Designing Women's Cycling Apparel

[shootingstar]

From the people I have talked to it seems like there are two different groups. One group likes pink/purple, and floral cycling clothes, and the other prefers a more streamlined look with color blocks/solids.
However, both groups want clothing that is formed specifically for a woman's body! (which should not be too much to ask for!)
Do you think this is accurate?

What about skorts? Are they very popular? And for what sorts of rides?

I await to hear more about these 2 "camps" of skort women. I'm a more plain, solid dark colour skort and light coloured/high visibility jersey. In jersey, I like a 2-3 solid colour block jersey, if more than 1 colour.

I don't even wear padded skorts.. but go cycling occasionally up to 40 kms.

But then I don't wear cycling tights nor shorts that have a chamois. And yes, I go cycling up to 100 kms. in a day ..done loaded touring rides, etc. yea, I'm wierd. Atypical.

As for my need for decent, thoughtfully designed cycling clothing for women: I'm not a racer, never will be. I don't compete. But damn it all! .....I haven't had a car for last 25 years of life. Please live my life for once, car-free and cycling regularily for many years. There is a real rigour, 'toughness' to this lifestyle.

That's why I don't cycle in street clothing! Except walking shorts from time to time. My good dress suits, dress pants, casual pants even, dress tops and skirts, would be destroyed by now.
