I wear leisure wear geberally though fur shorter flights I sometimes where “real” clothes because it makes me feel more together when I land.
Same here as long as it doesn't smell.

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.
Agreed. OP doesn't know what's out there.

The only thing I care about is that peoples clothes don’t smell and that they are covered where they should be covered. I flew to Mexico sitting next to a woman in her twenties wearing a dress that barely covered her crotch. When she had to squeeze by us to go to the bathroom of course the dress lifted another inch or so and my face was basically a quarter inch from her underwear. Very gross. Have consideration for the face that you are packed in like lemmings with other humans. And don’t wear perfume.

I don't but I don't like or own sweat pants and I don't like sweaters so don't own many. I wear leggings and a tshirt with a jean jacket I can take off or leave on if I am cold.

I don’t get the hostility. Again, idgaf what people wear on airplanes, but I’m aware of a contingent of people who do.
Here's one from August. I gave hime the mental GTFOH
"Still, while the experience of travel may seem demeaning — hourslong lines for check-in, security and baggage at facilities like Delta’s Terminal 4 at Kennedy International Airport, a bare-bones cavern where the sole place to sit is on the floor — is that a good reason to meet insult with insult and dress accordingly?"

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.

Op, you care more than you think if you have to start a thread about it.

Dressing up? What are you talking about? Nobody dresses up for this anymore. People wear comfortable clothes, whatever that personally means to them. Nobody cares what you’re wearing as long as it’s clean and you don’t take your shoes off on the flight.

Just wear clothing and shoes. Wear clean clothing. Make sure your bum, boobs (even moobs), and feet are covered.
