For competition, I ride in tights, half-chaps and a shirt that hangs out. 
It isn't too long, but at least it does not tuck in.  The tights I used to 
love, but wore them out, were cotton-lycra with fleece crotch, seat and knee 
lining.  I used to ride in them w/o undies.  Very convenient.  My current 
tights are not lined in the crotch and seat so can't do that any more.
