You look more of a twat in shorts and a t-shirt!
Honestly when I first rode bikes I felt very conspicuous wearing any motorbike specific gear at all, but very quickly the fear of loosing all my skin and breaking joints set in and I clobbered up, now I feel naked if I'm not wearing everything. it's a worry that passes.
Over the obvious helmet gloves jacket pants boots and knee, spine protection, so much choice for proper strap on jobs now. £60-120 seems to get enough protection at the minute, a very low price for reducing risk of any spine damage! I have an uncle that was rear ended by a granny in a metro and has been in a wheelchair since.

Thanks for all the advice above everyone. Really appreciate it.
I hadn’t considered ulez. Will that be the current congestion charge area or widened out?
Maybe I’ll have to consider something newer.
Will I look like a twat if I get one piece racesuit for general riding about?
