I'm an air hostess – here's 5 things you should never wear on a plane, including a popular item that could cause burns
A FLIGHT attendant has revealed the five things you should never wear on a plane. So if you're lucky enough to be jetting abroad any time soon, then you've come to the right place and will need to listen up. 5 5 5 Particularly if you're struggling to find an airport outfit for your next trip, or want expert advice on what to wear to feel comfortable when travelling, we've got just the thing for you. Posting on social media, Sille Rydell, an air hostess and UGC content creator from Copenhagen, got candid on appropriate plane attire, leaving many totally stunned. Not only did she warn against crop tops, but there's also a popular item that could cause painful burns too - yes, you heard that correctly. Alongside a clip of Sille walking through a first class cabin, she shared what you should 'not wear on a plane' and acknowledged that she is speaking from experience as she has 'seen it all.' Sille then claimed that while you think your outfit 'might be cute at the gate', it may not be when at 38,000 feet. She revealed what she would 'never fly in' - and shorts and crop tops were first on the list. She wrote: 'Ever felt the wrath of plane AC on bare thighs or on your naked belly? Brutal.' Next, Sille shared why flip flops should be avoided at all costs, as she explained: 'Fine for the beach, not for running to your gate or emergency landings. Plus, I know you will take them off during flight and walk barefoot.' Additionally, she advised travellers to avoid polyester and synthetics when travelling, as she stressed: 'You need breathable fabrics when cabin temperature fluctuates.' Not only this, but she also explained that tights should not be worn when flying, as she observed that they can be flammable. Top tips for travelling with a family including in-flight fun and safety wristbands- As a result, she warned: 'Not what you want in case of fire - fabric might burn into your skin.' Not only this, but Sille also advised against tight, non-stretchy clothes, as she acknowledged: 'Your body bloats in the air. What feels snug on the ground might feel like a corset in the sky.' Subsequently, Sille recommended those stepping foot on an aircraft should choose 'comfort, safety, and layers.' Social media users react The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ sillerydell, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it was posted just 20 hours ago but has quickly racked up 312,900 views, 3,192 likes and 41 comments. Social media users quickly raced to the comments to share their usual flight attire, plus their biggest travel outfit fails. Is there an official dress code for flights? WHILE there are no official airline rules on what you can and can't wear on board, there are some unspoken guidelines, as passengers have been kicked off a flight for their choice of clothing. If you can, avoid dirty or torn clothes, anything with slogans that may be deemed offensive or contain any rude language Some airlines do allow flip-flops, but others may not accept you on board if you're wearing beach attire or something too revealing. It's also important to check whether your destination has specific laws or local customs around clothing, as the airline may expect passengers to adhere to these before boarding. For example, Qatar Airways have a dress code as the mid-point is a conservative Muslim country. If passengers visit Doha as a stopover, they must observe the strict dress codes which include no sleeveless shirts, and pants must be no higher than your knees. It's a good idea to opt for clothes which are comfortable such as jeans and a nice top. Bring layers - flights can get chilly and if you do experience a member of the cabin crew asking you to cover up, you're already prepared. Overall, think smart casual. One person said: 'I always wear shorts on my flights. Shorts and a hoodie for the win.' Another added: 'I wear slouchy harem pants, a T-shirt and a hoodie. I wear trainers and take a scarf.' Meanwhile, someone else admitted: 'I forgot that I would have to remove my hoodie at security and I didn't wear a T-shirt under it and I had to have a full pat down because I couldn't take it off.' Whilst a fourth confessed: 'Worst fail was leggings with a SOLID ribbed waist section. I needed a wee the whole time.'

