What to wear cycling at 25°C (77°F)
From 25°C the question isn't what to wear but how little. The lightest jersey you own and bib shorts, and the rest is about heat: ride early or late, drink more than you think you need, and don't forget sunscreen on the back of your neck.

Short answer
Lightweight summer jersey, bib shorts and regular cycling socks. Optional: fingerless gloves.
The forecast's feels-like temperature, adjusted for how hard you ride, how warm you naturally run and riding into the wind. Your hands and feet don't warm up as much from effort, so their kit is chosen a bit warmer.
Feels like 25°C, moderate pace, light wind (10 km/h, 6 mph), no rain. Same logic as the calculator.
