Comments on: What to Wear on an Airplane http://www.chic-critique.com/2009/12/what-to-wear-on-an-airplane.html Beauty and Fashion for the Modern Woman Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:45:00 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Julie http://www.chic-critique.com/2009/12/what-to-wear-on-an-airplane.html/comment-page-1#comment-4523 Julie Sun, 03 Jan 2010 05:23:01 +0000 http://www.chic-critique.com/?p=3515#comment-4523 As someone who traveled a bit to Europe for summers a few years ago...(on a part-time nanny salary to work as a volunteer at summer camps in Romania, so by no means as a person with $$)...I found that I was one of the few who traveled dressed up in economy (at least amongst those not traveling for work). I found that a nice pair of black slacks with some stretch and a smooth finish (so as not to invite lint) worn with a 3/4 sleeve white button blouse and a vest in classic and classy colors such as grey and burgundy helped me look polished and put together. I always carried along my black lightweight coat that was somewhat like a trench, but with different lines. I also wore a pair of nicely polished black boots. I never felt like my clothes weren't comfortable and though I never got upgraded I do think that the combination of being nicely dressed as well as polite served me well in how I was treated by airline and airport personnel when I got stranded in Amsterdam on 9/11!!

Someone I can relate to! This is exactly how I see travel-attire! But not too many people around me agree. We will be leaving for a week long cruise next month, so I'm thinking along these lines already. Thanks! Finally! Someone I can relate to! This is exactly how I see travel-attire!

Great post. The likelihood of a plane crash would be like winning the lottery. Pretty sure it won't happen so I would dress for comfort/fashion before I would safety. But that's just me...

Not overdressed but comfortable and stylish. I think you can be safe and stylish at the same time. I wear shoes I can take off and on easily through security, never wear belts or anything that will set those monitors off like heavy silver jewelry . I have one bracelet that sets it off every time. I seriously never even think about a plane not making it to my destination. I know it's a reality but I just can't go there. I do like to dress nice for plane trips.

If, God forbid, there is a fire your fashionable lyrcra will melt into your skin and you will be in for some really painful weeks of treatment (if you survive). Airplane safety people say that you should wear natural fabrics, shoes that you can run in (with leather soles, and no metal jewelry (as it will sear your skin with transferred heat). Save the fashion for after the landing. Are you aware that synthetic fabric melts?
