Autumn / winter cycling gear that looks "smart"

[AyeAyeMister]

I'm a community OT and at the moment I cycle to the office and to all my visits. I want to keep going as long as I can into winter. My challenge is needing clothes that are "sporty" enough to be comfortable to cycle in, lightweight so that if my legs get wet they'll dry pretty quickly. Warm enough for when it gets really cold, but smart enough so when I take my jacket / gilet off I look reasonably professional.
Im looking at arm warmers, as I've had them before and they were great. I'll probably treat myself to some new Uniqlo heattech tops. Trousers / bottoms are a bit more of a challenge as it's not too hard to remove top layers when I get to a visit, but not really bottom layers. So I potentially end up spending an hour in a boiling house doing a physical job on trousers designed for outdoors on a cold winters day!

Any good recommendations for me?

(Btw I have a cycling poncho but it acts a bit like a sail when it's windy so I don't really like wearing it)

Sweaty Betty launched a new cycling range recently - have you looked at them?

Some of the softshell womens walking trousers can be really good. Depends how smart you need though. I have some PrAna ones from decades ago that look like smart black jeans but have a four way stretch and are incredibly quick to dry. Acai look like they do a similar kind of thing.
