What You Should Not Even Think About Wearing on an Airplane

It seems that the days of the chic travel ensembles are over. Not that it has to be that way. With a little careful planning, you can exit the plane without looking like you’re wearing pajamas. Even in coach.

First off, there’s security to go through. Metal jewelry, buttons, belts or trims must all be removed. Shoes have to be taken off regardless, so if you have a cute pair with metal ornamentation go ahead and wear them. A closed toe, slip-on shoe with thin socks are ideal, as it’s nice to have something in between that cold, dirty floor in the airport, or the dirty airplane carpet and your precious tootsies. Oh, and don’t try the BluFly.com nudey-cutie routine and just wear Louboutins – spike heels will rip the rubber rafts in an evacuation.  If that’s not enough, you’ll also be arrested.

Second, light colors are out. If the plane hits turbulence during beverage service, you will be wearing somebody’s coffee (perhaps your own). Eating your meal from a greasy paper bag also tends to be hazardous to the health of your finer woven fabrics.

Any extra details on your garment, especially buttons, zippers, or garments that tie or buckle in the back can be excruciatingly uncomfortable, as can any type of belt. Epaulettes and extra buttons can get caught in your luggage strap, and “ping”, they’re gone! (I arrived at my image consulting convention sans two buttons – not a good way to make a first impression).

Finally, hosiery is a bad idea unless you need to wear compression tights. Pantyhose can actually melt in a fire situation – not to mention being very easy to snag on carts and luggage.  Pants are easier anyway, especially when you have to pull luggage around, or if you’re like me, and fall down a lot. Even before cocktail time.

Happy Flying!

We notice neither the blur that attends the eye movement nor the time it takes to get the eyes from one place to the other.
