What to wear for VC interview?

Hi everyone, I have an interview for a venture capital internship interview in the Boston area, just wondering what I should be wearing? I know everyone there will be dressed pretty casual, will it look weird if I still go in a full suit and tie?

Thanks

Fun colored socks for pazzas. Some ideas below. Just to be conservative go with a solid color, but bright.

$40 socks... look nice but damn.

I recommend VIccel socks (in heavy winter weight b.c they are Turkish and still thin). They're ~13 bucks w/ free shipping (very slow shipping).

 

Thanks guys, I'll go with the suit and tie then. Seems like there are a few VC guys here - do you have any suggestions what I can do to stand out? I've prepared the typical questions like why vc, why our firm, studied their portfolio companies / have investment ideas. Anything else I can do?

(oh and those colored socks look nice, I'll def get some when I'm out of school haha)
