without gong to wiki and looking at allthe pictures there, I am going to say that the ugliest armor that comes to mind first is hands down the male Eagle Armor... Deldrimore? can't remember, specifically the gloves.

Warrior Male: Don't care for the brute style, so I don't like any of them.
Warrior Female: Early NF skins.

Ranger Male: They all look good to me.
Ranger Female: Elite Druid is pretty boring and gaudy.

Monk Male: Anything in NF.
Monk Female: EOTN re-skins.

Elementalist Male: You can only see so many cheesy 'robes' without getting bored.
Elementalist Female: Very hit or miss with this one, but I find the Factions sets to be pretty boring.

Necromancer Male: Just about anything in NF.
Necromancer Male: Same as above, except Vabbian.

Mesmer Male: Most NF skins (seeing a trend here?) and early Factions.
Mesmer Female: Enchanter and its elite.

Assassin Male: Exotic and its elite, FoW (the mask spikes look silly).
Assassin Female: Everything.

Ritualist Male: Asuran (possibly one of the most blatant reskins in EOTN) and Exotic.
Ritualist Female: Vabbian.

Dervish Male: Everything but Asuran and Ancient...maybe Elite Sunspear.
Dervish Female: Same as above, though Vabbian is nice.

Paragon Male: Everything.
Paragon Female: Same as above.

Also, I'm kind of surprised some of you hate the male Ritualist Norn armor...I think it compliments the profession's 'shaman' quality very well.

Most assassin armors, elementalist primeval, and necro pimeval. It deserves to be made in fish sticks.

Sorry to the male monks out there but most if not all of your armor is hideous.
yeah ppl have mentioned Necro fish armor as well as warrior obsidian(omg dyed black look guys im rich)
My favorite: Female ele(who could've guessed....) Sunspear top, shoes, and hands, miniskirt. YAY.
Another favorite is Ranger Druid armor...I don't have a ranger but I'm gonna get some slots and make one just to have that armor ^^

The worst thing I've ever seen is the male elementalist elite Sunspear armor: http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Elem...ear_armor/Male. Seriously, what were they thinking?! I'd be embarrassed enough to have to wear that if I were just starting a character-- never mind spending 15k per piece! Argh!

Yeah. My primary character is a male ele, and outside of 15k Luxon and Kurzick (and red-dyed Norn during Wintersday) armor shopping is sort of a sad story.

Edit: Come to think of it, I don't like any of the male elemenalist armors to come out of Nightfall. There's something about the look.... like they wandered out of some sort of extremely tacky desert lounge on the morning after-- except for Primeval, which is just nonsense.

I Think the worst armor is any armor dyed black. Excluding 15k Sunspear for my female Derv. The only armor I like in black.

Sin armors hands down. According to lore assassins are quick flexible beings. Why are they all wearing armor that doesn't even fit through an average door?

Warrior: I'd say the Platemail, for both male and female is just extremely ugly. I hated it even more back when every single warrior in the game wore it. I can stomach it a little more now, but it's still the worst set, in my opinion.

Also not a fan of the Monument, I don't mind the EOTN reskins, but that one is a horrible miss-mash of styles.

Ranger: I actually don't really mind most of the Ranger armour, but I'd say the worst is the fur-lined, simply because I couldn't imaging paying that much money for it.

Monk: Almost the exact opposite of the Rangers, Monks have very few sets I like.. but the worst is the Vabbian, very plain and boring and doesn't even look as good as the Ancient, yet costs three times as much.

Don't much like the clown style of the FoW armour either.

Necromancer: Not a big Necro fan, but the Primeval is pretty horrid.

Mesmer: For the females, Elite Luxon is a terrible set, I swear they mixed up the 1.5 and 15k versions there. And for the males, Elite Canthan especially if you forget the pants.

Elementalist: Females Istani, Sunspear and Vabbian, never understood the popularity of making your Ele look like a stripper or an exotic dancer. It's over done and tacky. Males: Elite Sunspear.

Assassin: This is a proffession I could never play as, because I just hate all the armour styles. Less spikes please. Elite Exotic and Ancient are particularly ridiculous looking though.

Ritualist: Male Vabbian, the Aladdin look doesn't really work here.

Paragon: Female Vabbian, and basically any male set, besides the Norn.

Dervish: Most of them are pretty good, the deldrimor pieces don't really work though, and I think the Primeval is covered with too many things, I wouldn't say it's bad, but I don't think it fits as well as the other sets.

Are you serious?

That gargantuan collar flopping around the neck makes the Necro look like a giant tulip with legs.

Admittedly it's a damning with faint praise sort of thing, I just have a soft spot for it since seeing it on my necro that time they Rule 63'd everyone...

Ugly armors IMO:

Warrior: Wyvern (both sexes)
Ranger: Not that any of it is ugly, but most of it looks the same. Same deal with monks.
Elementalist: Primeval. Looks like the tripped over a series of tents.
Assassin: Ancient. I mean, what the hell?

I'd have to say pretty much every FoW armor out there besides sin. Most of them suffer from the craptacular prophecies armor design and with the new barf black that plagues the high end users it looks even worse. Sin gets away with it simply because its the one armor isn't a "lolimasin!!!!" cutlery nightmare that looks like hugging your foe would do more than your dinky little knives ever could....

It's supposed to look like a jellyfish. Because they're sea people, geddit?

The Kurzick counterpart is supposed to look like a squirrel. They're forest people!

But yeah, it's horrid violence against the eyes. I used to think the Luxon 15K was the ugliest armor in the game. Then I beheld the awful glory of the warrior primeval made to look like Sonic the hedgehog because kids love that shit armor and realized it was the ugliest.

But the universe wasn't through shitting in my eyes. Oh no.

Then, finally, the skies opened, and like a shower of explosive diarrhea I saw Silver Eagle armor. That, my friends, is the ugliest armor in all of Guild Wars. Yeah, the necro fish armor is fugly, yeah, the assassins must walk through barn doors sideways, and yes, eles ARE unable to assemble even a simple kite, but when it comes to sheer over-the-top sweet-jesus-what-the-GOREDENGINE-is-that?!?-ness, then nothing beats Silver Eaglurgggh.

There are even whispered rumors that there are... people... insane enough to inflict the vision of dragon hand-eater gloves with Silver Eagle armor on their fellow players. I pray all such rumors are untrue!
