If you are that easily distracted by what other people wear, bring a book or something.

Also, why would it matter if it was first or coach? It would seem to me that clothes matter more in coach, where you're all pressed up against each other - I'd rather avoid bare-skin contact, at least unless it's with an attractive woman of legal age (although I might want to avoid that too, if my wife is around )

Thread Lazarus!

Anyway, here’s my hypothesis.

no real dress code these days in F, though most people who pay for F have enough sense to dress somewhat presentable. I like to go with stone white or off white slacks, a nice looking t-shirt or jacket and nice pair of comfy sneakers. seems to be fine for me. some people wear collared shirts, I don't. As long as you don't go looking like a hippie, most ppl couldn't care less.

why would anyone care what any other passenger thinks of them? i wear whatever i feel like when i travel - be it in international f or on an rj in y. sometimes that means a jacket and tie; sometimes that means a t-shirt and jeans. if someone doesn't like it, that's just too damn bad.

it goes without saying though, that regardless of what i wear, i look better than most

I have no specific "outift" nor a style, it all depends on where I am going, what I do when I land and the length ot flight time.

If on an overnight flight, I usually have Jarmies in my carry on as I am usually bigger than XL's passed out by the airline (usually Emirates). I also find if I am on the suite service, (where you have your own door) I tend to be scruffier than usual as no one can see you anyway!

Last week on a DXB-LHR on the A380 in F I wore Shorts and Flip Flops, as I had a connecting flight to MIA on BA, so felt at home on both flights, although I was the scrufiest on the BA sector.

I never dress for other people nor on what they would possibly think of me on a day to day basis, so why think about it when I fly??

Mr H

The point is that there is no dress code in aeroplanes, however much some of our American friends wish there were. People can and will dress as they please.

Not this American. Hey, if you want to control the dress code on the plane, fly a private jet. Otherwise, you're stuck with the rest of us.

Mr H

No, not all Americans. But whenever people come on who do advocate a dress code, you can be pretty sure where they're coming from and it's not Europe.

This American would like to encourage German businessmen to stop wearing striped pants with plaid sportcoats and orange socks.

Mr H

That's exactly my point. Why do you think you should be able to impose your taste in clothes on other people?

thebat

Well, you shouldn't blind people.

I dress for comfort not for others fashion sense. I have good hygiene so I don't bother them with stink...I am quiet so I don't bother them with noise...and I keep my hands and stuff to myself.

To fashion snobs: Mind your own damn business

I fully support a ban on wearing bright lights, wearing clothes with long pointy objects attached, or carrying sprayers of caustic substances. Other than that, I am not sure how you are supposed to blind someone! :P

I can't believe there is an entire thread on this. I wear whatever I have on already for what I have been doing previous to my flight or what I have planned when I arrive. Long haul international is slightly different but then I just dress in normal, comfortable, casual clothing.
