Don't believe a word Ole says. I have seen him at many of his 50 IETF
meetings and most of the time his T-Shirt has been recently washed.
Truly, for the meetings and opening Sunday night "feed," wear whatever you
feel comfortable in. As noted by others, T-Shirts, shorts and sandals are
common, but at list one distinguished attendee has never been seen in less
than a 3-piece suit (really).
HOWEVER, consider that the meetings will be in Vienna and although it is
summer, Vienna is still a little on the conservative side (no political
comment intended). So, if you plan on going around town, I'd suggest a
sport-shirt (short sleeved would be fine) and long pants. Depending on
where you want to eat dinner, you might need a jacket - but of course, your
choice of restaurants is strictly up to you.

OK, I'm kidding!
This will be my 50th IETF, and I can count on one hand the number of
people times the number of events where I have actually seen a suit.
"Casual and comfortable" is a phrase that describes us well. We favor the
practical over the formal. Don't be surprised to see people sitting on
the floor or hanging out the side of a building if such a location
improves 802.11 reception.
Welcome to the club!
