I don't understand the pink sleeve. Nothing that is going to stand the test of time.

I really like the new uniform, especially the trilby and trench coat. Strong colour contrast, ageless .
Shame that the Loubi's were only for the show.

I think it's more relevant than the current uniform. They've actually included their branding (Red triangle) instead of something 'Just Australian.'

They look fine to me. So long as they can be worn all day, don't stink, don't crush, repel spills/stains, are comfortable and not too hot, they'll be great.

The trilby and trench are fantastic (at least on the particularly attractive subset of FAs that they demonstrated them on). Very Carmen Sandiego. Do the men get trilbies too, though?

The actual cabin interior wear, though, I'm not so sure about. Maybe the red/pink doesn't clash as badly in person. And the red stripe on the men's ties isn't great, it attracts attention without actually looking good.

To the "slide into irrelevance" poster: is there any possible uniform design they could have come up with that you wouldn't see as "another slide down the spiral to irrelevance"?

That pink and red thing is truly horrific. So LCC. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Well, without the pink they'd just look like Essendon supporters.

Looks great - I can understand old people disliking it which makes it even better.

The old one was starting to look really tired and dowdy, when you saw the QF FAs standing next to the Emirates FAs they really looked like the poor cousins.

Well the colour will take some getting used to but it looks fresh and vibrant.
Overall though it lots to be well put together collection and very well structured to fit the body.
I would like to see it in person.

What exactly constitutes an LCC uniform?

Why is someone in shorts and polo shirt? It is part of the new uniform?

Agree with this. Even straight people know not to wear pink and red together.
