Depends if you want actual cycling stuff, i.e. having to change into regular clothes after riding somewhere. I've found that anything 'cycle specific' like bibs and leggings and jerseys etc are all a massive improvement on 'regular' clothes when actually going out to ride, but then I weigh up the time/effort for the commute, and usually just go with whatever I'm wearing as it only takes me 12 minutes to be from my doorstep to my desk. If you're not forced to ride in horrendous weather, then I think you'll be fine with just getting a nice pair of gloves or something. I can't speak from experience, but I can't imagine any 'commuter' gear will make any substantial difference if the only difference is a bit of 3M tape...
