This is completely personal tatse, but just want to see if anyone think so as well. I find the monk armor overall pretty poorly designed and not that pleasing to look at. The one i like the most was the beginner one... too bad there isn't a upgraded version of it.
hopefully better looking armor design for monk will come in the expansion or future patches.
Why Is Monk Armour So Ugly?

coz their hair is so ugly... oh wait... what hair?

I wish they had a monk outfit that looked less like armor. Something more like a long brown robe, kinda Friar Tuck-ish, or medieval english type.

I don't think of this as "retarded" but yeah, the monks look terrible. I don't like the tattoo look, neither do I with the necro. That is why I will never play a monk: because I can't stand looking at something that I don't like for entertainment from presearing to hells precipice. For PvP it is ok for me, as its not really a big problem. But I only have /mo and /n secondaries and not primaries.

back to my post, I would like to see more medival europe or oriental style to the monk... the current egyptain theme (wraps, fissure armor) doesn't really fit the monk.

No, but people payed 15k for there armor because its better.. not becuase it looks cooler

<snip! for the same old reasons as above>
I like the robe style like Jedi like or maybe bath robes for more "absorbtion"? Or even paper towel clothing. Like you would be wrapped in paper towels and you could buy emblems like Bounty or Brawny?
15k armor has the exact same stats as 1.5k armor. 15k armor is bought for the exact fact that it LOOKS COOLER.

Meh, I think theres a fair few really nice monk armours, all female ascetics, the 15k judges, the male wanders (might be 15k im thinking of) and the fissure armour is rather good looking.

In general monks are the "ugliest" class in the game, with some necros being tied. Monks can't even be red-heads. :`(
Sir Maddox
I like the initial armour because it shows off the Monk's kick-ass arms. I'd like less clunky, hunky, bulky armour for Monks, and a more streamlined look.
funbun
It would be cool if female monks wore somthin like Mother Tersa's garb.
Barbasta Masta
Personally I think that not all armors should be able to have the same defense, or all the weapons have the same offense, sort of like diablo days. Until my account got deleted, i have fun, waking up in the morning and say, " ahh little newbie, im better than you." But in guild wars, its kind of hard to say that when Litterally everyone has access to being extremely good.

I like the monk clothes. 
Hair colour is lacking though.

Monk armour to me.. well it suits them to me, they look good in it.. its just the girl monks, when you run around naked what are they wearing like rope around them or something.

I agree, I like the Wanderer's Armour and the newbie armour. The rest is ugly!
Fantus
My female monk is VERY pretty and her 15k Wanderer's set does look very monkish. 
However, I don't like the bald hairstyles, too. But for females there are at least two which actually look nice (don't know about males). My monk girl also can hide that ugly head tatoo under her hair...which is nice.
The other hairstyles look.. well... not really attractive... Don't know why A-Net thinks that monks are either bald or gothic...
My complain is rather that only an expert monk player can tell apart the 15k monk armor from the non 15k armor (with the sole exception of the Wanderer's set). The sets basically look the same with minor changes every now and then. For 15k I'd expect a bit more extravagance, even for a monk.

What I don't like about monk armor is all looks the same. The male FOW armor does look different than the rest.
You get about 3 styles for sandals. 2 for arms? Not sure, all look the same. A few almost identical body and pants pieces. They look like cut of the same mold. And for male 2 diferent lenghts of pants.
The 15k judge set looks the same as the 1.5k set*sight* At least we get 3 different types of tatoos.
I hope that in future updates there is some redesign to the monk line, making it less bulky. You starter set is very well designed, it goes down hill from there.

How about some bright orange robes for us smiting monks?

Monk armor ugly? Have you guys seen male warrior Gladiator armor? THAT'S ugly!
theclam
I like Monk armor. It looks better than all the male and half the female Elementalist armors and half the Necromancer armors. Most of the male Ranger armor looks like crap too.
Of course, the Censor's/Judge's armor that PvP characters have access to, as well as the tattoo pants, look like crap.

I'm not sure why the PvP Censor's armor is called Judge's, since it's just the plain bland stuff. I like my Granite Citadel Judge's armor though.. the white trim and shiny metal really helps out the look.
noblepaladin
They need to change male gladiators armor. It looks like the guy just forced the female gladiator armor on.
Scol
Yeah I'd like to see some variety on the monks too... I think Mhenlo's getup looks pretty good though.
All I know is I'm never going full tat. Chest and arms, sure, but pants as well? No way..

I think the Saintly Rainment is some of the best looking armor in the game.

my monk doesnt look ugly...i like what shes wearing
Egyptian Style Clothing = t3h s3x
Grigori Sokolov
I dont know, I'm fine with my 15k judges/wanderers. I have to say Wanderer's is my favorite: it looks somewhat...warm, for lack of a better word.
Warrior Gladiator armor = ugly.
I do hope that some time they will implement some kind of monk hat thats not a tatoo. Or 15k scalp designs.

Plague
Now, now. We can all at least agree that a good majority of the armors, characters, weapons and color schemes in the game are ugly. We're not really complaining, but a thread discussing the asthetically-pleasing parts of GW would be too short a discussion for it to stay on the first page for very long.
Divinitys Creature
Female monk bodies are the problem. The are weedy but have weird a$$. Those frumpy monk pants that they wear way too high - like their pants start at their underarms LMAO. I hope sorrows furnace has better female and male monk armor. And they need to fix the yukky monk underwear too.
Mitsu Bishi
I like the look of my monk and monks in general. Especially the bald ones, they simply look cool. Only thing I'd like to see is an option to turn off the head tattoos, you should be able to wear them without showing them.
Howling Wind
All the monks wear jack-ups, those pants sometimes look funny.
Azreal911
I actually like my monk saintly 15k chest piece that's why i added it with my sacred 1.5k stuff. looks sweet. that's the first 15k piece i bought. now for the 15k long coat for my mesmer when i save enough for that.....
Pure Domination
I was abvout to buy the fissure armor for my female monk a few days ago. Thank good I saw a picture of it on some site before. It looks so terrible and doesnt even come close to the meaning of a fissure armor. I mean all the other fissure armors have something "dark & spikey" on it, except for the monks one - it looks like a egypt priest. I want a black & spikey armor for my female monk :P
