This is atually a topic I've thought about at times. I have some semi-casual pants that I can just barely get away with at work that have a zipper around the mid thigh. I can remove them lower leg and get shorts. The only draw back at work is that they have cargo pockets which look kind of dress down. I generally just wear skin shorts and in cooler weather put leg warmers on over the shorts. I then change in the closet in my office.
