I had aztec patterns on mine
Mine spent more time on the dance floor than the rock in the end.

Who'd have thought that me wearing my cycling gear to go fishing would develop into a thread for Rod Stewart wannabes, lol.

They lasted a couple of years to be fair
As I have mentioned several times, my summer attire is a T-shirt and rugby shorts. They are also my riding attire. To go for a ride, all I have to do is put on my cycling shoes. I worked 47 years in a suit and a tie, and now T-shirt and rugby shorts it is!!! Maybe some of my now daily attire is rebellion from my working days. For 47 years I had to dress up. I even have a T-shirt that says on the front-----------------"this is as dressed up as I get".

Quite a few decades.
I wore cycling specific clothing when I was cycling to work in the late 80's, and a lot of the other cyclists I saw were also doing so.
If I'm doing anything more than a couple of miles, I just find proper cycling gear more comfortable than the casual clothes I wear around the house.
Yes, i did that as well (in the early-mid 70's). And I just wore my normal weekend casual clothes if I was going out for a ride outside of riding to school.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
There's something of a Primoz Roglic 2020 look about how Rod is wearing that helmet

Nah, Rod looks positively fresh compared to what Primoz did on that fateful day, lol. I bet he still has nightmares about that TT.

Do we actually have any young guys on this forum! Everyone seems to fall into the 50+ bracket, or at least a large % do.
When us older guys started riding decades ago were there even that many cycling specific options regarding clothing? The industry nowadays is a monster of course but it hasn't always been that way.
I've done the shorts, t-shirt and trainers thing but once I heard about marginal gains I soon bought all the "proper" gear, lol.
That way I shot from about 20kph average speed up to 20.5kph, lol.

I'm hoping my new skinsuit and aero helmet will arrest the gradual decline of my average speed from 20kph to 18 kph

They will help, but there's even more potential gains from an ebike.
Don't forget the aero gloves, socks and shoe covers.👍

WFH my right hand has been suffering cold of late and typing became difficult. I couldn’t work out why because left hand was fine. Then light bulb moment 💡Left rests on laptop keyboard (warm) whilst right is on the mouse (I.e. cold desk) which saps heat out of it. Cycling mitts now being put to secondary use.
