It's a matter of whether you want to look normal/cool/comfortable/how much skin you are comfortable with losing vs protecting yourself as much as possible.

No one can stop you from wearing jeans when you ride. Do it with the knowledge that if something happens, you're going to be hurting for a while. Having a nurse at the hospital scrub out road rash with a brush will make you think about it in a whole new light.

My philosophy is: Sweat is cheaper than skin. I don't care if people think I'm nuts walking around in leather pants, I'm never going to see them again anyway. I do it frequently and in riding boots too. People at the gas station? Grocery store? Traffic on the road? Why do I care what they think I look like? My skin is worth 100x what my pride/ego is. I wear the gear I do because most of them are inattentive assholes absorbed in their phones not looking for motorcycles anyway.

Most buildings have a bathroom of some sort you can change out your leathers for jeans in. Jeans fit very nicely in a small backpack or tail bag, just get to work 5 minutes early.

Right? Just wear whatever.

However, if we've told you about each type of gear and you wear the less protective, prepare for if you post about getting road rash.
