How do you dress for air travel?

Haha its interesting to see the different opinions! At work its amazing to see the different types of attire worn by all the passengers, it really does go from one extreme to the other!

Personally well it all depends on why I'm flying, how long the flight is and the type of ticket I'm using. Obviously if I'm working then I'll be in uniform, if not then for short flights I would generally wear a pair of jeans and a shirt. For a longer flight I would make sure I had loose clothes on so as to be comfortable and be able to sleep.

If I'm flying on a staff ticket then there are rules as to what we can wear, and if you want to be upgraded then you need to look smart enough!

Whilst I agree everyone needs to be comfortable whilst flying, with the advent of low cost airlines the types of people who fly really has totally changed!
 
who the hell cares what people wear when travelling, except OP of course.

its a journey somewhere, not a fashion parade. If im going on holiday, il usually wear combats or jeans, maybe even shorts if its the summer. t-shirt, jacket.

there's no need to dress up, your going to be sweating your bag off in a cramped space with strangers, id rather be comfortable. The only time ive dressed any different on a flight is when coming back one time, i had to go straight to a dinner party thing, so got changed on the plane into shirt/tie , trousers and shoes.

I tend to find planes cold as well. Don't remember overheating before but I do use the blankets on long haul.

As to planes being cold - they're always too cold for me. I don't like using the blankets as they get all static and cling to you.. But I have no choice when it's cold :(

It's possible it's just me then or maybe I fidget too much and warm up that way. I'm also normally at a comfortable temperature in the office at the point where everyone else is complaining that it's too cold so perhaps the plane is at the right temperature and I'm wrong.

You have shirts with pockets? I thought they disappeared years ago! Seriously, the only shirt I've seen in a while with a pocket is my "safari"/walking shirt!

Most of my shirts for work have a single pocket over the left breast, I'd just presumed that it depended on the manufacturer and what type of shirt you had. It could well be that me having no sense of style contributes to this though.

Where would one even buy Chinos in this day and age?

Not everyone will get the significance....

I think this kind of shirt historically has an engineering blue collar bacground. The pocket was to keep your pencils in for when a quick modification to a deisgn was required :)

Pocketless shirts were worn by spivs in banks and civil servants.

as if jeans a t-shirt are the most restrictive uncomfortable clothes in the world.

Yeah except nobody implied that jeans were uncomfortable. They're not, they're perfectly comfortable. They're just not as comfortable as tracksuit trousers.

Not sure how you made the leap from a perefence for tracksuit trousers on aircraft, to accusing everyone in tracksuits of implying that jeans were 'the most restrictive uncomfortable clothes in the world'.
 
Jeans, t-shirt, comfy trainers and a jumper/hoddie.

Basically what I would wear on a long car or train journey really, no need to dress up and no need to go for anything specific.

A really nice bit of France (other than Limoges its self) but WORLDS MOST BORING AIRPORT! Just an air-conditioned barn with a bar...
 
I wouldn't advise a kilt, when they reach up it to pat you down they are not impressed one bit.

The man with the gun at Bordeaux-Merignac was not too happy with ones lack of under garments.

I dont like being in the "holding pen" for an hour before you board though.
That takes the ****.
But there is always time for a pre-flight nap :D

2 hours sitting down and jeans are too uncomfortable? That's implication in my book.

I believe jeans are just as comfortable when you are not moving, loose fitting synthetics are only necessary for sweating and jumping about.

If you assume (even though I mentioned short haul) flights of over 8 hours, I'd accept that most people think sports wear is more comfortable - but I'd still think you were all wrong even though I may be in the minority.

Back in 1979 me and my Dad flew over to Limoge with two acoustic guitars and ended up touring around Limoge, Lyon & Clermont Ferrand for 6 months doing ad hoc gigs for food & shelter. I even went frog fishing in Limoge.
Great times.
 
Well it will all come down to the individual and indeed pair of jeans, personally I try to avoid jeans even for car journeys if they are going to be a couple of hours. I find after a while they get all constrictive around the lunchbox and I have to manually reposition them (the trousers, that is...). In a car you can't even unbuckle the seat belt and move around like you can in an aircraft so it is even worse in some ways.

I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
