Pants for winter?

Hi,

I have recently bought an electric bike. Today it rained for about 5 hours straight, and obviously more rain is coming in the next days. I wonder, then, what kind of pants people wear for their bike commute. I googled the subject quite a bit but, for the most part, I find talks about tights, while I am looking for pants that look like "normal" pants (like a jeans).

I'd also like to ask about wind/rain jackets. Cycling jackets have rear pockets, which I don't need because I do about 3 commutes per day of about 3km each, so again, I'm looking for a relatively "normal-looking" jacket. Those nylon Adidas/Nike/etc training jackets, are they water resistant?

TL;DR: I'm looking for normal-looking (not "cycling") pants and jacket that are water resistant (it's OK if they're not meant for freezing temps - we never get those here).
