My favorite topic; labels.
OK here’s my take:
Borsalino style hat, brim up weekdays, down for Shabbos / special occasions you are yeshivish.
If your boys shave, they are yeshivish (tzitis out are a plus)
If you have a trimmed breard, you are yeshivish.
If you have a full beard, you are SUPER yeshivish
Payos for boys = yeshivish
Payos for totty = might mean a touch of chassidus, unless accompanied by a full beard but borsalino style hat, which would mean SUPER yeshivish.
Defining girls / mommies are harder, but 16 pasenger vans and snoods in public screams super yeshivish (extra points scored if the snood covers the ears)
I could go on, but in the end its really a subjective question
