I always wear gloves and a textile or leather jacket.
If the weather is cold or wet, Jeans and textile trousers, if it is warm, leather trousers and if it is hot, just jeans but you feel a lot more vulnerable.
On my feet it is nearly always boots.
Having just got back from Turkey I saw most people rode in just t-shirts and shorts or trousers (no jeans, gloves or helmets) but then almost all the bikes I saw were mopeds. The odd big bike I saw was German and the riders were fully kitted out apart from one of the dive instructors who wore a tshirt, shorts and flip flops (he did have a helmet though) to ride home on his TDM.
It was 40+ degrees there though so I went for the aircon'd car instead.
