Browsing through the Cash Shop to see what the "Stimulus Package" has to offer, I was struck by the same idea. I found out that I like looking like the warrior that I am, and have no wish to dress up as an angel, skater, or teddy bear.
What I don't like are some specific items (the level 40 Nordic Helms with the noseguard that make you look cross-eyed, for example) or having to sacrifice matching outfit for stats (finding a purple str top and a green dex bottom, for example), which I would like to have look like some other warrior equips.
It would be very easy to implement, because all the sprites for the equipment have already been drawn, so no graphics work is involved in duplicating all in-game equips as cash-shop covers.
I'm not sure about the "must have it in your inventory" rule. I mean, it's not like the 221 NX I'd have to pay in MTS for a clean purple bottom to "cover" my green dex bottom is a lot of money (compared to the 1k+ pricetag on the cover itself), but it's an unnecessary hassle and confusing in your inventory. I would say any item you have in inventory, or could buy from an NPC, or could Make (once we get Maker skill), is fair game. While we don't want people pretending to wear extra-special equips they don't have, anything you could Make is not going to be too misleading.
