If I understand correctly, VDAC is suggesting something akin to a “build saver/loader” feature as applied to the wardrobe. You picks your skins & colors, give it a name, and load it at will.
I love the idea and would pay gems for it.
(I don’t think it necessarily needs to be part of the outfit system, although that’s an obvious way to integrate such a feature into the game.)
Yes, that’s it exactly! 
I would actually use MORE transmutation charges if I could actually save and reuse outfits that I made because then I could create multiple looks for a character.
My point was… If you’re into roleplaying and want to change your look depending on the environment (basically whenever you go to a new region / encounter a new climate), at the moment, you have to transmute every single piece of equipment and eventually change the dye (which takes way too long to be realistically doable), and you must spent 6 TC (which is way too expensive, even for a PvPer or WvWer who has tons of them).
If we could turn our armors into outfits, then that would just be one click (open H panel, change your outfit), which would be much more doable. In a perfect world, you could even bring back some mechanics from the old town clothes, and let you pre-define one of those custom (or not custom) outfits for every region or part of the game (Tyria, Ascalon, cities, etc) so it would automatically change.
My apologies! I misread your post. I agree completely. 
instead of asking for a redo of the UI to have another Barbie doll panel for mix and match armor that acts like an outfit, why not simply ask that T charges be removed from the game?
I didn’t think that asking, “Can I have for free something that I would currently have to pay for?” would be well received. 
Instead, I’m suggesting what I would be glad to pay for, however it might be implemented.
Because you may want to wear different armors depending on the maps. Fur for the Shiverpeaks, light clothes for the jungle, etc, and that’s precisely where outfits are handy (there is NO WAY someone would change his armor / dyes manually whenever he WP to another region).
But that’s exactly what DOESN’T happen now! I create a female Norn elementalist and she’s NOT wearing furs or anything like her countrymen but instead it’s the same ridiculous outfit as her counterparts everywhere.
In some other games I’ve played, I’ve seen it done where you basically have 2 slots side by side, one for armor and one for skins. Some take it a step further by having multiple pages, allowing you to store multiple outfits.
EXACTLY! Anything like that would be GREAT!
