I think the winning strategy is to dress exactly 1 level better than others. Too many levels signal that you are socially clueless. But exactly 1 level better signals that you are socially savvy.
Or some other kind of counter-counter-signal, for example dress formally but behave informally, etc. To show that you are dressed formally because it is your choice, not because you are scared.
