I never knew fashion police was actually a thing. Even more bizarre realizing strict fashion rules are enforced in the MTBers community! Who would have thunk it!

No, M&D's was solely the Bachardy family.
So there are two factors, one the bike feel when riding and hanging out in the parking lot.
Take into account, where ever they fall while standing, it will be shorter when you are riding, so this is where some of the club ride shorts feel too short as they are above my road kit tan line, which is OMG EMBARRASSING territory. I find that at the knee cap, or just below (like Fred, with the red shorts (his name is fred, lol)) with put them just above the knee when riding, which is perfect IMO. That being said, they can look kinda goofy when you hanging out in the lot. The ones I have on are fox rangers, which are around knee height, with my knee bent, you can see they are just above the knee, perfect.
Lyrca bibs as a liner for baggies is acceptable, however:
It can be hot in summer
Looks goofy if the bottom of the liner short sticks out of baggies while riding
I find that the lycra fabric rubs against the baggies in a funny way and can cause some comfort issues.
There are no strict fashion rules. It more like, Hey, this is how not to look like a tool.

Yup, Mark and Dad! I played football on the Pioneers with Mark. Dudeman had the sickest Elf. I thought his Dad worked at Pete's prior? Am I wrong? It’s been a long time. I wonder what’s going to happen with the spot now that there is a down town renovation agenda. Would make for a cool Coffee spot.

Which agency is responsible to determine what looks like a tool in general and more specifically in the MTB community?
Tools, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder
A fanny pack fixes all your problems.

^^^^^ THIS!
Not as bad as long baggies all summer and then bibs during cross. Tan on the bottom, white stripe above the knee, then bibs.
Of course we know that's worse with me as I wear 5" inseam bib shorts as that's apparently what I found on sale.

Based on your stipulation , (impersonal) you can define an entire set of rules intended to determine what is and what isn't proper cycling attire but those rules only apply to the beholder (again, impersonal you) and not to the actual cyclist wearing the supposedly 'offensive' outfit. Doesn't that mean that what is to be determined is if the beholder is a tool?
Baffling!
pics or it never happened!

I have the sombrio bib liners that have pockets, they are really good, but expensive. I also have some rei ones that were on sale for $15, for $15 they good.
I have heard good things about the specialized swat ones and will peep the blackbibs ones.
Meh to camelbacks, not opposed them, just so hot in the summer. But nothing compares for long rides.
I tried the Fanny pack thing, I just didn’t like it bouncing around.
@Patrick rode nekkid?
pretty sure that would be poorly chosen, but i guess to each their own, hopefully any pictures are tastefully sensored, this is a place to BRING a family after all . . . .
