You guys mean to say that you DON'T wear your cycling kits as daily clothes?

Mine was pretty big, I wear it to sleep sometimes.

Ahh, mediums fit me perfectly, except they are usually too short for my long torso and I end up with a disgusting bare midriff any time I lift my arms.

I am rather small (5'6 115) as well and have always had a hard time finding clothing that fits PROPERLY, but i have found designers that suite my needs:

Bottoms: 7 for all mankind, BDG, Rock & Republic, THEORY, Polo slim fit, Zara, Burberry slim fit, H&M, The new Lacoste slim fit

Tops: THEORY, Burberry slim fit, Polo, KOSTYM(cheap monday's nicer brand), Lacoste, Hugo boss(designer sucks....but they make very small sizes)

Interesting. The three people right next to me all got mediums as well, so I just figured they only made 1 size. Guess not.

No one is impressed by the fancy horse logo on your chest.

Same situation here at 63 inches tall, 105 lbs.... basically built like a skinny 14 year old but decades older. Fortunately I rarely need designer clothing, so for most of my needs I raid thrift stores for boy's stuff. REI and LL Bean have worked well for me as sources of kids' clothing that looks more adult-like in style.

I've found that designer clothes fits me much better, because the cuts are better and usually the fabric is too. The express shirts that I have are really nice and a bit stretchy too. I hate buying clothes and never pay full price.
