more variety for covering up items in clothing slots

hello,
I am going to give two disclaimers before making the requests and suggestions here. first and foremost, what i'm proposing is more of a trivial thing and I don't expect it to be implemented very soon, it's more of a visibility idea.
second, I have never looked up a wrist, thigh or boot sheath, and my ideas of them can be slightly skewed, so if you think that wat I am suggesting below is bad, let me know or ignore this entirely! feedback is appreciated.
my suggestion and request is for some other item slots to cover up sheathes as well. I was very surprised when I left my character wearing some leggings to discover that my boot sheathes were visible, although I was wearing boots which were not ankle high, and where instead calf high.
also, tunics which are shown in their description to be long sleeved still leave wrist slots items like bracelets shown.
maybe certain boots could cover up sheathes, if possible? That could be quite neat.
I am going to stop here, unless I go rambling with an idea I am not 100% sure is correct or right.

The problem with wrist sheathes is that they weren't super common things. So it's hard to say. But when they were things, they were usually for throwing knives or other small things, like stilettos. I'm a sword and gun guy, not a historical knife guy, so some people might know better than me, of course. But the issue was that, to quickdraw, you would effectively millimeters away from dragging steel down your wrist. They were also just plain hard to hide, because they had to be close to your hand.

Boot sheathes , on the other hand. I have seen at least one that was hidden, but it might be the case of legacy items being worked on a slightly different system. I think that they should be hidden by all but ankle boots, personally. But at the end of the day, fighting for realism is hard, because you could put some pretty big things in a sheath. I think Kukri fit in them, which obviously would not be boot sheatheable.

And finally, thigh sheathes are hidden by skirts, but I would love to see them hidden by dresses, as well.
