To be honest I dont when I train/exercise. Only when riding an older road bike around the city.

I know it is a little hard to get used to , but once you start wearing it, you will get used to it pretty soon. You may not have ever worn skintight outfits and it may look silly to you at first. But once you step outside you will realize no one even gives you a second look. You simply look like every other roadie out there.

If anything, it is street clothes that make you kinda stand out and look out of place. If you get serious enough, you will get to a point where the street clothes will start to feel awkward. Also, you will get to a point where you start caring more about comfort and performance. For these two things, cycling specific clothes can make a big difference.

So my advice is: Throw away your notions of what looks weird. It does not apply on a roadbike. Wear the "spandex" or "lycra", also wear the goofy helmet. I will leave it up to you whether you want to shave your legs
