What do Interns Wear?

Help! Landed an internship in a sophomore finance program in operations. From what I understand, its sort of the back office work for different verticals at a large global bank. Group placement has not finished, but likely going to end up in leasing and loan finance / business admin. Office is in NYC for some events but interns mostly work at the second office a little but outside the city.

As a young college female who has never been exposed to the corporate world, what do I even wear? What brands do interns / young analysts shop at for work clothes? Trying to understand if dresses are appropriate, if so what length? Plain white sneakers or loafers? Is a blazer or jacket necessary everyday? 

Help. I am lost, and the absolute last thing I want is to be unprepared and look it too.
