I would just like to pipe in that cotton is a bad choice because it does not wick the dampness away from your skin and many a cyclist has ended up getting pretty sick from that myself included.KiwiStoker
If you don't need the pockets just buy some quick dry t-shirts or similar to ride in. Cotton soaks up the sweat and damp patches show.
Otherwise there have been many good suggestions given I never regretted spending a few bucks on my first pair of cycling shorts or my first jersey, still wear them *gulp* 12 or 13 years later! Great investment!
Happy riding GenB and welcome!

Life is like a 10 speed bike, we all have gears we never use.

"The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands and, when it gets old and shabby, a woman can dispose of it and get a new one without shocking the entire community." — Ann Strong, Minneapolis Tribune, 1895
