Based on the most helpful WSO content, the trend in office dress codes has shifted significantly over the years. While some firms have relaxed their dress codes, there are still places where formal attire, including suits and ties, is expected. Here are some insights:
For more specific and up-to-date information, it would be best to check recent discussions or directly inquire within the firms. The general trend, however, is towards more casual dress codes, even in traditionally formal environments.

CD&R went from suit & ties Mon-Fri pre Covid to shirt / no tie / boxershorts during Covid to shirt (some people work-suitable pullover with 'collar') / no tie / suit pants since. No ties in mgmt meetings, the only time I regularly see ties being worn is when meeting LPs / investor events.

How is sentiment?
As someone on the LP side I always find it weird when managers wear a suit and tie for a small group LP meeting (I semi get for annual meetings and what not). I couldn't care less what you're wearing.
We had definitely gone to casual Fridays pre-Covid and the tie rule was….loosely enforced
Not in London..
Damn so only Brookfield is left for the suit + tie
MDP
They have dropped the ties recently, but still suit 5x / week
KPS, One Rock, Rhône, and the groups you mentioned. Probably another group or two I’m forgetting. Sentinel was, but dropped it post-COVID.
