The SD we had (Feb. 1st in rouge 'business') wore grey pants and a severely wrinkled white shirt. No jacket, no tie just a name bar. The FA had a plain grey 'clingy' dress with a red scarf. Hardly uniforms but at least the dorky hats are gone. Leisure airline or not the staff could still look professional. That being said I must say the two we had were professional in their delivery of service.

The in-charge flight attendant was wearing a new uniform yesterday on YOW-YYZ (sorry - no photo). He looked sharp - dark grey suit, asymmetric with a 1 cm wide stripe of red on one lapel only. I stopped to ask him, and he said they were testing out new designs. He added emphatically that this was not necessarily the final design - simply one look that they were trying out.
I thought it looked good - very professional, yet eye-catching with the flash of red.

The women's jackets look awful. They seem designed to give giant 80s shoulderpad effect and no neck to the majority of female employees -- i.e. anyone who isn't 6 feet tall and model-thin. The men's uniforms look pretty sharp, mind you.

+1, they don't look comfortable for the women FAs. I hope it's a better fabric than currently.

Most men have no idea what we women go through. At least this uniform seems to have a pant option as well as sensibly flat shoes for women. The days when female flight attendants could only wear short skirts and high heels -- because their status as eye candy was more important than their health or safety -- are thankfully long gone. (Except, that they're really, really not.)

I thought those were models until I recognized John.
The concierge uniform doesn't seem to be much different, but the tie looks less silvery and more black (though it's not the greatest photo).
