I used to ride with a dude who insisted on wearing a solid white kit on the biggest group ride of the week. It showed…a lot. 
And to stay in topic with the thread, it depends. I have some nicer bibs that are a few years old and still feel brand new (at least to my ass) and some more affordable ones that haven’t held up as well. Trainer rides, especially long ones, are definitely “nicer bibs” rides for me.
