Dress code for Consulting

Hi everyone!

I am an incoming analyst at a Management Consulting firm in NYC and I recently got word from my firm that I will be starting in person come September.

I was wondering what are the basic pieces of clothing I should be aiming to have (are polos and/or business casual shirts appropriate, or just dress shirts? Are chinos/un-ripped jeans appropriate, or just dress pants?) and if any consultants have advice about packing a carry on for travel.

Thanks for any insight in advance!
