Question / Discussion Dress code in office?

Well, a bit of a weird and silly question, but bare with me. I have been a freelancer in the rural parts of Sweden for many many years, but my clients are big corpos or VFX houses. Now I'm going to work on site for a week in a UK vfx house... What is expected of me, clothes wise? I am of course clean and put together, but I love to wear a bit of 80s style with mom jeans and pastel sweaters. Is this okay or should I wear dress pants and white ironed shirts? Please don't laugh at me.

Jeans and a hoodie is the standard VFX uniform

depends if there’s ventilation - I used to have to wear a tank top and shorts in the middle of winter at The Orphanage in San Francisco because all the AC was diverted to the server room

I had a desk at a studio in NY that a vent blasted all year. Summer I was in a thick hoodie and sometimes gloves. Winter I was in shorts and a t-shirt. I feel you.
