Clothes You Should Avoid Wearing On An Airplane At All Costs
By Tanvi Akhauri
VACATIONS
Skinny Jeans
Sitting on a long flight increases your risk of blood clots, so ditch the skinny jeans for a relaxed pair that allows for healthy blood circulation and easy movement.
Skin-Baring Tops
In-flight temperatures are kept low, so tops that expose a lot of skin may not be your best bet on a flight. Instead, layer a tank top with a jacket or thin shawl.
Open-Toe Shoes
Don't wear any kind of open-toe footwear for air travel, as airports are a hotspot of germs. Also, open-toe slippers can be an impediment in emergency evacuations.
Leggings
Most leggings are made from synthetic materials that are "more likely to burn and stick to you if there is a fire," says Christine Negroni. Instead, wear cotton items.
Shorts
Shorts aren't the best airport attire because they expose you to germs. "If you have pants, you're going to have less germs," Flight attendant @tommycimato stated on TikTok.
