My mother has a pic of me with fiancee numero uno, it on a bookshelf where everybody can see it, it's awful. I am 20 and on holiday in the Alps, my fiancee coerced me into buying and wearing identical chunky, multi-coloured, harlequin style, round neck sweaters. I look such a twat.

Normally I wouldn't agree with someone....My mother has a pic of me with fiancee numero uno, it on a bookshelf where everybody can see it, it's awful. I am 20 and on holiday in the Alps, my fiancee coerced me into buying and wearing identical chunky, multi-coloured, harlequin style, round neck sweaters. I look such a twat.

Edit:that was aimed at @Marshmallow_Fluff -the quote thingy can't cope with the intensity of your agony at just the thought of mismatched underwear

VPL too, down with VPL
Up with VPL. I've listened to women complaining about VPL, gaping blouses and skirts "riding" up their thighs, and thought, "Yes, I like all of those".

You've just reminded me of the day i almost disowned my mother and sister...
its was the early to mid nineties... a scary abundance of
shell suits peppered our towns and cities. Worn by young and old alike, black, white and yellow... the shell suit didn't know prejudice, nor did it know taste. Most evil of all was the shell suit coloured pink, purple or lilac, and Satan himself designed one that utilised all three of the aforementioned colours. Imagine my horror when visiting my parents to find not only my sister wearing a pink/purple/lilac shell suit, but my niece, and my mother wearing one too!!!! Three generations of matching shell suits... I should have flicked matches at them there and then.

I'm kind-of stuffed with the clothes-matching-bike thing - I have 2 black bikes, one that's so dark blue it may as well be black, but the fixed is purple. With purple tyres.
And I flatly refuse to wear purple kit. I'd look like a blackcurrant, albeit one that's 5'7" and has been on a diet of pies.
However.
Socks must match, obviously, and go with the shoes. White ankle-length socks are an abomination. Long black socks on a bike are just wrong - Armstrong should have been thrown off the Tour on those grounds alone.
Cycle jersey with red in it - red gloves. Fact.
Ditto for blue.
Speaking of blue - blue anodised bits are silly and pointless, unless your bike is so blue that it'd look silly without the anodised bits. This is a very subjective distinction, best not dabbled with unless you're very sure of your ground. Or unless your name starts with an Ian and ends with a rauk.
Black bar tape goes with any colour of frame, but should be matched with a black saddle.
White tape is just silly, as it stays white for about 15 nanoseconds, and the same goes for saddles.
Looks cool as hell in the shop, and looks terrible 20 yards down the road. Don't do it to yourself.
I have spent waaaaaaay too long thinking about all these things.

Socks only need to match above the shoe line. As for underwear, I always make sure I'm wearing matching pants and bra. MrsR isn't a big fan, but hey ho.......

Oh, I forgot, always make sure you change all your stainless steel bolts to titanium; that way they will never rust.

What does that stand for then?
I am also aware of the 'VBL' or 'VBBL' with guys wearing boxer briefs with the prominent horizontal lines up the back!
