Edit 01, Quiet Miles
Three autumn looks in earth, chocolate and sand, with the rain layer treated as part of the kit.
Autumn is where cycling clothes get more interesting. You still want the jersey and bibs to look good together, but there is a decent chance you are leaving with a jacket in your pocket.
I kept coming back to the same colours: earth, navy, chocolate, olive, sand and off-white. They work together without much effort. The main thing is that the extra layer should look like it belongs, not like something you only put on because it started raining.
Look 01 of 3, Earth / Navy / Off White
Earth and navy, with the rain shell doing the light work.
I like earth much more with navy than black. It feels warmer and less racey. The off-white rain jacket is what makes this an autumn look, and I would leave it there rather than add another colour.

White is enough. No need for another colour.
Look 02 of 3, Chocolate / Olive
Keep the kit brown, then put olive over it when the weather turns.
The chocolate jersey and bib are already strong together, so I would not do much else. The olive rain jacket is the useful bit: dark enough to sit with the brown, but different enough that the whole thing does not become one block of colour.

The brown is unusual, but still very easy to wear.

Look 03 of 3, Sand / Black
The one with a bit more going on, so everything else stays simple.
The Sand jersey is the only graphic piece in this Edit and that is enough. Black bibs, off-white socks, done. I would ride this on the drier days and put a shell in the pocket if the forecast looks questionable.

This is the only print I would add to the Edit.

Off-white is better than bright white against sand and black.
