Cool cycling lifestyle clothes and shoes?
I am now wearing cycling shoes (spd types) most of the day since I donīt walk that much and use my bike to get around just about everywhere. I wear mostly joggers and some breathable cotton Ts cuz they look hella stylish 2gether. I feel like cycling has defined my life and who I am. Are there any affordable cycling lifestyle brands that blend performance and style?

I either wear my typical Seattle slob clothes with Sidis or go full Old Woman In Lycra.

Walmart. Gym shorts and yellow "performance" t shirts .Keeps me cool for a 12 hour ride, but I suspect that isn't what you mean.

something like this would be cool but with breathable fabrics and quick dry property in case of a storm.

Cotton kills. Don’t wear it.
I wore a long long sleeve polyester fishing shirt (Columbia PFG) today and it looked pretty darn dapper. It was long enough to cover my diminutive male member, as I was wearing Lycra shorts because they are functional.

I love Santini. Italian-made, high quality, competitively priced and sized for various build types. Read their cycle wear fits world-class racers and mortal humans alike. I have Pactima, Rapha and a host of others but the Santini jerseys and shorts are my favorites. Santini has sales all the time on their site and really good deals can be had.

I wish that someone would come out with a white button down dress shirt, that looks exactly like you'd wear it with a business suit, but with 3 pockets in the back. The only people who would notice and understand would be cyclists.