Flight Attendants Reveal the Most Impractical Travel Outfits They've Seen—and What to Wear Instead, From $13
Flight attendants have a front-row seat to every travel faux pas, especially when it comes to what people wear on planes. So, I asked two seasoned pros to weigh in on the most impractical outfits they've seen—and more importantly, what to wear instead. According to two flight attendants—Karen Young, who has 47 years of experience, and Crista Treat, who takes her airport outfits just as seriously as her vacation looks—far too many travelers still fall short. From sky-high heels and stiff business attire to bulky belts and even barefoot passengers (yes, that happens), these in-flight missteps can lead to unnecessary discomfort—or worse, a hygiene horror story. Their expert advice? Dress smart. With the right pieces, you'll feel cozy, look put together, and breeze through security with ease. Ahead, Karen and Crista share the common outfit mistakes they see on board—and what they recommend wearing instead, from stylish athleisure to foldable tote bags and cozy compression socks. Prices start at just $13. Cabin temps are notoriously unpredictable, and if you're seated by the window, prepare for a deep chill. Flight attendants unanimously agree: the biggest travel mistake they see isn't what people wear, but what they don't . "It's always cold on airplanes, particularly next to the window," Karen shared. "Layering is super important." Crista echoed that sentiment, adding that a layered outfit isn't just functional—it can actually elevate your entire look. 'Dress in layers is my biggest tip,' she says. 'A sweater dropped over your shoulders elevates any look and also gives you the ability to warm up as well.' She advises you to remember: 'You can control your temperature versus relying on the airplane for temperature.' Sure, if you're heading straight into a business meeting from the gate, that pencil skirt or blazer might make sense. But for the rest of us? 'Impractical outfits to me, are the all-nighter flights where people are in suits and ties and business attire,' Crista said. 'It's time to go to sleep.' Her go-to travel outfit is a blend of comfort and style: leggings, a cropped zip-up, and a tank underneath. And when it comes to brands? She's loyal. 'I always wear Lululemon or Vuori,' she added. Barefoot on a plane? That's a hard no—and a surprisingly common offense, according to flight attendant Karen. 'Underline this: never, never go barefoot walking around an airplane,' she warned. 'There's always broken glass. Plus, the floors—particularly in the bathroom—are filthy.' Going shoeless isn't just unsanitary; it's inconsiderate. 'I've had to tell people to put their shoes back on because other passengers were complaining that their feet stink,' she added. Instead, both Karen and Crista recommend wearing compression socks, not only for hygiene but also for circulation. Karen noted they're especially important for travelers with heart or circulation concerns, while Crista praised them as a simple in-flight wellness hack. 'They're so great for you,' she emphasized. 'I have a couple of pairs that I wear on longer flights. I also do calf raises while sitting to help with blood flow.' You won't score any points with flight crews by boarding in stilettos—especially on a red-eye. 'Wearing high heels on an all-nighter flight is just ridiculous,' Crista claimed. Not only are they impractical for dashing through terminals, but they can also be downright uncomfortable once you're in the air. 'Wear shoes with plenty of room in them—especially on long flights, because your feet can swell up,' Karen added. Swollen feet and sky-high heels? That's a recipe for in-flight misery. Instead, Crista recommends the ever-comfy Adidas Sambas. They're stylish, supportive, and easy to slip off at TSA. Keep scrolling to shop these kicks and other comfy shoes we swear by. Belts might look polished, but they're more trouble than they're worth when flying. Not only can they be uncomfortable under your seatbelt for hours, but they also tend to set off alarms at security. 'Belts always go off at security,' Crista points out, which means you'll likely end up fumbling to remove it in line or getting pulled aside for a second screening. Instead, opt for drawstring bottoms or pull-on pants that don't require a belt. They're more comfortable for long stretches in the air and will help you breeze through TSA without extra hassle. Jewelry might elevate your outfit, but wearing it through the airport isn't worth the hassle. 'I pack my jewelry in my backpack or carry-on instead of wearing it, so I don't risk setting off security,' Crista said. Beyond triggering alarms at TSA, traveling with bulky or expensive pieces can increase your chances of losing something valuable, or worse, having it stolen. A better strategy? Stow your accessories in a compact, zippered travel case so everything stays organized, secure, and easy to access once you land. When it comes to carry-on extras, flight attendants know a thing or two about practicality, and Karen swears by the iconic Longchamp tote. 'They fold up to nothing,' she explained, making them perfect to stash in your personal item until you need extra space. 'If you buy duty-free items or grab food at the airport, you can just unfold it, and it opens into a really nice bag.' According to Karen, it's practically a uniform accessory: 'Longchamp tote bags are the number one tote for most flight attendants.' She also called out another flight crew favorite: the Baggalini Carry-all Expandable Tote Bagi. Designed with plenty of compartments and thoughtful organization, 'it's very popular with all of the zippered compartments,' she noted—especially for travelers who want easy access to passports, earbuds, and other essentials mid-flight.

