My LBS just got in a boatload of Giordana-labelled clothes with the shop logo. He has women's jerseys, but the accessories and shorts, tights, and bibs are all "unisex" - i.e., mens. I'm thinking of buying some shorts for the shop rides...so I can be a TRUE poseur with the big dogs.

Is there any real issue with wearing men's bike shorts??

Will the chamois be THAT uncomfortable for me??

I am rather...um..."hippy" and I wonder if they will even fit me properly vs. men's usual CLNB status (that is: "Chicken Legs, No Butt"). You know...snug at the hips, loose at the waist (wait...most women's pants fit me like that!).

So...will I grow hair in strange places if I wear men's shorts? Start scratching myself at inappropriate times? Anyone want to admit that they've worn (or wear) men's shorts?
