Hi Everyone, New to the Forum!

Welcome, Stephanie!

I don't own a single fashionable thing so I'm no help there. Although my niece did say my Northface jacket was "bangin'" (when I bought it on clearance seven years ago).

My experience with indoor cycling is that the majority of the people have never been on a road bike, wear gym styled athletic clothes, and think outdoor cyclists are weird! It was not like this when I first went to spin classes 10 years ago. Soul Cycle seems a little cultish, so I could understand if you feel different!
I wear my regular cycling shorts, but I also have a pair (and some capris) with a very thin chamois that i use for commuting and look less like road wear. I do wear jerseys, but I have found wearing a sleeveless one makes you stand out less and are just cooler for the steamy atmosphere. You could always wear a regular athletic tank for spin. I get those from Athleta.

Welcome Stephanie! Like Crankin, when I was still taking spinning classes I wore regular bike shorts with either sleeveless jerseys or a tech t-short (no cotton). In the end, it's your ride and we all know those shorts make life far more comfortable

Thanks Crankin! You're so right, it seems like a lot of people go straight to spinning because it's "in" right now or because a friend dragged them along. At least most people have realized the benefits of cycling shoes.
