Pro tip: I was ruining my work shirts by changing in the bathroom stall, and a $6 gym towel fixed it
For about four months I did the full change in the handicap stall at my office in Denver, and every single morning I would walk out with my dress shirt creased down the back and my hair a wreck from balling up my riding gear. Then one Tuesday last month a guy I share the bike rack with watched me fight my polo over my helmet and just said, stop dressing in there, you are steaming yourself. He walked me through his setup: he rolls in 15 minutes early, wipes down with a wet towel he keeps in a zip bag, and changes at his desk behind a cheap standing screen he got for $12. I tried it the next morning and the difference was real. The towel rub down drops your skin temp fast, so you stop sweating before the shirt goes on, and nothing gets wrinkled in a bag because your work clothes never left the hanger. My commute is 6.2 miles and I used to show up with pit stains by 9 a.m. Now I am dry and my shirts last way longer between washes. Does anyone else do a full wipe down before dressing, or am I late to this party?

Skip the wipe, swap to linen shirts, they breathe.
