Absolute best thing is to get some decent hard-wearing over shoes.
When I commuted (20-40m) on a bike I either wore Rapha touring shorts, Zara stretch chino Jean things, or if it was cold PX thermal unpadded bibs with the touring shorts.
I generally got changed at work. I also had radiators in my flat so just had one of everything except Zara trousers.
As everyone said length of commute is key.
