The Most Basic Gear
You could always transmute the lvl 1 armor onto your lvl 80 stuff. Do you mean a naked color, or to look naked? You could also just take off all your armor…
Yeah I’m lookin to run around with only pants and an anchor. Goin for that pirate look but I’m a guardian so I wear heavy.
You can hide the helm, the shoulders, and the gloves, but that’s it. The only other way to get the look you describe would to be to not use chest armor (and/or boots, maybe).
Imagine this set with hiding the helm, shoulders and gloves.

With using maybe these boots.

Aso, creative use of dyes similar to your skin color can achieve a barely there look.
The most basic, boring sets are probably the ones you start with. Although some of the others are fairly plain.
You can’t make your character look completely naked, or even look like they’re just wearing their underwear (which is part of the model and can’t be removed) but you could get them wearing very little, even a male character in heavy armor.
I’d start with something like the Pit Fighters set for the chest armor (basically just straps), hide the shoulder pads and helm, then very short boots and gloves.
You could also experiment with tight fitting trousers (and other armor) dyed to match your skin colour. I’ve seen that used to good effect on a few characters.

Pit fighter chest might work.

I wish you could transmute the pirate town clothes. That would be neat.
As far as closest non-racial chestless armor Pit Fighter and the low-level Karma armor don’t cover the chest fully. Pit Fighter may be more piratey.
Thought there was a norn cultural armor that had no chest, only tattoos. But seems I’m mistaken.
Can look at previews of all the armors here and tells you where you can get them. Might be of some use to you to find a look you are going for:

Thanks for the suggestions guys!
I recall being able to transmute certain pieces of equipment onto others and that would make them invisible because they wouldn’t work on certain characters. Is this still possible?
