Don't worry... cycling clothes look good on slender people. It's us "big boned" folks who have to worry. Just avoid vertical stripes.
I look for good-name items on sale. You can often find good deals for Pearl Izumi in the Amazon. For example:
Amazon.com: Pearl Izumi Quest Jersey - Men's: Sports & Outdoors
You can also find good "everyday" items at a good price at places like Nashbar.

I just got 2 pair of the bib versions of these in small. i'm 5'7 and the straps are fairly tight.. so they may not be too tight for 5'10. The shorts part should be the same and fit awesome.

Funny thing about this is that you will pretty much look like a really hardcore cyclist/climber and will look good in pretty much any cycling clothing.

Yeah it's the fatties that look terrible in lycra. Just wear a polka dot jersey cuz you must be riding everybody off your wheel on the hills.

I have a pair of Zero RH+ bibs and when they say small, they mean it. You can find some good deals at Backcountry from time to time.
Never had any luck with Pearl Izumi or Performance brand stuff. Those are always too big.
