One piece of advice is to hold out until you actually start, before you get anything too expensive or adventurous. Grab some standard classic items for sure but wait until you are there and can see what people wear.
On that note, if people are dressing like bags of crap ignore them and feel free to dress over and above them. The Accountant/Lawyer thing holds true where I work. It is "biglaw" but I work in the number crunching division, and the legal types generally dress much smarter.
There is a more casual trend these days, I bought a lot of items prior to starting, I went from the Army to corporate so I had nothing. For example you may wear a tie twice a week for a few hours, so only grab a few that will easily go with any shirt and even keep tham at work!
Make sure your shirts fit, get them pressed and ensure they look good with the top button undone/no tie on.
Enjoy!
