Maybe Nightingale Armor just wasn't meant to have a shield, instead meant to be used with the bow, duel wielding or with the sword and a spell (maybe a Ward for blocking). But maybe not and they just didn't get around to making one.

Ebony probably is the best aesthetic match but being heavy i never used it with my Nightingale, just carried around a hide shield i never used and blocked with the sword if i had too.
