Step 1: Have some crafted gear that is extremely better to whatever they have on. Now trade them that gear so that they put it on. Now trade them you want them to actually use.

Step 2: Dismiss your follower while they are wearing that extremely crafted gear that you gave them.

Step 3: Put invisible in one hand and paralyze in the next. Now, while you are invisible and your follower  is no longer in your party, blast them with paralyze.

Step 4: Once paralyzed, put invisible back up and crouch down so that the eyes read that you are not detected. Keep tapping on the button to try to pickpocket them while they are on the ground.

Step 5: Now you will be able to go into their inventory and it will show that their vanilla armor is highlighted in red. Take their vanilla armor from their inventory.

Step 6: Reinvite your follower and take the extreme crafted armor that you gave them. Your follower will now put on the 2nd set of armor you want them to equip. Which characters does this work for? I doubt you can do this to Serana, for example...
