How to get character on menu items in The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim?

[Chung Ae]

What want is to see myself trying on clothing and armor while in my items menu, but I am not able to get that how can I do that. So I am posting this over here. If you know that how this can be done then please let me know that. I will be thankful to all the replies for this.

I would like to tell you that this is simply not possible to do that. This is just the silly design issue that is done by the developers.

This is true that you can’t do that in the menu itself you can however go into third person mode if you put your weapons away and move them camera into a position that will allow you to see your character as you try armor/weapons. Other than this there is one more thing that I would like to tell you. It's not the best solution but it works. Go into third person and zoom out so that your character is on the right hand side of your screen and go into the menu, you can get a vague image of what it looks like on you from there.

There is one simple thing that you can do. All you have to do is zoom out to 3rd person view (F key on PC, right control stick on console) and then open the menu.
