Who wants to sit next to someone who is practically not even wearing a shirt?

I just re-watched “This is Spinal Tap” over the weekend. This thread will always remind me of it.

I dress for comfort when flying irrespective of class of travel. Seems silly to do otherwise.

If some really hairy guy wears a sleeveless wife-beater shirt, it grosses me out, and the thought of sitting next to such a person makes me want to vomit. So I do care what other people wear. If an airline were to have a "resort casual" dress code, I would be more likely to fly it. As for the bad smell, I do wish the airlines would just have a list of rules like they do for exit rows that remind people to take a shower, use extra-strong, unscented antiperspirant, and refrain from using cologne or perfume. |
Doesn't functionality come into play? I saw this Web site and was thinking to give some of their allegedly pick-pocket proof shorts a try.

I dress to protect myself to the maximum extent possible from TSA gropers. Long slacks, shoes with socks, a fitted top. I care less about how other pax perceive me than I do about keeping those nasty blue gloves off my skin.

A couple of weeks ago my other half took her cousin and his wife (in their early 20s) to JFK for a short domestic flight leaving at 6am. She was wearing 5" heels and he was dressed to the nines. Much to our amusement we later learned from another family member that they like to dress up because other passengers might think they are someone important or a celebrity. When we learned this we struggled to keep a straight face :D
You'll find me in a polo shirt or maybe button up shirt if I've come from the office wearing either jeans or shorts depending on the temperature. On longer flights I'll change into t-shirt and PJ bottoms once onboard, unless the airline provides them. |

Your cousins' belief is humorous to me because if one pays attention to how the rich and famous actually dress in public most of the time, it's very different. They dress to the nines when they want to cause a stir. More often they want not to be stopped left, right, and center by admirers, and will dress down. But because they're wealthy, powerful, and/or fashion conscious it's not in their nature to go completely Joe-schmoe. Mastering the art of dressing half casual is how you get strangers at the club, casino, hotel, airport, etc. treating you like you might be someone important.

I've never really paid any attention to what other people planes or see why I should care. I may have a blazer on, but that is purely because I like having lots of pockets.

What is somewhat amusing is the cousin's wife works for a well renowned stylist here in NYC! They have quite a few A list clients so you think she'd know better if that was her goal. |
wife and i were returning from abul symbol(sp). there were about 200 people lined up to get through the airport scanner. a pretty young thing in front of us set the machine off . she go back and take off shirt. then jewelry one at a time. then this and that. she got down to panties and bra, and still set the machine off. wife wanted to go next to join the fun. she was really upset when our guards walked wife outside the line and put us on the plane.

One can never have too many pockets while traveling |
