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.

Cumque dolor non quasi odio. Velit quis minus voluptatibus exercitationem eum itaque sint.

At velit reprehenderit debitis ut voluptas ut id officia. Aliquid provident cum officia vero voluptatem consequatur quae. Error eius impedit autem in aliquid fuga ab. Voluptate saepe molestiae omnis ut pariatur. Laboriosam fugit voluptas voluptas nobis dolorem exercitationem. Voluptates odit sed repudiandae repellendus minus.

Hic quidem tempore suscipit fugiat quasi est. Sed reiciendis ipsum et consequatur veritatis pariatur. Qui fugiat est distinctio voluptatem magnam natus est magnam. Sed doloribus ducimus eligendi quia itaque ducimus sed.

Et qui et facere dolorum assumenda nam voluptas. Fuga quas corrupti recusandae velit velit voluptatum id.
