Private Equity Office wear

Hi, wondering what shirts & pants brands people recommend for office attire for someone working at a PE firm? Ideally, I'm hoping to buy items that I can easily wash and air dry, rather than need to dry clean

Also, do people wear suit jackets or vests often in private equity? If so, any recommendations for either of those? I understand that you can't wash suit jackets, but how do people usually take care of them? Understand that you could have multiple wears for suit jackets. 

Sorry if these seem like stupid questions, I come from a blue collar background and this is my first professional full-time job.
