Me, too. I throw a long sweater over it and a colorful scarf, since my clothes are almost always black and the scarf make the outfit look a little bit nicer.

I think/hope that post was mostly tongue-in-cheek somehow.

Where I live, college guys seem to be wearing flip flops, ratty shorts, and too-small t-shirts or polos these days. College girls seem to be wearing way-too-large t-shirts/small t-shirt-shaped blankets and super-short shorts. At least I hope they're wearing shorts...you can't tell with the giant shirt hanging down to their knees...

ETA: To answer the actual thread topic - it's comfort all the way for me. If it's a flight where I need to go straight to work, I'll pack business clothes in a packing folder and change just before landing or in the destination airport. Otherwise, I board with jeans and a breathable t-shirt, polo, or button-down, then change into PJ pants and a t-shirt once we level of and before cabin service starts. I have a travel button-down that I like because it has a zippered breast pocket where I can keep my wallet and passport, then fold up the shirt and stuff it under my pillow while I sleep.

Airline pajamas is what I wear. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I have quite a lot.

Same. I have a little collection. My favorite is CX, super comfy.

To EU--I usually change my shirt to a long-sleeve quick-dry shirt, saving my undershirt and shirt for the next morning in EU. I then can wash/dry the travel shirt for the return.

For TPAC, I do the same, but also change from jeans or dress slacks to hospital scrubs.

Shirt and scrubs pack very tight.

I usually wear a black tie tuxedo with black wing tip shoes. I try to look as good as possible without caring about comfort.

A real gentleman would put on proper white-tie evening dress for an event as special as a D1 flight. We're not savages.

Always a suit on the plane. I change into gym shorts and a t-shirt to sleep (flights over 6 hours) then back into a suit prior to landing as I usually go straight to work.

Not really. In Holland, wearing comando at night means you're looking to get laid.

Same in the States, one less piece of clothing to take off.

I just don't get it?!?

Very well tailored suits made of fine fabrics can be very comfortable. But then again, I'd rather be in pjs.
