More 'bout underwear(underwhere?)!!!
I used to go commando all the time but I've recently got in the habit of wearing my compression spandex(I use unpadded cycle shorts) as underwear under normal cloths. Does this count as underwear? It constantly reminds me that I'm a cyclist deep down and allows speedy Cycleman in a phone booth changes but I just can't shake that awfull feeling that it breaks the commando barrier.
I need to know does outerwear, like cycle shorts, become underwear just by the simple application of another layer, in this case denim jeans for work?

I dunno, but I'm doing the same thing. Next winter, it's going to be shorts, then long johns, then jeans or possibly wool pants...
The crappy office chairs that they give us are a lot more comfortable now, though...
And the bike chain around my wrist reminds me I'm a cyclist no matter what I'm wearing....

I have a high activity job(lumber resawing) so the wicking factor is great, and being spandex it keeps out the sawdust.

Here's the rule of thumb: If you wear it under what you wear, it's underwear.
It's okay to wear underwear under your street clothes. It's okay to wear bike shorts for underwear. It is not okay to wear underwear under your bike shorts.

Hope that clears up any confusion you might have been feeling.

What if what I wear, is the shorts, would everything worn on top be overwear?
I mean, underwear is worn because people feel they have to have it for functional reasons, and thus it's beleived by many to be a means to the ends that is outerwear. However, if the streetclothes/ outerwear was the part considered manditory for function and the clothing worn underneath was the actual prefered clothing, shouldn't the outerwear be looked down upon the way underwear normaly is?
Think of it this way; If you put a coat on over a fancy set of duds, do the duds then become underwear while the coat becomes the duds, or is the coat in the same class that underwear is normally placed and has little affect on what one considers the main outfit?
Man I'm tired.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You are making this much too difficult. Try seeing things my way...in black and white.
There are three categories of clothing: outerwear, underwear and just plain wear.
Outerwear is designed to be worn outside of your just plain wear. The category of outerwear includes coats, jackets, coveralls and snowpants. If you wear outerwear with nothing underneath it does not make the outerwear just plain wear, but it does make you a pervert.
Underwear is designed to be worn under your just plain wear. That's why they call it underwear. The category of underwear includes boxers, briefs, undershirts, bras and panties. Wearing underwear over your just plain wear does not make it outerwear, but it does make you Superman. Wearing underwear with nothing over it does not make it just plain wear, but it does make you Madonna. Wearing underwear under your bike shorts makes you saddle sore and stupid.
The category of just plain wear includes shirts, pants, kilts, skirts, dresses, bike shorts and jerseys. Of these, kilts and bicycle shorts are designed to be worn without underwear. No one cares much what you wear under the others.

Underware is non-****ional for bike shorts. Any cotton under any cycling cloths is non-****ional.

This has been dealt with before. Yes, you may wear underwear outside of your shorts. You will look ridiculous, but you may do it.

What if I wear my Cannondale Sobe biking shorts underneath my baggies? Now my C'dales have become underwear. But if I wear my compression short under my C'dales, which in turn are under my baggies, then the C'dales are mid-wear, right?

For instance if you wear two or more layers of pants and shirts, does one become either outer or underwear or does it just make you a skier 40 years behind the times?
Another might be like my case, if your choosen type of plainwear, in this case bike shorts, isn't suitable for conditions, like working in a lumber mill or similer factory, and you don a less desirable type of plainwear over it, like denim jeans, is the layer of plainwear that is mandated by conditions considered outerwear, while the more desirable plainwear underneath remains plainwear, or how would this work?

Ditto bike shorts under jeans.

One last question:
If wearing outerwear with nothing under makes you a pervert, and underwear with nothing esle makes you Madona, then what would eliminating just plain wear do?
To clarify, that is outerwear and underwear without just plain wear.

One might well ask, "What does the term 'headset' have to do with underwear?"
Consult Lawrence Ferlinghetti for advice about underwear.
