Do you mean something akin to an only visual layers for armor and weapons that would change how they are presented on characters but otherwise still have the same stats? Something like layered armor in Monster Hunter games works? If yes, then I can agree that would be a nice option, but I also think that would work only if we could get further possibility of crafting items. Which I don't think would be that bad of a move since it's partially implemented in game mechanics already and it's always a good thing to be able to make a weapon or armor that suits your needs for a build or something.
...and I hated looking at Karlach in that one particular armor during my game, but couldn't find anything better when it came to stats! Poor girl had to keep running while being so unfashionable...
