How about those silicon gel strips that are used to stop lycra shorts riding up / leg warmers slipping down?
Add some vertically to the sides / back of the lycra shorts and another set horizontally on the inner waist band of the shorts.
If anyone's tried this whether for shorts or similar to stop cycling jerseys riding up, some feedback would be good.
Been using braces for years, as MTB short's belts are really crap. Was happy using Oregon black logger chainsaw braces, as other ones I've used just rust or stretch, but I like the look of those decathlon ones. The oregon braces jaws (you could sew in buttons for the other strap version) are a bit sharp, but I've not done significant damage to any of my shorts using them
Put your bibs on over your baggies? 🤣
I also added belt loops to a pair of Madison riding trousers after losing 10kg (couldn’t afford smaller trousers at the time) and wore an Arcade elasticated belt to hold them up. This worked really well

Oakley have a silicon gripper in the internal waistband of some models (at least an old pair of Arroyo's I have do) but I guess it's a fairly niche requirement so not many manufacturers bother
Fit, weight, and design?
Braces work very well as folks have described.
I find my slightly less baggy Endura 3/4 baggies slide down more than my much baggier Hummvee zip-offs’ shorts. Maybe due to drag on the over-the-knee bit?
the 7Mesh glide path shorts I got a few weeks back don’t really slide down over a pair of Lycra shorts. No silicone grippers, but the waist adjuster and cut of the waist/hip band seems to position them really well. What with the great pocket design and slight stretch in the material these are great.
Endura clip in liners seem to crawl down with the shorts. Plus clipping them in is a pain. And most significant: for me they are the most uncomfortable padded shorts I’ve ever worn.
I have a friend who wears saxx (spelling could be wrong) undies while he’s riding. Do you do something similar or go commando?
I think you spell it 'sexy'.
All our rides finish at the pub (them ‘s the rules) and if you’re happy sat with a pint, in a public space, in an outfit that screams ‘EVERYONE LOOK AT MY FUN-SIZED MARS BAR!’, then good for you. I’m all for empowerment, it’s just not for me (see above ‘burst black pudding’ comment).
I run my baggies with a wide nylon webbing belt. Not the feeble spaghetti things that come with them and outdoor trousers but a wide one with a pull through and clamp buckle.
I think it's actually these ones.
I have a set of clip in liner Endura Humvees and I'm more likely to wear a pair of decent bibs under them or boxers as the liner doesn't quite seem to be in the right place relative to the short. It's not just Endura I had the same with some Specialized shorts before.
As for Cotton underwear for longer rides (per page one) I'm really not convinced by that.
Even close fitting cotton has a habit of scrunching up and creating pressure points and it holds sweat and moisture in a way most decent synthetics don't.
Alright for an hour or two or a gentle paced touring ride maybe but not for sustained effort for several hours.
