When cycling with other female riders, I’m often asked the question, “Where did you find your jersey?” It’s a common occurrence. I’m convinced that most cycling shops don’t have a clue about fashion and what women really want to wear. That is why it’s so hard to find stylish and interesting jerseys. Pink, polka dot, and ugly floral patterns are not what most female riders want to wear. Save the polka dots for the kids. I’m a young athletic adult. I want something fun, something different.
If you’re searching for the standard, one or two-color jersey with a minimalist pattern, then look no further. The cycling shop is the place for you. However, if you want something creative, unique, and downright fun, keep reading.
Online stores seem to have the best selection. I rarely purchase jerseys in cycling shops these days because everything looks the same. Nothing catches my attention. You have more options online, but the down side is that it does take time to research all of those options, and you have to weed through a lot of frogs before you find your prince. In order to make the process easier and help you get started in your online shopping journey, I’m sharing a few of my favorite jerseys and where you can find them.
-
Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham from Retro, $74.90. By far, this is the jersey that gets the most compliments from other riders. They love it and so do I. There are a few other Dr. Seuss options on the Retro website and a new design coming in the Fall, so check those out too.
-
Curious Penguins from ScudoPro on Amazon.com, $39.99. This jersey reminds me of Angry Birds, but with Penguins.
-
Giraffe Animal Print by AeroTechDesigns, $24.95. When I found this jersey, it made me laugh. I like how the giraffe design continues from front to back. There’s also a nice reflective stripe on the top of the sleeve.

Chat Noir by Retro, $74.90. I don’t have this jersey yet, but I love these Art Nouveau posters and think they make a great canvas for a cycling jersey. I’m certain it will be another highly complimented jersey when it becomes part of my cycling wardrobe. Another one of my favorites in this style is Cycles Brillant from BicycleGifts.com. I was impressed with the quality of the shirt and the customer service from this company. It came nicely packaged and included a personal note, which is a rarity these days.
If these options are too bold for your taste, you may also want to check out TeamEstrogen.com. They have a nice selection of women’s cycling jerseys, some that are standard faire, but there are many other options beyond what you would find in a typical bike shop. They also have a great selection of tanks and base layers.
