Dunno about the current colors, but this is great- comfy to 40 or lower, and you won't melt if it hits 70.

My short answer is to study the sites of cycle clothing purveyors and buy what covers your likely temperature and weather conditions. Most outfits cover a wide range. Don’t fear layering as modern stuff is ultra thin and can likely fit in a jersey pocket. My longer rambling answer follows if you care...
Having returned to cycling after a long hiatus, I’ve studied and purchased new clothing. I’m impressed with how tight, thin and functional modern cycling clothing is. I followed a tip from this site to Pactimo, a purveyor of good cycle wear with what I found to have helpful descriptions and loads of reviews. At first I couldn’t believe these micro thin garments could possibly shed cool, cold, wet... My first purchases were illuminating and I’m a convert to modern cycle specific wear.
Mind you, I’m an old climber who’s been on rock walls in 90 degrees and icey night-time perches in minus 35 in days when wicking wear was wool, angora if you had some bucks, and I still have the first iterations of goretex and fleece (looks and smells like a yak). So, I could cobble an ensemble like cyberpunk leather jackets of functional gear on the cheap that will work well...but being fortunate enough and willing to spend for stuff designed specifically for riding in various weather/temperatures isn’t a bad thing. With layering, it won’t take much to cover a huge range.

Merino Wool baselayer, Jersey, and Windproof jacket. That should work.

Chrissroger9, why the false attribution (the last paragraph of my post that you “quoted” was modified)? If to make fun of an old man rant “that in my day we...and we LIKED it”, I’ll own it. Call me out but false attributions....no. I figure you know that and that it was not your first post.
Now back you your regularly scheduled program.

I don't think that any of my long sleeve jerseys are too thin for 50°-55°. With a (short sleeve) base layer and gloves, my arms are fine. Under 50 I usually want one of the thicker ones, especially if I'm going to be out for longer than an hour.
You absolutely don't have to spend more for higher quality, to stay warm. Layer up.

I use a snug fitting thermal long sleeve pull over under my wool jersey. I did an Eroica event a few years ago in Paso Robles California and it was 38 f at the start and I was fine. I think when we finished it may have been 70f and I was not overheated. If I feel cold when I step outside I have a Merino wool cycling coat that is branded Raleigh, but most of the time I end up taking it off and tying it around my waist. I am fairly cold sensitive since my thyroid quit working a number of years ago.

What Bobby said. You need a windbreaker below 55F over jersey or tshirt.
Small fanny pack if it needs to come off. Then you need a long sleeve jersey at times too.
If looking to save $ check AliExpress, some definite cycling bargains, but be very careful about sizing and it could take a month to come, but that's half the fun!

my latest favorite...
I'm in Florida and recently started wearing the long sleeve 'Professional Fishing Gear' shirts from Columbia outfitters. yup, definitely not something you see very often, if at all, but before you start laughing this is how I rationalized the decision...
the shirts provide full coverage, collar and long sleeves that can be rolled up
they are vented in the back between the shoulder blades so the shirt doesn't balloon up like a parachute
they have an SPF rating of 50 so I can skip the suncreeen
they have pockets where I can store the sunglasses if the trail gets really shaded
they come in lots of colors including hi optic yellow but I prefer light blue
they are only $25-30 at the outlet mall or online...
they also have the dry-fit type shirts if you want something more traditional...
I have a couple of both...
next week when the expected high is 58 I might have to wear both!

I also checked out the alternatives like Magellan from Academy but they are more expensive and the SPF rating isn't as high...

Where I ride, it might start cold but the day usually warms. For 45 degrees to 60 I just wear solar sleeves (Pearl Izumi) & take them off above 65. for 35 to maybe 55 degrees I wear thermal arm warmers (such as Pearl Izumi again. My LBS carries this).
I don't prefer a long-sleeve base layer as they don't protect well & can be a bit flappy. If you go that route, avoid cotton; they just gets damp and wicks away heat

This is the temp range I find a wool long sleeve jersey to be perfect for and is what I use every winter season in desert AZ. Perfect from 40 to 65F. Workable from 35 to 70F.
