I've searched the forums, and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for - all I've seen after 15 minutes of looking is the companion armour upgrades, and not the changes to the style and color of the armor.
I'm on my second playthrough after finishing my first but a week ago. I romanced Isabella the first time through as a female Hawke - and she "changed" her outfit (added the red armband... is there more?) after I reached maximum friendship. We "romanced" as well, but I don't know if that caused the change in armor. She was the only romance I had in my first time through. I was maximum friends with others, but there was no noticable change in their armor (Varric, Aveline, Anders and Isabella) with Isabella changing in Act II, and Anders changing at the very very end.
This playthrough, as a male mage Hawke, I've been romancing Merrill - and after getting the knife for the mirror, we romanced and she changed her armor to a shiny white - looks much better. I've also gotten Sebastian and Aveline to full Rivalry - with no armor changes - is there supposed to be armor changes?
Can anyone detail or point me in the direction to find out the companions that have armor design/style changes and how they occur? I know a lot of this doesn't affect the gameplay, but it's fun to change things up a bit (especially after eliminating companion custom armor like we had in DA:O).
Thanks in advance.
Can someone clarify something for me? Companion armor changes.

Fenris, Isabela, Anders, and Merril are the only romance options that have armor changes once you successfully romance them. Aveline and Sebastian can't be romanced in the same way as them, so they have no armor changes at all.
Isabela's outfit changes to have a corset, the red band, and armor over parts of her left arm.

The armor for your companions will visibly change if you romance them. Varric and Aveline are not romanceable, so there is no change (something does shift with Varric's, I believe, but it's not visible - it's a background code thing). To my knowledge, Sebastian does not undergo an armor change.
The 'visible' changes are very noticeable for Isabela and Merrill. Fenris gets a red band. I need to do a quick check on Anders as I don't recall what (if any) his armor alteration is for a romance.
One thing you may want to consider for kicks and such (and because it's just super cool) is to incorporate an armor mod. I use the Diversified Follower Armors - one of the sweetest mods out there.

Thanks - but sadly I'm on console only (my 2006 work PC doesn't handle anything more stressful than solitare...)

None. He gets his make-over no matter what after the Justice quest (because the darn spirit is so much more important to him than
)

Isabela gets a black corset, a red armband, gold trimmed sash, and different arm guards. Fenris wears a red wristband, and the Hawke family insignia on his belt. Merill gets the opalescent chain mail. All 3 come after having romantic relations. Anders gets a different, darker coat and black feathers in his pauldrons after completing his act 3 class quest. Aveline's outfit changes on its own as she climbs the ranks. Varric and Sebastian never change.

I do know that every time I play through the game, after completing the "Justice" quest in Act 3, Anders entire wardrobe changes from the blue fuzzy stuff to a stylish black.

Aveline's armour changes in each act, a lot in fact.

Aveline's armor changes 3 times. First her starter armor. 2nd her guard armor. 3rd her Captain of the Guard Armor. Sebastian is the only one that will not change. Not sure if the bug is still there for Isabela though. Her armor wouldn't change after romancing her, to get it to appear required using a Maker's Sigh on her in the Black Emporium. Then she swapped to the Black Corset.