Travellers go wild over a must-have item - and it's selling out fast: 'Best airport essential to exist'
A simple yet chic tracksuit set has become a must-have for travellers - and it's so popular that one of the colours sold out in just five minutes. Australian fashion-forward brand All For Mimi has been struggling to keep up with demand since releasing its viral hoodies and track pants in early May. The set features buttery-soft fabric, perfect for anyone looking to elevate their airport loungewear while travelling in comfort - or avoid the stress of choosing an outfit for an early morning flight. All For Mimi founder Sophia Begg designed the track sets herself, with the range offering three 'dreamy' colours: Midnight, Chill and Scarlett. On the night of the launch on May 2, Midnight proved to be a fan favourite colour, selling out in just minutes. 'It's such a crazy feeling,' Sophia told FEMAIL. 'Working so hard on a product and seeing the customers and community love it and feel confident in our pieces is an unexplainable feeling.' The track set, featuring a zip jacket ($109), hoodie ($99) and track pants ($89), has been a huge hit among shoppers, with many calling it 'the best airport fit to exist'. 'Obsessed is an understatement,' one said. 'Total vibes, love it,' another shared. The 21-year-old, who hails from NSW, is a full time content creator with more than two million followers across her social media platforms. She was inspired to create her clothing brand All For Mimi, as a sweet nod to her great-great-grandmother Mimi, who was a fashion designer herself. 'I was not fortunate enough to meet her, but with every story, I grew more and more connected to her,' Sophia said. 'Her love for glamorous fashion, coupled with her refusing to accept the status quo, has stayed with me as I've grown into the woman I am with a desire to follow in her footsteps. I wanted to dedicate my brand to Mimi in her honour, and I hope to carry on her legacy in my work.' The fashion entrepreneur put blood, sweet and tears into designing her own range of clothes - a lengthy process that took over three years before she finally launched the business in October 2023. 'All For Mimi is known for its quality pieces and inclusivity in the size range and styles to cater for every body,' she said. 'We put every bit of love and care into designing our pieces and do not sell something unless it is of the highest quality and comfort. 'We have received so many shipments that have been messed up during production and had to forfeit stock because we refuse to sell anything that we don't 100 per cent stand by and love. 'We are so proud of every piece we sell.' The brand's sell-out piece is the 'life changing' tank top, which has been flying off the shelves since its launch. 'Our viral tank is obviously iconic and probably my most worn AFM piece,' she said. 'It's the top we cannot keep in stock - it goes absolutely wild. It's the softest material ever, yet is so flattering, and gives an instant boob lift.' Fans of the top has been raving about it, with one saying: 'Every big busted girls dream tank.. I'm a 12F I brought black and white, both sizes S and M and when I tell you they literally are life changing I mean it, snatched tick... girls supported tick. 'This fabric is unmatched so buttery and soft I can't wait to buy more - definitely will be getting smalls for other colours in future for a more snatched look.' Another fan favourite piece is the Harper jacket. 'Our jacket in red sold out within one minute and we've restocked twice. We still have people asking to this day, a year later, if we'll bring it back in stock,' Sophia said. But if Sophia had to choose just one piece from her collection, the business owner said the pyjamas are her all-time favourite. 'They're the comfiest PJs I've ever worn and I live in them,' she said. All For Mimi has been growing rapidly, amassing nearly 200,000 loyal fans across its social media platforms. 'We're constantly designing new collections and pieces which is so fun,' Sophia said. 'We are rapidly growing our team which is super exciting and we are actually moving out of our first ever office, which is bittersweet.'

