I find the "best look" for a class depends on your character (and definitely gender - I only play girls so I do not claim to have knowledge of male clothes). Hence:
Warrior - I'm not sure which I like here. For "officer" characters like my Saba, Sunspear/Elite Sunspear/Kurzick/Elite Kurzick/Asuran is quite nice, though I hate the back of the greaves; for more feminine characters I do love Vabbian.
Ranger - Simple costumes like Elite Sunspear and Obsidian are very good for archer-types like my Aza, but furry armors such as Elite Canthan and Norn are fun for Beastmasters like my Jiyu.
Monk - I'm fond of Kurzick/Elite Kurzick (my Xuta has the latter), as well as Elite Sunspear (not as common, and very good-looking - my Eshe desperately wants it). Censor's is nice for fighting-monk types, and Sacred is good for a more modest preacher-type. Oh, and Elite Luxon is good for a wandering monk sort.
Necro - Vabbian (Tiye wants it) and Monument (Gui's got it) are great for more feminine, flashy, or classy characters, while Krytan is good for a classic vamp, Kurzick makes a great battle-necro and Elite Sunspear is wonderful for a twisted official sort.
Mesmer - Asuran is lovely for your classic noblewoman, while Rogue's and Istani are great for a more active "adventuress" type like my Medea.
Ele - Elite Canthan is always classy (got it on Hineli), as are Vabbian and Elite Kurzick (Jenna's got both). Norn is a nice change from the miniskirts that would leave her freezing her butt off in the Shiverpeaks (also got it), and Obsidian is good for a more offbeat, tough ele (want it...).
Assassin - Canthan is nice for a feminine type, while Elite Kurzick looks very professional and Elite Luxon (much as I hate Luxon stuff) fits a secret agent sort.
Ritualist - I'm partial to Asuran for my own Qing, but I find Vabbian to be quite elegant as well.
Paragon - Elonian would be nice for quieter Motivation types like my Simone, except for the gaping hole in the back of the skirt; it seems that Asuran fixes this issue. I like also the look of Ancient, though I prefer the Deldrimor skin for the top. Istani is simple, yet classy, and the more solid-looking breastplate seems appropriate for a more assertive Command sort. Really, it's hard to go wrong on a Paragon unless you go with the "boob wings" or "wilted plants" looks.
Dervish - Sunspear and Elite Sunspear are very nice, though with a dark-skinned character like my Ebia it's probably a better option to go with Asuran (the necklace is a lovely detail, but the blue lining on the skirt is obnoxious if you aren't shooting for turquoise). Deldrimor or Monument can be excellent for a tougher, more warlike character.
Wow that was verbose.
