This is why I always keep my shoes on until after climb-out, and then re-shoe at start of approach. Who wants to run for safety in socks and slippers? :eek:

Does VS offer FC? I thought it was just Upper Class (which is a business class product), Premium Economy and coach.

Me too, although I didn't always do this. In fact, when I first started flying I somehow thought that your were supposed to keep your shoes on until the seat belt sign went off after takeoff, and then I noticed that some others were removing their shoes before we left the gate.

I have these in very dark grey. Best travel investment I have ever made.

And they tailor their products for free. :)

The SN has it's purpose. I wear a usually pink unicorn shirt or a variation of a unicorn shirt every single time I fly - it doesn't matter what cabin I am in.

J.jill has a line of comfy pants (as I call them) called Wearever. They come in different styles (slim leg, wide leg, cropped....) and mostly dark colors. There is also a nice selection of matching tops.

Talbots, llbean and lands end (the starfish line) are also good sources. All have versions that have flat (not gathered) waistbands, dark colors and nice fabrics that travel well.

After watching Downton Abbey all these years I decided to dress like "His Lordship" when I travel.

No. I do not.

Maybe next time I fly I'll wear a full blown tuxedo, to make sure no one on the plane is pained by seeing a member of the proletariat.

At the very least change into your dinner jacket before they serve the meal!

A dinner jacket? Why not come to dinner in your pajamas and save yourself the time? /Dowager Countess

Wife and I wear the same thing no matter what cabin we are in...besides in F we are in pajamas before take-off anyway:D

:p
Wear the same thing = androgynous leotards?
Before F pyjamas get taken off? (sounds exciting! as in Birthday Suits!)

Some airlines require women to remove high heeled shoes before going down the slide. So, I fly in shoes that I could keep on in an evacuation. I do also keep them on for takeoff and landing.

In terms of clothing I want to look nice, but I also need to be comfortable. My career doesn't require suits, so I am usually wearing leggings or tights and a dress or tunic.

I don't exactly know how to define "nice", but it involves wearing clothes that fit well, are in good shape (not faded, pilly, etc.), and have some sort of sense of style.

Breathable non-wrinkle fabrics and layers are a must, since temperatures can vary greatly both on the aircraft and from departure to destination.

I don't wear airplane pajamas because I can't fathom changing into them in the restroom (I maybe a little bit of a germaphobe), so I bring them home to my husband.

For long haul flights I usually do not wear makeup, because flying is so hard on my skin and I want to be able to moisturize in flight. I will bring it with me in my carry on to apply before landing if I need to look immediately presentable.

I don't care what other people wear as long as it does not smell bad, although I don't have any interest in being close proximity to anyone's bare feet. If you wouldn't do it in a restaurant, you shouldn't do it on a plane.

I do understand that I may not receive the highest level of service if I am not dressed to the nines and wearing makeup, but it is a chance I am willing to take.

I don't eat on planes, because they lack the necessary technology to have a proper dinner ;)