Lululemon's ‘We Made Too Much' Section Is Bursting With Packable Summer Styles
Whether your summer travel wardrobe is filled with athleisure essentials or more fashion-forward pieces, Lululemon's 'We Made Too Much' section is the one place you can rely on to uncover airport-ready styles at far more wallet-friendly prices than the rest of its site. Luckily, the retailer just did a sweeping restock of the section, offering up countless fresh styles to add to your suitcase for your next trip—including exercise dresses, joggers, skirts, and more starting at just $39. After visiting the site to stock up on versatile activewear essentials for my own upcoming travels, I've compiled a list of the 15 best picks, with markdowns up to 43 percent off. From cozy in-flight layers to sleek pieces that'll turn heads on the streets no matter where in the world you are, these are the summer-friendly Lululemon styles you'll want to claim as your own before they sell out. Lululemon is primarily known for its high-quality activewear, but its 'We Made Too Much' section is also stocked with sleek lifestyle picks like this bold crochet cardigan—the perfect addition to chilly flights. The relaxed-fitting layer is easily dressed up or down; and while it will instantly become a year-round statement wardrobe piece, it's especially great to have on hand for cool beach evenings and al fresco dinners in the summer time. Made from a soft cotton blend that feels luxurious against the skin, wear it open or closed thanks to three gorgeous buttons. This stunning lilac midi skirt may be stylish, but it's also sure to be one of the most comfortable pieces in your travel wardrobe this summer—and it's under $100 now. The stretchy elastic waistband is designed not to dig into your skin, so you can wear it comfortably on long sightseeing days or even on a cross-country flight. Plus, the longer hemline ensures you'll stay covered while the lightweight, wrinkle-resistant fabric will keep you cool amidst rising temperatures. And whether you prefer a low- or high-rise, this A-line skirt will look great either way. To avoid feeling stifled by tight fabric while traveling, choose this loose-fitting split-back tee. Designed as activewear, trust that it'll keep you sweat-free no matter the weather. The flowy top is ultra stretchy with a fabric that's specifically designed not to lose its shape. It's made from a sweat-wicking polyester blend that packs down easily and won't take up much space in your suitcase; right now it's just $49 in five dreamy pastel shades. Your go-to summer mini skirt doesn't need to sacrifice comfort to be stylish. Don't believe me? Just look at this high-rise mini that's designed with a smooth, thick waistband that lays flat against the skin. The breathable cotton-blend construction is a great swap for denim. Its versatile shape will look just as great styled with sneakers as it will with a pair of kitten heels. It comes in a range of six bright and neutral shade options starting at just $39. Pick up more than one color without maxing out your budget. You should always invest in clothing made from high-quality materials. The Zeroed In Short-sleeve Shirt is the best example; on the surface, it appears to be another plain T-shirt, but it's made from a moisture-wicking soft cotton blend that effortlessly ties comfort with function. The relaxed fit is flattering and easy to style with every pair of shorts or pants in your suitcase, and you'll even be able to tell by the weight of the fabric that this is a clear upgrade from your other closet staples. A high-quality pair of stretchy, long-line shorts will be an invaluable addition to your suitcase this summer, and seeing as this high-rise option is fitted with two deep side pockets, it's no question that they're your best choice. Designed for running, these shouldn't ride up with every step. Plus, they're made with a thick, comfortable waistband that won't dig into your skin or feel restrictive. They're a great pick to layer beneath a mini dress if you're seeking more coverage, but they can also be worn while hiking and for more strenuous activities in the sumer heat since the fabric is quick-drying and sweat-wicking. Comfy travel pants are always 'in'—regardless of the season. This cropped pair is our favorite way to test out the newly-returned capri trend without veering too far off the full-length pants path. These are more elevated than sweatpants (but have a shockingly similar feel), and the high-rise waist is secured with an adjustable drawcord, so you can easily achieve your perfect fit. The pockets are fitted with a subtle card sleeve to safely store essentials while on the go, and perhaps most impressive of all, they're currently almost $50 off. Summer isn't exactly the time you'll want to slip on sweatpants when you're in the mood for something comfy, but don't let the heat stop you from traveling in loungewear. Take this as your sign to snatch up these oversized sweatshorts while they're under $60. Made with the same stretchy elastic waistband and cozy fleece-lined fabric as your favorite pair of sweats, they cut off just above the knees for added air flow with a slouchy, relaxed fit. They're even available in sizes ranging from 3XS to XL, and boast deep pockets practically made to hold your go-to airport snacks. Aside from being comfortable and offering that ideal casual fit for summer travel, these jersey shorts are also super stylish and versatile, lending themselves to endless styling potential. Made with a soft, brushed fabric that's both stretchy and quick-drying, these simple shorts are far more travel-friendly than classic rigid styles (but they still have deep pockets), plus the neutral color options make them easy to style with basic tees