Armor in Monster Hunter: World (MHW) is comprised of Sets, Unique Pieces, Accessories and enhanced via Decorations. They usually have the look and feel of the Monsters utilized to craft each piece or set. Players may also outfit their Palicoes with specific equipment.
Armor is complemented by Charms. High rank armor comes in two forms, Alpha and Beta sets which vary from one another aesthetically. Alpha sets come with less jewel slots but with bonus Skills or a higher level skill. Beta sets typically lack a second skill but have jewel slots allowing them to be decorated with jewels. There are five different slots of armor: Head Armor, Chest Armor, Arms Armor, Waist Armor and Leg Armor.
Please see the Layered Armor page for cosmetic armors that only change your appearance.

Why do the majority of the female helmets show their face? Whats the point of it being a helmet then? How am I supposed to fashion souls it when the designs are inconsistent between genders :l

Most of the female armor is shown using white or another color instead of its default color. Could this be fixed?

I wish there were more armor sets that looked the same for men and women. The men's armor pretty much always looks way cooler than the women's.

sigh, no Seltas armor... It's probably just me, but the armors graphics combined with the realism design takes away from the charm for me. Like, the overall color on most of these armors sway towards brown and red.
