    I wear technical walking/climbing/running clothes that look look fine in the office. A good base layer, with something like a softshell jacket over it. A good proper waterproof for the actual cycling if the weather is bad (not a cycling "waterproof", but better and more effective). I wear trecking trousers, which look like normal casual clothes but are much much tougher (have survived a few "offs" from the bike"). Waterproof boots in winter. Shimano Mountain boots are both waterproof and have cleats, and are no problem to walk around in during the day. A really good pair of waterproof leggings, plus cheap hillwalking gators finish off the lower body on the wet days.

    Apart from the waterproofs, no changes required, everything looks acceptable, and is probably more resiliant than most standard cycling clothes. (I've actually worn less resiliant stuff climbing the highest mountains in Ireland)

    The key is to buy good quality stuff in outdoor shops that doesn't look overly sporty.

    Could you send some examples please? Just to have some ideas
