- For these items in other game, see Armor.
Armor is type of apparel found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. When worn, armor increases a character's armor rating and thus helps to reduce the overall damage inflicted from physical attacks. In addition to offering protection from physical attacks, armor can be enchanted to grant additional protection, to bolster certain skills, or to increase various stats, such as Stamina or Health.

What is the coolest looking robes or armour that cant be smithed but can be enchanted in skyrim

Falmer heavy armor (without helmet) is very cool -
If you have Dawnguard, try getting Arch-Curate Vyrthur's Ancient Falmer armor. It's probably the best uncrafted light armor you can find in the game.
