Beep Beep. The Fashion Police is Here.

What NOT to wear on a plane:


Even if you're just an occasional air traveler, you probably know better than to wear any of these on board:


High Heels:
High heels are uncomfortable on longer flights and unusable during emergency situations, which hopefully are not needed. I usually take off my shoes and snuggle in my warm blanket, provded by the airline on long flights.


Too Much Odor:
Wear antiperspirant, but not a bottle of your Britney Spears perfume, or Usher cologne. If enough of your cabin-mates complain, they may compel you to move -- possible off the plane. Heavy perfumes can make your neighbors sick. We'll leave it at that.


Light Colored or Uncomfortable Clothing.
Dark Clothes are travel-friendly. I always follow the just-in-case rule. Ask yourself, what if? Stains are less likely to be noticed on darker clothing than lighter clothing. What if you are traveling to Spain and you baggage ends up in China? You may need to wear your stained clothes for a couple of more days.
Tight-fitting clothes are a big no. They can be uncomfortable, risky, and even hazardous to you health (ever heard of Deep Vein Thrombosis, also known as Economy Class Syndrome?) The seats are already uncomfortable on airplants, why make the situation worse? Also avoid synthetic fabrics. A natural fiber like cotton is a better choice.
As for shorts, once the cabindoor is closed and the air conditioning is cranked all the way up, you'll be sorry.


I know what you're thinking. What am I, the fashion police? And besides, what is left to wear now that I've ruled out most of your wardrobe? Keep reading!


What TO wear on a plane:


Think comfortable and elegant. You want something relaxed and natural that you could spend a few hours or days in without losing the circulation to your limbs. At the same time, you want to look as if you belong in the first class. Sometimes, crewmembers do judge their passengers by the way they dress. As for me, my traveling is always vacation oriented. I stick with jeans, a t-shirt, and a sweatshirt, along with a cute pair of flip flops.
