"Sunday best" means the clothes that are usually worn for Sunday services (church) or the person's best clothes.

The students wore their best for the occasion of eating lunch at the restaurant.

Explanation:

"Greensboro sit-in" was an act of non-violent protest against the segregation in Greensboro restaurant. The protest was started by the students of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. The University is situated in Greensboro. The four students who started this protest were Ezell Blair, Jr., Joseph McNeil, David Richmond, and Franklin McCain. On February 1, 1960 these students dressed their "Sunday Best".
