[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't judge others cause what they wear is none of my business, but the last time I flew I stepped it up and realized I felt better because I was presenting a better more pulled together me to the world, so I will probably continue doing that moving forward.

Even on a 15 hour flight to Asia?[/quote]

NP. I don’t think you get that there is clothing that isn’t sweatpants and a hoodie that is still comfortable. I have stretchy trouser pants that are honestly as soft, stretchy and comfortable as yoga pants. And I have soft sweaters, long-sleeved shirts and jackets that are as comfortable as a hoodie. Why are you and OP acting like one must choose between sweatpants and a hoodie or a full-glam restricting outfit?[/quote]

But what is really the point? You are packed in like sardines, it's mostly dark because the flight attendants are militant about putting down shades so people can watch movies or sleep, and no one is like "oh my, stretchy trouser pants and soft sweaters, an upgrade for YOU, my dear!" So why do you feel superior to someone wearing a tracksuit?[/quote]

Can you please point to the part where I said I felt superior? I was making the point (that apparently you can’t argue against) that there are numerous items of clothing that are neither sweatpants or hoodies but are still just as comfortable. You’re acting like people either wear what you wear, or they won’t be comfortable. That’s just…not true.

I choose to wear soft trousers and a soft sweater or long-sleeved shirt and a pashmina, because that makes *me* feel ready for anything—if there’s a delay, I’ll be comfortable; if I run into an important colleague, a friend, or an ex (all scenarios have happened to me in the airport), I’ll be presentable; and to be honest, maybe it’s one of the reasons I’ve occasionally gotten an upgrade (which I’ve never asked for but would certainly never turn down). You do you, you wear what you want, but you don’t get to say I’m not comfortable or are somehow ridiculous for simply…making a choice that is different from yours. [/quote]
