Inhand, I guess? Pale or dark smart trousers that contrast with the horse's leg colour, tweed jacket, shirt and tie, smart shoes, not boots. If it's local and your very first show, don't panic, try to enjoy it and relax!
 
like CT said ^^

smart trousers are ideal, but if your horse has dark legs then you can probably get away with cream jods as you're under 18. if you're wearing jods wear joddy boots not long boots.

do you have a PC tie? you could wear that and a shirt and a show jacket.

make sure you wear your hat and gloves too. hair in a hair net or put into a bun at the very least.

have fun!
 
It really depends what type of show it is, if it's a local show you don't need to worry too much about having velvet hats or brown gloves for ridden showing, just make sure you look neat and smart. A hacking (tweed) jacket is always a good idea, but if its a local show black or navy I think would do. Hairnets are very important, and help smarten up the overall picture. If your a member of a pony club then wear your pony club tie, and I like to pin my pony club badge&felt and road rider badge to my jacket.
I can only really give ridden showing advice, sorry, that's all I've ever done!
