I like to use 'Northgirl Armor' for times when I want my character to wear clothes instead of a full kit of armor as it looks great (& like you are going into town as opposed to into battle), but you still have protection if you are randomly attacked - it isn't exactly lore friendly but it looks warm, & pants with a top are much more practical for an adventurer than a dress (my Dragonborn is a trend setter - she designed & made the gear herself ). If you want to easily change your makeup, war paint & hair depending on the occasion check out the mod 'Vanity Mirror' by RGM - now that I have discovered RGM's mod I am about to start looking for war paints (I never used to use them as I didn't want them on my character at all times), please post an update if you find some good ones!!! I use 'Alt Navetsea UNP Seamless' body/face & 'Apachii SkyHair'.

I like my character to look slim, strong & bathed but not spotless (she has spent all day adventuring after all), without huge breasts & a full face of make up (except some heavy eye liner like the Nords used to use).
