Going to office to sign offer, what to wear?

Well I've received an offer for an analyst position at a PE firm, went through the usual three rounds of interviews, next week I'm meeting with HR and an MD I believe to sign the contract, should I show up in a suit to sign the contract or does that seem too "hotshot-ish"?

pre-excuse me if the answer is obvious ;]

i would think that you could wear whatever the general office attire would be, but maybe someone with a little more experience can offer their opinion as well. congrats on the position. good luck to you.

...you should come in with shades into the office... and have like miami vice theme music playing simultaneously as you enter the HR office....

be some shit if the MD's like....umm actually... we need you to make these photocopies for us for now....thanks!

but na seriously man...you know how much fucking money you'll make in PE?... After a couple of years in PE...why even bother working anymore...might as well chill and live off the interest
