An observation on monk fashion...
generik
Have you noticed every female monk has that same exact hairdo? The one that has ribbons hanging down on each side?
EF2NYD
Most do, I guess.
Xenrath
Most are miniature Princess Leia clones 
To be fair though, the alternatives on offer really aren't all that good (almost all of them are half shaved)

All the monk hairdo's (that have a full head of hair) have ribbons hanging down the side, if you loook closely the ribbon is tied around the head like a headband.

go make a monk char. there really are only 2-3 good face/hair combos.

Each class has one or two decently looking "faces" and one or two decently looking "hairsets". The rest of them are...

Someone posted before me, which made my original comment irrelevant and not so humorous.

Buns are one of maybe 3 decent hair choices. I didn't really want those pointed cones or a bee-hive, so I chose the buns. I'm at least proud that I used a face that isn't widely used. I think it's the best face anyway.

Oh and hairy male monks look terrible. If I were Anet i'd put like 5 ways for a male monk to be bald...

Thats why every character needs to be bald *buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (shavers)*

No, no, the problem with male monk hairstyles is precisely that all of them are bald to some degree... so going for the all-bald one ends up looking better. If there was a decent non-bald hairstyle for male monks, I wouldn't have made a female monk (who does not have buns or the bee-hive, she has one of the long-hair types).
Same with necros... I can never bring myself to make a male necro. Their grey-ish skin tones all suck, and none of the faces seem to fit the darker skin tones too well. Blue eyes and straight hair abound in GW.

thats because monks are the most godawful ugly class out there. Unless the want to singe their eyeballs the pick that one...

I chose the hairdo with buns and ribbons because I find it to be the best looking hairdo for female monks. And if I'm going to be staring at a character for 400+ hours, it's going to be visually appealing.

I think its because the whole big bun look is just the most normal looknig out of all the hair sets.
I personally like the off to the side long hair thing. ^^
Me i dislike the Elementalist hairsets...guh... ~.~

I don't know the lore behind monks and why they freaking have to be bald somewhere on their head, but I agree that they are the ugliest class out there. There will never be a sexy, female monk, so you'll just have to accept it.
Btw, I started my monk out with that hair, but I deleted her and changed it just because I was annoyed that over 75% of other female monks had the same hair. I didn't want to look like a clone.

Uh, in betas I though monks looked slightly overweight, which is why I chose elementalist/monk. (No, I will not cross dress and use a female monk...even then they are very odd)
Elementalist has a thinner body, actual HAIR, and nicer armor (for male characters), IMO. Oh, and they don't get the "heal please" messages.
Armor wise I would necromancers have the nicest armor although their evil eyes and very pale skin are somewhat freaky.
I hate chunky warrior's and their balding haircuts for that reason.
P.S. the reason why many female monks use the "2 cinnamon bun" hair is the other ones usually are missing a whole side of the hair and it looks atrocious.

Same reason I went for E/Mo when I first started.

I find nothing wrong with Monk hairstyles although male could use more hair and I would say they are best looking in game.They have sweet appeasing look to them.The male Monk look good in Wanderers.Asthetics or just Monk Armor as for females well they look good in all sets of armor.This is a early picture of mine in Ascalon foothills in collectors armor as re did my Monk I was useing the one I made up in beta it was just cookie cutter build.

The monk class DESPERATELY needs some makeover in terms of looks in Chapter 2.

I bet no one in GW has ever been able to get tats to match skin so closely :

I wouldn't say monks are the ugliest class, but they do have the least number of good hair cuts.

..and about the 'half hair' comment earlier, I agree. I don't like that one either because it looks too unbalanced and wierd.
The one I have, but you can't see it because of the antlers, is where both sides are shaved.
