The posts reveal many folks who do not (have to) work in a large corporate office setting. I will testify that here, at a large regional bank headquarters in the Mid West, there are rules and they are not lightly transgressed, except on the idiotic 'Casual Friday' and even then, jeans will mark you as someone who has given up on career advancement or has mistaken Friday for Saturday or Sunday.
Dark suits, navy or gray, solid, striped or very subtle glen plaid or herringbone, with solid color shirts, subdued ties are preferred.
Cuff links and pocket hankies identify you as someone who does no real work, i.e. a senior/executive manager.
Sport coats on Fridays, only, unless you are in IT, and then, really, who cares?
Hi
Oddly enough, my son works at a large regional bank headquarters in Kansas. There appear to be SOME rules, but not any I think match yours. Junior wears khaki pants and a polo shirt with the bank name on it. The shirts are in either KU, K-State, or Wichita State colors. No he's NOT a teller. I may mention that he should start dressing a little better, but he's pretty good about trying to fit in correctly. I've walked around the place a few times, and I didn't see anyone in a suit. Oh, I had to add this. The boss's grand-daughter married the IT guy in my son's graduating class. Junior says he'll go nowhere though.
The class of '77 back in Central Illinois contains 3 bank presidents of the local banks (out of a class of say 70). I haven't seen Gary since high school, but the other two wear khaki's and a plaid dress shirt most days. Of course their clientele consists of Millionaire farmers wearing jeans or Bib overalls, a button up shirt and a seed corn hat. The bank Chairman that I know still wears a suit everyday, but he's 80 and still working.
Just my $0.02
Just missed the chance too buy a perfect early 40s three piece suit. Brown with chalk stripes. The trousers were too tight. Now I am in full self pity and want to lose some weight. Seriously. The suit was ****ing perfect!!! I want q full suit and not only bits and pieces.

Yes, I see a lot of this intra-company rule obsession in London. You can almost tell what floor of the building a person works at by what they wear. The acceptable colours and lightness of shade (suits, shoes, shirts, ties) seems to increase as you move up the building.
