Vogue tells us how it's done

[taxing]

There's an article in this month's Vogue with tips on how to dress for cycling. I thought I'd share a few:

• If you must wear bike shorts, go for Prada, Emporio Armani or Unique.
• Vogue's Miranda Almond recommends vests by Alexander Wang, classic Superga trainers and a Patagonia waterproof jacket. Espadirlles (sic) are aother (sic) good option.
• Make Marc by Marc your go-to shop for boldly printed shorts and jackets.

Vogue has spoken. Throw away those hideous jerseys! Buy Prada shorts! Heed this advice or forever be an embarrassment to your children!

Charlotte Sinclair, associate features editor, leads by example: "I ride a very old, rusty, spray painted (my anti-theft plan!) Ridgemaster from Portobello Road to Hanover Square, approximately 4 miles. Normally, I'll wear shorts from Country Road, and a vest by Phillip Lim, and in the office I'll change into trousers by Phillip Lim and a Whistles T-shirt. I always wear a helmet, obviously (there's no way of looking good in a helmet yet, Marc Jacobs needs to get onto this!), Dermalogica sun cream, Stella McCartney sunglasses (best to avoid eye contact when you're flagrantly riding on No Cycling paths through the park)."

I'm a little bit worried for her. While it's nice that she can afford so many clothes by Phillip Lim, if she needs to change after cycling four miles, she has a problem.

She said that she changed, not that she needed to..... its more about fashion than practicality

I assume you picked up a copy at the dentist?

Do they make Prada for men? I'll have a look at Wiggle for some Armani chamois .

But then why the grufty bike? I'd imagine all Vogue staff to be pootling around on Pashleys and refusing to lock them up because it spoils the lines of the bike.

(What I'm saying is I'm imagining her as a Sweaty Betty and I'd like to stick with that. Imagine all the washing she has to do if she changes her outfit for every single activity!)


Rich - I read it online, my textiles teacher mate reads it and sent me the link.

She may be one of those awful people who can wear white and not look grubby after 5 minutes. I hate them!

Oooh, where are you? St Martins?

Nowhere that glamorous I'm afraid. Hull! The local college does textiles and fashion degrees, though the university doesn't.

Why does she always wear a helmet in the office? Have they got the builders in?

Miranda and Charlotte are one of us, they are cyclists.

I think she is missing that cycle shorts have a big padded baboon arse.

She covered that a bit later on, "Do not even think about wearing any kind of padded lycra shorts (why would you want to add volume to your derriere?)"

Cos' it might just stop you from getting sore bits.

Vogue would rather have sore bits than a fat arse.

Oh damn and blast! I must have missed Vogue's expert advice on cyclists' anal depilation as well...
