Shorts on a plane?

[Anonymous]

Capri pants are perfect.

+ Have this experience all the time when flying to somewhere warm. But would rather be comfortable on the cold plane unless it's a very short flight.

I wear these with a tank top and an oversized linen button up shirt. I find that it keeps me warm when needed, but if it’s hot on the plane or walking through the airport I don’t overheat. I don’t really care about germs, but I also don’t wear shoes without socks in the airport because I don’t like standing on Tile with bare feet during security.

Does this really require advice?

Perfection.

Wait- no shorts bc of germs? Like you think your legs will absorb germs? What about the rest of your exposed body?

I can't even imagine how dumb this must look.

Alternatively, pack a blanket and put it over your lap / around your shoulders if you are cold.

This is what we do. I only wear pants in a plane in winter. Such a bizarre post.

I don’t consider myself a germaphobe (although maybe I should) but I admit when a young woman sitting next to me had a midriff baring top on I though to myself that I would not want to sit in a plane seat with a layer of cloth between me and the seat.

Turned out she had another layer in the same knit that she could wear on top so she was set for any temp.

1. Because it’s usually cold on a plane.
2. Because all the sitting surfaces in airports are vinyl or metal, and they are too cold when they are not too hot.

Too hot too cold. B f’in hoo. How do you people function day to day?

We wear pants.

DP. No one cares what people wear on planes. Have you seen how people dress? Tees, sweats, pjs—you name it.

Okay. I agree comfort is king when flying (I like Wool& short sleeve fine woven merino wool swing dresses that hit just below the knees plus tights I can pull off in the bathroom, layered with a cardigan or light athletic jacket I will use the whole trip in the evenings if it’s cool. Linen pants and a yoga top with a sweater or light jacket to layer also work). But, I actually hit the point I care flying home from Costa Rica this winter.. I sat beside a woman on a plane who was wearing a jog bra that didn’t go below her ribs. Full stomach exposed, not hits the top of the pants and maybe your stomach peaks out when you move. And low cut knee length yoga pants. And… that’s it. Comfortable is great. I’m all for it. But I don’t want to stare at your bare stomach all trip while we are crammed together. If shirts and shoes are too much for you to manage on the plane, at a bare minimum, wear a shirt.

But 18 year olds do stuff like this you say? Maybe. They don’t know any better. This lady was about my age (50). And yes she was in decent shape. Still doesn’t mean I want to sit beside someone in their bra. It was weird and awkward, especially since in economy you are squished so close. Just ick.

This is what my kids do. I just manage being hot for a few hours.
