1 different pair of knicks per day, sometimes I'd take a second pair if it was pissing down.
1 pair of tights over them reused every day until particularly filthy.
Sponge and wet wipes for sink washing unless office has showers in which case luxury.
Some people might get away with wearing normal clothes, some people might get away with wearing a pair of knicks for more than one day (I do for racing), but if you're wet and chaffing and then you've gotta ride 30hrs over the weekend you don't want a raw arse before you start.
You can try getting away with fewer pairs but if you start to get rashes, raw skin, saddle sores, etc. you know what you need to do.
