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
