I only ride in relatively loose fitting street clothes, whether it's for the 3-km commute, 10-km rides or 100 km tours. I find it comfortable (with a good Brooks leather saddle) and also convenient for when I'm off the bike.
Apart from not being interested in cycling-specific clothes, I don't like
at all the idea of close-fitting clothing. As they say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!". Besides, I don't like how they look.
I do use a helmet, cycling gloves and SPD shoes, so I use those pieces I find worthwile for me.
In terms of
fashion, I mostly ride solo, but if/when I ride with others, I couldn't care less how they dress up.
