American who has been out of HS for a year now. I feel like unless you're a girl who seriously cares about her image/aesthetic and/or had a special event that day, most girls didn't dress like that at my HS. Not saying never at all, just not very often.
Also would've probably got dress coded in those anyway, especially the "spaghetti straps" dresses (distinctly remember a faculty member telling a student body kid that their dress straps were too small and to cover up before a ceremony ๐), the skirts are toeing the line.
Lots of us were in pajamas, sweatpants, Crocs & slides, hoodies, shorts, and some brought little plushies or small blankets. I mean seriously my old HS and current college have hordes of people who look ready to drop the moment they hit a chair.
I'm pretty average, I didn't wanna look too lazy so I never wore pajamas unless it was a spirit day. But I was usually in sweatpants on the nice days, and jeans in the cold seasons (although some freaks still wore shorts and Crocs in 40 degree weather). Hoodies all the time, unless it was literally boiling hot. Did my best to not wear shorts sometimes because of body hair fear, but stopped giving a fuck by college.
Some people definitely dressed up, but only those who were doing an aesthetic/style of some sort (neon, goth, punk, clean girl, etc). The rest of us were lazy bums lol.
