I typically wear Gore bike shorts, a jersey or running shirt, Kavu Big Eddy Shorts (they can be swimming trunks, running shorts, casual shorts, pretty much anything) and a pair of Gore gloves. When it is raining I have a Rab Shell Neo Rain Jacket and Mountain Hardwear Seraction Pant.
For my lid I do plan on using a Smith Forefront Helmet but currently am using a cheap Bell helmet to replace an older Bell helmet that was slightly over 5 years old and broke recently (it was a user error not a fault of the helmet which served its life well). I also have some Pivlock Overdrive's coming for glasses (also Smith) so I can change out lenses for different conditions.
My socks are usually Injinji toe socks and shoes vary. I do plan on also going clipless.
I have a pair of arm warmers that I keep with me pretty much year round as they are lightweight and useful if things get cold or you want to keep some sun off you. That way you don't have to bring the extra bulk of a full layer and can use your summertime jersey. Another good thing is a Buff/neck gaiter they can be used for just about anything and you can even get one with a visor like Jim K.
I used to wear cotton and that was bad news bears all around.

Go Lurch!!! I have about 6 pairs of Five Fingers and love them and always want more. Though I am not keen on riding with them but as my off bike shoes they are great.
