Will the dress code be more relaxed when we return to the office?

Basically title. I started out virtual and didn't have a prior internship in IB before FT so I never had to wear a suit to the office. Honestly after grinding at home in shorts and a polo, I can't imagine wearing a suit everyday, especially in the long hours just to sit behind a screen. 

Anyone have any insight on expectations? Is it more comfortable than it sounds? Do you get used to it eventually?

I'm back in the office. We were previously a very loose business casual. We're now very casual except for no shorts or tshirts. I think the dress code would be very difficult to return to the old ways.
