Thoughts on wearing big brands during internship?

Hey,

So I'm starting my M&A internship at BNP CIB in one of the smaller offices in Europe, just wanted to get your thoughts on what to wear as an intern.

Gucci loafers, Salvatore ties, Patagonia fleece etc a bit too much right?

Should i shop from TM Lewin and Charles Tyrwhitt for suits, ties, shirts and shoes etc or invest in the above brands?

I wouldnt want to look like an idiot but also would like to look the part.
