Why do people still expect you to dress nicely while flying?

Flying to Asia tomorrow and the only thing saving my sanity for this 24 hour transit is the fact that I’ll be wearing baggy sweatpants and a hoodie. Anyone who complains about other peoples’ attire while flying can piss right off. You have no idea how long your fellow passengers have been in transit for. I’d lose my mind if I’d dress up in restrictive clothing for a 14+ hour flight for just the first leg of a trip. Take a cliff dive, attire whiners.

Who the hell are you talking to? Have people assaulted you about your outfit or are you projecting?

NP. Probably my MIL. "Oh! Have you seen what people wear on an airplane these days! It use to be you wore a tie, wore a skirt. Dressed up like you were going out. Now it's all pajama bottoms and t-shirts. Everyone! Literally everyone! Even First Class!""

Are you fighting with a 20th century ghost, OP?

Because when I take flights to Asia and Europe, most people are in loungewear.

Personally think there’s a good amount of in-between between baggy sweatpants/hoody and restrictive clothing. You do you but yeah I’m judging the heck out of ya.

I wore athleisure in business class on my last flight to Europe and I’ll do it again next time. It’s nappy time in my lay flat, why the heck would I wear a dress? And needless to say my kids are tucked in in PJs.

I don’t care what other people wear while flying.

I wear leisure wear geberally though fur shorter flights I sometimes where “real” clothes because it makes me feel more together when I land.

If flying makes you lose your sanity maybe don’t do it?

I actually find it strange when people dress up on flights. But to each their own!

I fly to Asia and Europe a lot for work. I bring pajamas in my carry-on, and change after we're airborne, then change back before landing. I look presentable in the airport, but am comfy in the seat.

You change in the plane bathroom? That’s so so gross. I try to touch as little as possible.

I can think of 20 comfortable, stretchy outfits in my closet that are not sweatpants and a hoodie. The most comfortable pair of pants I own are a pair of extremely stretch ponte knit *trousers* that look and feel amazing. Some of us know how to be simultaneously comfortable and polished.

I don’t care at all what other people wear on a flight—never have, never will. But I will always dress nicely (and comfortably), and if that makes you feel insecure, that’s on you, not me.
