Good luck.

+1 True.

Also, an obvious thing is that you shouldn't use a backpack. Use a pannier instead.

Target sells Champion Polo shirts made of the same wicking fabric as their C2 compression shirts. They're billed as "golf" shirts and work well. $19 each IIRC. Some nice designs and colors.

I'd go for a merino wool t-shirt underneath your button up shirt. And of course riding at a moderate (vs. strenuous) pace.

If you can go polo's. Nike makes some dri-fit golf shirt polos that seem to work well off bike and look good in the office. Downside, they are about $50 or $60, depending on if you get strips or not. Available with UV 30 pdf included.
