Bike and Clothing Colours..

[Boon 51]

I was buying my first long sleeve top and got a blue one but now I've got it home I dont like the colour, so after some thinking about it I've decided to opt for black lycra shorts and all tops will be orange, yellow, green.
I have a black and red bike and I dont want matching clothes as I think that looks naff.
So Question..
Do you like to match clothing colours to the bike or do you mix it a bit..

I try to let my performance do the showing off (it's still trying to achieve that!), not my kit.

I'm afraid I buy for practicality and price. If I get a choice then I go for colours that are reasonably visible without being radioactive.

Im have team kit and helmet, which matches my bike, I think it looks cool. I also have various other bits of kit which do not match my bike.
Personally I do not care that some people think it looks naff as some people will have an opinion no matter, and equally some people believe that you should not wear Yellow or Green Jerseys unless you have won them in the tour or worked with Dr Ferrari

Wear what you want and what you like.

Oh no. I have a blue cycling jersey and black shorts with which I ride a Defy 2

Actually I don't give a flying stuff what people think. My clothing happen to match my bike but now I have a bright 'council' orange Night Vision cycling jacket the blue top won't be noticed.

For me it's down to price and have they got one big enough to fit me (I do like pink though! ).

I wear whatever is clean...most of the time anyway, it doesn't always match

 

[Lee_M]

None of mine matches, especially the A-Z map top!

you need a bright colour ideally if on the road..helps the cars see you..orange/yellows ideal..I use an orange waterproof for the winter and a white zip up for warmer days..
For the 2 days of summer i've got green and orange cycling t-shirts!

Funny you like pink as I had a pair of pink paddock boots many moons ago..

Me too and lilac, but dont think the G/F would approve

Most of my kit matches the bike(Red, black and white) but I don't think I've got 2 items from the same manufacturer.
