Everyone is starting to look the same
Yes, there should be a lot more outfits. Many of them should be based not on real-world shaolin monks, but on the kinds of clothing unarmored combatants wear in the D&D Player's Handbook and other books (especially Ember the sample iconic monk).
In addition, a suggestion I gave to the devs long long ago would still be a good idea:
Each character has a "robestyle" variable they can set by typing a command.
Robestyle 1 means all robes look like they do now.
Robestyle 2 means robes look they do now, except that books, scrolls, and bottles are elminated.
Robestyle 3 means the robe is the same fabric and accents tailored in a different and more althletic design, probably with the skirt changed into loose trousers.
Robestyle 0 (the default) means the effect of 1,2, or 3 is automatically chosen by comparing which of your ability scores is the highest: S3, D3, Co2, I1, W1, Ch2
That change would have meant monks could look like monks, even when wearing a pre-existing named robe (such as the White Dragon Robe, which instead loads him down with scroll cases that a monk can't use)
and for crying out loud, take out the peacock outfit!

less buffing, more nerfing!!!
to make it easier for those of you that wants to avoid me in game, all my characters are in "Bladesworn Mercenaries"
Well, were also getting to the point of needing more european/middle eastern style outfits as well. I have 2 rangers that could be wearing robes but don't for cosmetic reasons. The PHB and Eberron books have a ton of art resources for this.
Things worthy of Standing Stone going EXTREME PREJUDICE™ on.:
- Epic and Legendary Mysterious ring upgrades, please.
- Change the stack size of filigree in the shared bank to 50. The 5 stack makes the shared bank worthless for storing filigree in a human usable manner.
- Fixing why I don't connect to the chat server for 5 minutes when I log into a game world.
- Fixing the wonky Lightning Sphere and Tactical Det firing by converting them to use alchemist spell arcing.
- Redoing the drop rates of tomes in generic and raid loot tables.
Typical women, come in and change everything! make it all frilly and such. Bah I like my 3-5 choices who needs more anyways? i got 2 pair of shoes ( tennis shoes and dress) 7-10 shirts and one style of blue jeans 1 suit that works for all dress occasions (wedding- funreals) nuff said!

Give me a jerkin and pant style outfit. Loose, but not baggy pants.

I don't think there should be any new outfits till we get a few more docent graphics added to the game. I think the last time there was any new docent looks added, outside of very few named ones, was in the DQ mod... way too long, in other words.
Speaking from experience, no outfit lends the mobility feat in real life like a nice pair of faux-paintsplattered hammer pants. Imagine the 'fascinate' score for a set of those.

Funny you should mention the named docents. Except for titanic (which is actually only different on composite body) and dragonscale docents, they all look exactly the same. A few of them aren't that ugly light rosy pink, but the different color ones have the exact same graphic.
Good thing wf arent girly enough to care.

A forum post should be like a skirt - long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

After some reflection, I've decided I like the stick outfit after all. When you're barkskinned, you look like one of these:
Oh wait that's not a good thing is it? Nevermind.
