I go with 2 bibs and a pair of overtights (none are waterproof). They get about 1hr 30 minutes - 2hrs a day so I reckon they’re good for a 3 - 4 hour ride each - so two day’s worth. If one gets particularly wet or needs washing you can turn that around in a day whilst using the others. The overtights are generally good for a week. I have two merino base layers (One sleeveless, one long sleeved) which are good for a week, two long sleeved jerseys for winter two short sleeved jerseys for summer, one gilet and one waterproof softshell jacket for when it’s properly cold or wet.

I'm shopping for clothing for the upcoming cold and wet months that'd be easy to commute with too. With waterproof cycling bibs, its prolly obvious but do you guys have one for each day of the week if they're for cycling to work everyday? Can't imagine only have one pair for the week, but would still be costly to have so many?
I'd imagine could probably get away with 1 x waterproof jacket + overshoes + cap as for the other items. I is well skint and would prefer the absolute minimum required but also a vain bastard so I'd want to go for quality gear.
I have some overtrousers I used to wear over office trousers which were so baggy, and they're not really suited to riding with a fixie anyway. Essentially just want the minimum fuss of cycling without getting too wet or cold, and especially not getting me socks soggy.
