Honestly, the big fix for this would be a glamor option (stats transferring to the cosmetics of other items).
Don't get me wrong, when a new set of armor is available, I wanna see that mess but some characters have a GREAT look out of the box and I don't want to give them armor that gives them 20 AC and just looks "like scale mail" that either the other NPCs are wearing or that the rest of the cast is wearing (the same leather armor on the entire party is terrible - It kills me that Astarions sick ass flouncy boy cloths provokes DISADVANTAGE on Stealth rolls... on the Rogue...)
In a game that looks this great out of the gate in early access, the fact that fashion is being left twisting in the wind is killing me.
Don't get me wrong, what is there feels accurate to what I would want and great (nothing looks thematically out of place save for the literal alien armor), I'm just a big baby in screaming for MOAR OPTIONS.
I look forward to when we finally get a suit of human / regular half-plate or banded armor or eventually plate armor.
Another option that hopefully wouldn't be too much a pain in the ass would be dyes.
Its clearly in the game to have different color options for the same armor set (the Rogue's starting leather getting black sleeves, the Ranger's and practically every other getting green).
Either way, I'm sure it will get added in time.... right....?
