Interesting article from the Wall Street Journal about bike clothing suitable for work. Not sure I would wear any of this stuff but food for thought.
Office-Friendly Bike Clothing: Don't Sweat the Commute
Dress up for your bicycle commute with this water-resistant, stretchy and stylish clothing.

Give your bike clothing an office-friendly makeover.
WHO SAYS YOU can't wear a suit on a bike? Especially a suit made from wind- and water-resistant fabric with reflective pant cuffs.

Velocipedists who'd rather not shower or change after hopping off their bikes have a closetful of "cycling formal wear" options—clothing that looks office-friendly, yet is comfortable to ride in: not too tight, vented to minimize sweating, and rain- and wind-resistant. Most important, the fabrics are stretchy enough to allow a full-range of movement, but aren't so shiny that they look cheesy.
