Great advice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/airport-outfits-article#post-1932418 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 16:52:42 +0000 LaPed 1932418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen -- I'm another who often travels with nothing but gear. If you're going backpacking, what the heck are you going to do with that extra travel outfit once you arrive at your destination? Mail it ahead to yourself? Certainly not carry it hundreds of miles! ;)</p> <p>I will say, I think airline passengers are usually dressed a bit better than bus/train passengers, at least in the US. I'm always amazed when I take Greyhound or Amtrak at how many people just wear full-on PJs. I know bus trips are slow, but still.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/airport-outfits-article#post-1932416 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 16:48:23 +0000 kkards 1932416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>actually...i think this article is more informative </p> <p><a href="https://www.whowhatwear.com/what-not-to-wear-on-plane" rel="nofollow">https://www.whowhatwear.com/wh.....r-on-plane</a></p> <p>as this article notes...its never a good idea to wear flip flops or open toe shoes, and if possible wear long pants and long sleeves, because if you have to use the emergency slide they will protect you better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/airport-outfits-article#post-1932371 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 14:13:25 +0000 JAileen 1932371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been in 1st class a couple times. The first time, we were newlyweds (a long time ago) and I was the only woman without a fur coat. The flight attendant took my 60/40 coat and hung it up in a closet. </p> <p>On our recent trip to Alaska, I took nothing but gear. Nothing. Even in the Seattle and Portland airports, I felt at home in my gear. At least I wasn’t wearing my Muck boots or ear flap hat, which I saw a man wearing on the Barrow to Anchorage flight. </p> <p>This is old but amusing:</p> <p><a href="https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/airplane-passengers-as-explained-by-their-pants" rel="nofollow">https://www.mcsweeneys.net/art.....heir-pants</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/airport-outfits-article#post-1932288 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 08:44:08 +0000 Jaime 1932288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having just got off a long flight, with a very long stopover, the difference between CDG and JFK is quite striking. Interesting topic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/airport-outfits-article#post-1932286 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 08:33:23 +0000 Sisi 1932286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, I like the word&nbsp;cringe-worthy ! Now that I think, I do not remember ever seeing anything cringe-worthy at airports,&nbsp;I always notice&nbsp;a huge amount of jeans and sneakers. If I have to fly I&nbsp;dress in a comfortable way but more or less as usual: pullover, pants, topper,&nbsp;comfortable shoes that slip-on/slip off easily such as ballet flats and&nbsp;slip-ons,&nbsp;and if they are old and well&nbsp;tried,&nbsp;the better. I learnt this lesson&nbsp;many years ago after a 12-hours&nbsp;flight. I was wearing&nbsp;a pair of booties&nbsp;&nbsp;that on the arrival had become very tight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/airport-outfits-article#post-1932230 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 01:00:05 +0000 bj1111 1932230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I prefer delta’s upgrade system which is transparent. There was a previous class action suit alleging that discretionary upgrades discriminated against women and poc which was settled.</p> <p>If I earned the upgrade, I want it whether I’m wearing cut offs and flip flops or a suit. Of course I’m more likely to wear one and not the other. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/airport-outfits-article#post-1932207 Wed, 27 Jun 2018 23:42:36 +0000 cindysmith 1932207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've worn Jean's and combat boots on a plane before. I was hoping it would make people NOT talk to me. I think it worked. I don't fly often, but when I do I generally try to look normal (instead of my usual dystopian self LOL) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/airport-outfits-article#post-1932184 Wed, 27 Jun 2018 21:36:26 +0000 Carla 1932184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Airport as runway!

Thanks to UmmLila for the link. (Unfortunately, the link provided by you, citygirldc, didn't quite work for me. It just took me to a place where I need to register in order to read articles, and I don't feel a need to do that.)</p> <p>I agree that ideal airport outfits are chic, polished, decent, comfortable and practical. However, I don't agree with such suggestions as distressed denim, sweatshirt + leggings, and tracksuits. And I have seen pj-like suits which look much more elegant and polished than some of the suggested outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/airport-outfits-article#post-1932158 Wed, 27 Jun 2018 19:07:03 +0000 Laura1975 1932158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never travel in flip flops.

I always almost try to dress well and&nbsp; also be comfortable when traveling. I remember one experience on Virgin Airlines where our seats were overbooked, and the flight attendant actually mentioned that the couple ahead of were not&nbsp; properly dressed for first class and we looked nice, so she bumped us up.&nbsp; Wow. First impressions are everything.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
