Sorry, couldn’t help it.
Seriously, though: wear whatever you would typically wear to a Sunday Mass. As others have already said, if you’re coming from work or school or some other place and don’t have a chance to change, then just wear what you’re already wearing.
There are really no rules on what Catholic laity wear to Mass. Just dress respectably.
Some churches, especially those popular with tourists, don’t allow short pants or skirts or other clothing that might be too revealing. Obviously, thing like t-shirts with inappropriate words or graphics are never appropriate for God’s House.
Some people like to (occasionally) wear clothing that matches the liturgical colors. Please note that there is no rule whatsoever about doing this–it’s purely a fashion choice. The liturgical color for that day is white (gold and silver being optional substitutes), and since it’s a Marian feast, blue is typically used (though only as a secondary color, such as a white chasuble with blue symbols). That’s just for your information. Don’t feel obligated in any way to do this. I only mention by way of conversation that some people like to do this
