College. I chip in with high school in a pinch.
How would you dress for the Rose Bowl?

My employer has one dress code: dress similar or comparable to the people you cover.
So wear jerseys and cleats? Bold.
Or cover a swim meet. That dress code will get defined real fast.
(As a side note, I dress up for travel/flights and checking into hotels. I found, even as a 19-year-old, I always got better service.)
While I understand the impulse to blend in, or to avoid overheating, the trouble with that khaki/polo default setting is you wind up dressed like an intern handing out stat sheets, or one of the clubhouse guys. Worse still, in your cargo shorts and T-shirt you look like you've come to mow the lawn or play in the Chuck E Cheese ball pit.
And that's the way you'll be treated.
Find a seersucker or linen suit online, brand new, for less than $100.
