks like a mix of vitasuit and angelic without the skirt. Though it is deeply lacking crotch armor for gods sake... I mean skinny is one thing, jumpsuit is another.

Almost every armour is pretty bulky looking currently. More armours could really give some more variety in both utility and style.

+1 but a suggestion
The only issue I've had with more streamlined armors is the amount of attention it brings to your characters legs. Looking at things like the lower portion of your knight's legs while in Dread Skelly is enough of an example as to the skinny knees/enlarged calves. I do like the idea of armor that isn't quite so bulky but it's hard to maintain the idea visually of your armor leveling up without it being slightly larger or more pronounced.
That would mean essentially it would require more visual effects(particle effects or glowing) or a smattering of palette swaps. And a lot of players as is dislike the color swaps on armors. If it is a large enough of an issue, taking the time to draw concept art of things that you like might help gain you more headway then just requesting streamlined armor designs.

You need to get a Vitasuit
You need to get a Vitasuit Plus and a Vitasuit Deluxe then. The former matches any dark hats, and the latter matches any light hats. I prefer costuming out with Nameless/Shadowsun or Gunslinger/Stetson. IMO, only the jelly and bomber sets really make you look bulky... and if you're a demoman, it makes sense that your gear is loaded with stuff and protective layers.

Theres the old angelic, and a fish helmet from the beta. Pretty cool.
And plenty of things level up without bulking. Angelic itself stays the same shape the intire time.
Mabey it could stick out more like the spikes on sinister and dread skelly without bulking as it levels up. Like this guy;

Honestly? I would like a skeletal stick-figure body. I have an idea for a Retrode armor...I should draw this stuff out...

I was just thinking of that...
I wear my Bombhead and my default gear as costume. Thinner armour makes you look sleeker and personally, they look more flexible. Looks kinda hard to move around in a coat 10 centimetres thick.
