Generally speaking, I have approached my character's outfits with a practical frame of mind. If the use of an item will make me a better player, I will deal with the ugliness, although I will be thankful when I can replace it with something nicer.
The first piece I had which I really enjoyed wasn't even tier. Way back, when I was leveling slowly, my husband found something on the Auction House which he thought would be beneficial to me and picked it up. It was the Big Voodoo Robe, a crafted item for a level 38 character. (Wish I knew how to make those little boxes pop up to just show the stats, instead of putting in a link.) It was the cutest outfit I had to that point, and the stats were good enough I wore it for several levels. I had a blue shirt on beneath, which technically didn't match, but which ended up being good enough for me. It made me feel pretty and somewhat individual, as not a whole lot of people actually ran around wearing it.
That kind of individuality is pretty much lost at end-game, it seems. We all aim for the latest fashionable (or unfashionable) tier.
