Very simple. I don't. I buy performance tshirts (yellow) and wear either gym shorts or cargo shorts. I've found I do just fine on 200+ km rides in regular clothing and platform pedals. Knowing I have latex sensitivity, I've never messed with spandex or lycra much, and I'm 99% certain that cleated shoes would set off my Morton's neuroma. Outside of helmets, gloves and a windbreaker, I don't think I've ever bought anything labeled as bike wear in my life.
I know that spandex itself doesn't contain latex, but the two are so often mixed that I just stay away.
I ride on roads, but my clothing is more MTB.
