They look bad.
Call it opinion, call it aesthetic. It's bad.
"Original" and "different" isn't always better, and you shouldn't force racial aesthetic on your player base. For a game that thrives on elements such as feasibility and semi-realism, nothing about the armor makes sense. Are we growing it? Are we incapable of dressing in a manner similar to the other races?
In a world where standing near a fire may dry me, or a puddle of water can conduct electricity, i'm supposed to be alright with the fact that an armor chest piece I just looted from a human corpse looks like a bark tube top on my elf?
You severely limit the potential for individual expression when you force things like this.
Bare in mind that this is just a gripe about armor itself.
That's not even covering that fact that across the board male elves have less customization options than literally any other race in the game.
For every person whining about not getting their Tolkein aesthetic, you've got some sycophant jumping down their throat screaming about how much better this "fresh" and "different" take on the elves adds to the flavor of the game.
Most everything about the elf race seems ham-fisted and poorly thought out.
