RE: Riding in "work clothes"?
Combination of Fla Glide and Casper...
Usually wear jeans with shirt & tie with mesh jacket over it... change to dress pants and shoes at work. Carry pants and shoes in saddle bag.
Or...
Leather over-pants... mighty hot down here in Nuevo Cuba (South Florida), however... usually just do the jeans/dress pants swap!!!
Jim aka kiltiemon (I always wear boots on the bike)

There are days I ride in wearing my uniform. No funny looks, but it seems that trffic around me seems to move a little closer to the speed limit.
In cooler weather, I just wear chaps over my uniform. Along with the jacket, nobody can see the uniform at all.
Other days (ie, no part time job to get to after work), I wear civvies, and change at the office.

RE: Riding in "work clothes"?
We switched to Business Casual so I just ride to work in my work clothes. I wear a leather jacket when it is cool and a mesh jacket when it is hot.
We had to wear suits previously. I would put the jacket in the saddle bag and put on the leather or mesh. Did it look stupid? Don't care, I was riding. Did my suit wrinkle? Don't care, I was riding.

Try to find good wrinkle free clothes if your worried about wrinkles. I just wear my jacket and chaps if I'm in dresser cloths then jeans....I take an extra pair of shoes cause boots just don't go with everything[8D].
My boss just finally relented and lets me wear jeans and a nice shirt to work during the months I ride to work...since I live in CA he sees those jeans probabl more then he would like...

We are business casual so I just ride in to work without changing. The only thing that sucks is not using the highway pegs because my paints bunch up!Tried the tie downs but they are a pain to deal with.
We do have casual Fridays so then it's jeans and a Harley t shirt. I have a pair of boots that that look good either way so I wear them all week.
