7.5 mile commute - Spandex ?

Started a new job, 7.5 mile commute each way. I had a 12 mile commute previously, and geared up for my ride, changing into work clothes when I got there. I've had a 4 mile commute...I just wore work clothes on the ride and it was fine.

7.5 seems...frustratingly in the middle. I feel like I'm just getting warmed up once J start getting close to work so it's totally doable in work clothes. But also...it's about 35 minutes through the city and does feel like an actual bike ride. Also..I think i've got a mild saddle sore from riding in regular pants last week

What would you guys do? I should add the new gig is fairly casual...khakis and a polo shirt is totally acceptable for example.
