GS Dress Code

I will be joining GS in a few months as a Summer Analyst and was wondering what the dress code is like? I have a $20 Casio watch and a cheap polyester suit that's falling apart - are they actually going to care about these things or is it just WSO memes that are pushing this? I noticed that a lot of the MDs don't dress like models either so I'm wondering if I'm stressing about something that's not going to impact my chances of the return offer.

P.S. should I email my recruiter about arranging accommodation and flights now or should I wait until it's closer to the date? During my offer call I was told I'd be provided with both of these by the firm, and I only signed the contract in the last week so perhaps I should wait until HR gets back to me?
