Sartorial cycling: The Lycra evening suit

Argue all you like about the wicking properties of your chamois leather insert, Lycra cycling shorts may be practical but they are quite rightly regarded as a sartorial faux pas. Until now.

The latest all-in-one design is modelled on a two-piece suit together and boasts a handkerchief in the top pocket and a dapper red neck tie.

The skin-suit costs $150 from Podium Cycling.
