Baggies and Lycra! Wrong or Right

On the MTB If it’s cold then its Bib shorts + Knee warmers or leg warmers + baggies if it’s wet and cold then the Bib shorts + knee warmers/leg warmers + cut off surplus water proofs, if the weather is warm then I wear Endura padded boxers under baggy shorts, they are great…
Can’t see much wrong with layering up/down as the conditions dictate, never been that keen on just lycra for “proper” MTB riding, id rather tear some cheaper baggy shorts in a crash than rip through a nice pair of bib shorts and have my arse hanging out for the rest of a ride… Having said that if I’m out on the road bike then I just wear the lycra, just the “Uniform” for Roadies and XC racers innit?
I guess it’s part function, part “Uniform” (is that such a terrible thing?), I can’t say I get that hung up on what others wear, in much the same way you can ride whatever bike you like; I think riding in whatever kit you like is perfectly acceptable…

Wear whatever makes you comfortable on the bike, buqqer appearances.
There's no way anyone past their teens can look 'cool' on a bike anyway - whatever you wear non-bikers will think you look like a prize coq

"Sorry, I didn't realise that you were riding at an Elite level despite your indecision about clothing choices. I look forward to seeing you beast the field at the first round of the BMBS."
Dougal it was merely a simple question, but I don't like to be branded an "all the gear type" I have one bike and no bike specific clothing. If I only i was rich and could afford all the posh altura? gear.
