I like the OZ winter uniforms.

Does BA still have those ugly shirts and blouses? I haven't patronized BA in several years.
For me, a toss up between AA and UA for the worst. |

The smocks are actually made to be worn by pregnant FAs. Maybe that is why it is so unflattering!

I thought the uniforms on KLM staff looked like they were made from cheap and nasty material... poor FAs!

In the 1980's, an Air France steward gave me the wings from his uniform. He said that they did not have plastic wings but he handed me his. I was shocked!
Next time I am travelling on Air France, should I ask for the flight attendant's bra? Will she kick me then have me arrested? :eek: |

What About Air New Zealand?
For my part, I kinda like some of the Bare Essentials uniforms, but let's keep the flight deck crew in something more... modest.

OZ is my airline of choice, but I do agree that the female FA uniform is right out of the 1950's, and enough of the beige - time for an update.

It is too bad that even the skinny girls can't look cute in these uniforms!
|
I've just been looking through the uniforms website and I was thinking to myself, "I wouldn't like to be caught dead in 70% of the current uniforms... too frumpy/boring!"

Like I've recounted before. I once watched a KL and LH crew pass me in a terminal at DFW. Every person looked like they stepped off a fashion runway. Then I passed an AA crew. It looked like a senior citizen bus headed to the bingo parlor after stopping off at the Salvation Army thrift store. I am in and out of the FRA airport a couple of times a month and am stunned at how good some uniforms look. And then I head over to AA.... |
I guess one could observe:
that wearing a uniform was just something that an FA could predict as going with the territory, and not really a terrible surprise nor an imposition.
But I heard it when my (female) FA friend told me how depressing it was for her to pull the same garb on every day she flew. And I also observe that trying to do some of the physically demanding stuff (bending, crouching, pushing/pulling heavy carts in a confined area up a grade) dressed in clothing styled more for a fashion show catwalk doesn't really make sense. Yes, yes, I know, it's all about branding and image, but some do it better than others, apparently.:rolleyes: |

That depends on who you're flying. That EK flight crew was smoking, even with the bad uniforms.

It looked like a senior citizen bus headed to the bingo parlor after stopping off at the Salvation Army thrift store. The one piece smocks are especially unflattering. Each crew member can mix and match their uniform leading to a very disorganized look. Whatever material they use seems to wear quickly leading to a threadbare appearance to an outdated design. EDIT: A site with FA uniforms. |
