I prefer the uncoordinated look.

Wouldn't want people thinking I am trying too hard now would we?

Apart from my bibshorts all my kit is second hand off ebay. Including my hi Viz shoes. So it's all a bit of a Mish mash. But I'm not bothered what I look like. It's about function rather than form. Obviously I think I look fabulous when I'm swanning about the cafe stops, but actually the look is more chipolata than cippolini.

I tend to go for plain stuff. Current favourite brand is Isadore. Fits nicely and the bib shorts are really comfortable.

My favourite though is my Foska ‘King of the Pies’ Shirt.

So I'm not exactly new to cycling, I've been road cycling for a year now but never really taken it that seriously till now. I'm looking at buying some new jerseys and shorts as I only have one set so my question is, how hard should I try to match it all? Should I get the full set from one company or just keep the colours more or less the same?

Find a brand that fits you 'right' and stick with it where possible - takes the guess work out of buying new kit, that's the only mantra you need.
Once happy with your chosen fit, buy a plain looking bib & jersey that vaguely match from the sale/clearance section, job done. I'm of an age where wearing heavily branded garb (especially team sponsors on team kits) make me feel like an attention-seeking, daft wannabe... but y'know, you just be you.
