+1 I do the same as you

When I don't have external meetings I can get away with "workplace casual" -- Dockers slacks and Lands End oxford shirts. The slacks survive the trip pretty good if I press them, and the bike jacket doesn't seem to mess up the shirts. I keep a spare pair of shoes in my desk to change into from the boots.

Oh my, you boys have it so easy! You just don't know!

I usually put my dressy sandals/shoes in the saddle bags, wear my leather (or mesh) jacket over my top. Sometimes I'll wear my dress pants (they look awesome with my boots!

) but sometimes I'll wear jeans and change when I get to work.

Of course, when I want to wear a skirt, I gotta change once I get to work!

Now, if I could only figure out how to stop my hair from kinking funny under my helmet, I'd be set!

It's business casual were I work. I just wear my work cloths. My jacket doesn't mess up the golf style shirts and I don't wear any riding pants. My regular dockers style pants stay wrinkle free in the wind. I wear regular old steel toed work boots when I ride and just keep them on all day. How often does anyone really look at shoes? But the fact I don't attend many meetings and never, ever deal with customers, it is a bit easy for me to get away with the boots on all day.

Hey consider yourself lucky...I wish I could wear sandals, shorts, and sleeveless shirts to work and they'd still call it "dress clothes". In the hot summer professional ladies have a sweet deal. Us guys are stuck with pants, close-toed dress shoes, and long-sleeve buttondowns.

CNF... Sorry about the unfair dress code! The guys around here (law firm) are sometimes dressed more casually than the ladies!

Who's wearing shorts to work? I want to work there!

Don't be so sure

I work in a large data center in the desert where shorts are allowed. 95% of the people there should not wear them

Desk jockey...so... bring the jacket, skirt and/or dress and shoes (in a backpack) and change at work. Sometimes, I can get away with wearing the shirt/blouse under my jacket if it isn't one of those burning hot days. I found my clothing doesn't wrinkle too badly if I roll it versus folding it. And I leave 2 pairs of shoes at work cause m-c boots look terrible with dresses & skirts (didn't leave my office that day!). The helmet hair is well hidden pulled back in a pony-tail.
