Growing up, we had 2 seudot. My mom taught in a Jewish school so she was off erev YK. Divorced so my father wasn’t around anyway.
Then when I started college I wasn’t home all day so I stopped the 2 Seuda minhag and have not done it ever since. I’ve always been at work and DH as well, since we got married.
Never heard of wearing Shabbat clothes on erev YK.
I have everyone shower before Seuda hamafseket but we wear whatever to eat and then change before candle lighting.
I don’t go to the Mikvah on erev YK. Never saw my mother do this and I dont find it a spiritual experience so I have no interest in taking on the minhag.

I'd never go to the mikva. It's man to me.
I grew up with 2. My husband is 1.
I wear whatever, people go comfy that day... but some do white

Many people I know wear white begadim on YK, similar to wearing a veisse tichel. As a symbol f purity and innocence and being clean from cheit. Most people suffice with a white top/shirt/sweater. Some of the older ladies I've seen also wear a white skirt.

Even my non orthodox relatives wear all white on Yom Kippur including a white yarmulke . You don't see this as much in Chasidish circles (since they wear a white tichel and apron) but I've seen it at yeshivish shuls, MO shuls etc where the women wear all white from head to toe, white skirt, blouse, sweater (some wear white snoods as well instead of a sheitel. I saw this in Flatbush in a shul I davened in when I was growing up.)

The world is a large large thing lol.

I see most women not in white. I don't see white tichels, or aprons (!) among the chassidim I know.

I wear shmattas in morning for cooking and I run to Mikvah. My husband wants us all dressed shabbosdig for the meals but it doesn’t usually happen. He is dressed fancy but I’m usually not able to yet as too busy.

im chassidish and I think my mother always went to the mikvah but since I was never taught to go and noone thought its important enough to pass down that minhag to me I simply never knew about it and my dh wasnt told either. We now know about it and im not going to suddenly change that.

We only have one meal and I wore shabbos clothing because we had it after I took a shower. I don't go to the mikvah. My dh and over bar mitzvah children go.
