the best looking cultural armor sets for thief on male side?

Human female I think

yes.

If it’s culturals, I’d say, Sylvari got the best ones. Even tho they are plant like, they are functional in all three needed aspects.
Concealing the face while not being all “look, me haz kitten mask!”
They also look pretty functional, unlike the human ones (cough)

Tho, for me, the best thief armor is still from the Crucible, maybe with a different chest piece mixed in.

If we are strictly talking culurals:
Human: Tier 1 looks unpracticable as hell, the mask looks ugly at best.
Tier 2 looks alright
Tier 3: Who the hell would actually buy something like that?

Sylvari: Tier 1 looks great, the mask is a bit fancy looking but still alright.
Tier 2: A toned down version of Tier 1, the headgear looks like a veil. Fits the thief nicely.
Tier 3: Now, THAT’s some armor! It actually looks protective and speaking of medium armor and culturals at that, that means a LOT!

Asura: Don’t even bother. They might look well on a rifle engineer but that’s about it.

Norn: Norn Culturals are generally kitten but the tier 3 actually looks quite decent.

Charr: Don’t bother. Tier 1 halfway usable, the rest is garbage.

For reference:

My thief is a female Norn and I’m not even gonna bother buying any culturals. Maybe later when I got culturals for all races, a ton of gold and really want a certain Title. But else, I’mma get the Crucible armor and maybe swap out the chest piece with something more practicable.

The only crime, turrets committed, is being good against the celestial meta.
