I don't wear a visability vest except dusk to dawn.

And I always always wear a mask. Not always over mouth and nose, but ready to pull up when there are people I'm overtaking or who are passing me.

The one other thing I wear is gaiters. Under my long sweats. I've had a number of falls since I started back riding, and those falls have each time cut open my shins. Several times that's ended in bad cellulitis. So now I always wear gaiters to protect my lower legs, even though I no longer ride a bike that I'm likely to fall on.
