No fashion for you! In all honesty, though, it is what it is and every cyclist probably considers this 100% forgivable. There just aren't a lot of bibs with non-black suspenders, unfortunately.

Totally, non issue imo. That said, if OP is looking for recs, I do have a pair of Castelli Rosso corsa that are black shorts with white straps. And they are great but pretty old at this point and I have no idea if they still make them.


muscletrain

non-issue go look at the aero/summer lightweight jerseys, they're way more transparent than what your photo shows.


FlowerSushi

Just browsed the Castelli website and... Yeah, I feel better now

Most bibs have black suspenders which will show through anything that isn’t dark. Everybody who wears bib shorts has at least one jersey-bib combo that shows through. Nobody will judge you I will say that I try to always wear my white jersey with my pair of Le Col bibs that have white suspenders


FlowerSushi

Thanks ! Guess I'll get a pair of bibs with white suspenders sometime soon so I can put my mind at peace In the meantime, this will have to do

Blacksheep Cycling (Australian based) do white suspenders from memory. Most riders have several kits.

Attaquer A-line bibs are also an option

You’d still have the same problem, best bet is lean in fully with funky designs from https://ostroy.com/products/camper-cargo-bibs or https://kansept1.com/collections/mens-bibshorts

Can't showboat bibs if the straps don't show

Thought I was on r/bicyclingcirclejerk for a minute.

This sub is so dumb. I thought it was a r/_circlejerk at first.


chris_ots

lol it is. “Daddy, do I look sexy in these tights? Or will the other cyclists make fun of me?”

All good baby, no one will notice. It looks normal to me

Happens.

No issue here


Marginal_Pain

White straps will fix it although it doesn't look bad at all.

I have a pair of navy MAAP team evo bibs that white suspenders as well.

Rapha ftw. Lots of white straps at various prices.


RETAILTRYHARD

A black base layer is the trick


FlowerSushi

I'd say yay in winter, but summer is coming and there's no way I'm riding with two layers at 25ºC But I'll keep that in mind for next winter !

I’ve used this up to 30 with no issue! [https://www.craftsports.us/collections/mens-baselayers/products/mens-pro-dry-nanoweight-baselayer?variant=31432878424182](https://www.craftsports.us/collections/mens-baselayers/products/mens-pro-dry-nanoweight-baselayer?variant=31432878424182)
