I like it too myself. Just doesn’t give off the whole Atlantean royalty aspect of Aquaman looking at it. Looks more like something the Sea-Devils might wear. Or in a world where Aquaman didn’t have the whole Atlantean ties and was just a superhero.
I wouldn’t mind it as an occasional suit either every once in awhile just think it needs a bit of a touch up/reimagining
In my opinion it's usually the opposite. The beard ususally makes him look like a rugged wildman. some kind of wild barbarian. A neatly trimmed beard or clean shaven make him look like a distinguised and noble 'king'... but the beard? he usually looks pretty UNcivilized

Anybody else jonesing for a lower budget AQUAMAN AND THE OTHERS flick alongside a big budget AQUAMAN 2?
It's going to be a hella long wait for an AQUAMAN 2.
I think having a relatively smaller budget Indiana Jones style pulp action movie set between Aquaman 1 and 2 would be fun. Arthur has to call on his old friends to help him. Mera gets to meet the squad. We get to see Arthur show how much he's changed as a man from the overly rough and overly tumble guy, dismissive of responsiblity, to the king and mensch of the people that he is now. He can atone and build some new bonds. It'd be a win for everyone!

I think if any character deserves a big budget, wide screen, FX heavy romp- it's 100% Aquaguy. I wouldn't want to spend any time away from Atlantis.
For an AQUAMAN AND THE OTHERS flick, that's a kinda inbetween-quel, you could probably get away with reigning it in and making it on a smaller scale though. A quest amidst old ruins of ancient and forgotten civilizations. Practical effect heavy Lovecraftian horrors. No real villain or big 3rd act Rock'm Sock'm Robots. Could also probably be filmed alongside AQUAMAN 2. Del Toro could rock it, while Wan works on the sequel.
