The other problem is that my body shape has changed and a lot of my more fashionable clothing doesn't work so much. I put down muscle rather easily and Cavalli doesn't make jeans to fit cyclist quads. On the other hand, I've lost a good deal of volume on my waist/upper thighs, so the waist and butt of a lot of my pants look really lousy and sloppy. I find that I don't stop to shop so much riding my bike home, either.
Bike commuting has changed what I choose to buy abit to wear for work since some stuff is difficult to fold up without causing creases that are difficult to shake out.

I currently work at a construction site for an engineering firm where it's been more jeans and casual pants. Previously I worked in more formal workplaces where there was (and still is) a dress code. While jeans are great, I'm finding it masks weight gain.....unless I spend yet more hrs. trying to find jeans that are tighter and aren't hipsters.

Not even sure why people like hipsters,..allows your gut to hang over and expand slowly.