and bolder options alike. And if you like a longer inseam, the seven-inch shorts are also available for $49 right now. If you don't already have an exercise dress in your closet, this is your opportunity to snag a comfortable and breezy mini to travel in while it's just $59. Made from a lightweight organic cotton fabric and decorated with flattering scrunched detailing at the back, the functional piece is as easily styled for a day of sightseeing as it is for an afternoon by the pool. It lands just above the knee for the perfect amount of coverage, while the high-neck design is on-trend and sleek. Dresses may have never been on your radar for travel days, but that will all change with this breezy piece in your collection. Weary travelers will be happy to have a cushy, supportive pair of sandals to slip on after a long day on their feet, which is exactly why you'll want to add the Restfeel Flip-flops to your shopping cart while they're marked down to $49 this summer. The cloud-like insoles are lined with a super-soft fabric atop a layer of foam, while the outsoles are crafted with durable rubber that provides traction on everything from smooth airport floors to uneven cobblestone streets. They're supportive and breathable enough to wear on a walking tour, but if you're tied to wearing sneakers on the go, these recovery slides will offer much-needed reprieve for tired feet at the end of the day. Lululemon is perhaps best known for its buttery soft leggings, and this high-rise, cropped pair is a must-have for the summer while it's almost $20 off in a hot pink shade. The Align leggings are made to feel like a second layer of skin—comfortable for yoga, traveling, and everything in between. They move with your body without ever feeling restrictive or digging in, and the wide waistband is home to a hidden card pocket for stashing items while you're out and about. Most importantly, they're both sweat-wicking and quick-drying. If you're going to wear a pair of long pants in the summer, it should at least be a pick that's as loose and breathable as this $89 option—and it certainly doesn't hurt that they come in the most beautiful lilac shade. Don't worry about feeling restricted by tight, uncomfortable fabric since these pants are made with a wide-leg design complete with slits at the hems, and a cooling material that will feel great even after touching down in a toasty destination. They're the perfect style to dress up or down with the right accessories, available in sizes 3XS to XL. Whether you're looking for a lightweight in-flight layer or sweatshirt to travel with in case weather takes a turn for the worse, this full-zip hoodie is the way to go—and right now, it's almost $20 off. The generous, boxy fit is loose-fitting and easy to slip on and off in a hurry. Crafted with a subtle bubble hem, adding a playful touch to an otherwise simple piece of loungewear, the sweatshirt is made from Lululemon's classic softstreme fabric that's airy and gentle against the skin. Plus, it's quick-drying and stretchy, ensuring your unending comfort during your trip. Far more put-together than your favorite pair of sweatpants, these brushed joggers are guaranteed to become your new go-to travel pants all year-long—and you can snag them for under $100 right now. While they may feel like sweats, the tailored look allows them to be dressed up to look your most chic at the airport. Made with stretchy, quick-drying fabric that makes them uniquely functional and great for long days of traveling, they're available in sizes XS to 2XL with three inseam lengths to find your perfect fit, and the four neutral colorway options are versatile and flattering.

TOWIE's Becks Bloomberg risks being turned away from her flight as she flashes underboob in a TINY top on cast trip to Portugal
TOWIE star Becks Bloomberg shocked with her choice of airport attire as she joined the cast on a trip to Portugal on Thursday. The reality TV star, 31, arrived at Stansted airport as the group made their way abroad for the show's 15-year anniversary series. Yet Becks - who joined TOWIE last year and is pals with Katie Price - raised eyebrows as she made her way into the departures lounge. The personality opted to go braless in a tiny white top that flashed plenty of underboob and her stomach. She teamed the garment with a baby blue sunglasses and wheeled two large suitcases with her into the terminal. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The reality TV star, 31, arrived at Stansted airport as the group made their way abroad for the show's 15-year anniversary series While Becks was dressed to impress, she risked being turned away from her flight. Although there are no official airline rules on what you can and can't wear, several flyers have spoken about being banned from boarding because of their skimpy clothing. Nonetheless, the rest of the TOWIE crew seemed excited for their trip away, with the cast set to enjoy a two-week stay at a Portuguese five star resort. Ella Rae Wise, 24, threw on a comfy outfit ready for the flight consisting of a fluorescent pink gym set, white trainers and a matching white jumper. She wore her long hair down for her travels while lugging along an expensive Louis Vuitton suitcase with a bag from the same brand resting on top of it. Ella will no doubt be hoping to avoid a run-in with ex-boyfriend Dan Edgar, 35, while on holiday after the couple split in March. The castmate insisted that 'something was missing' from their relationship, after she agreed to be his girlfriend during a romantic proposal in the last series. Love Island star Elma Pazar, 32, and her boyfriend from the show, former winner Sammy Root, 24, arrived separately. Becks was joined at the airport by a host of other TOWIE stars, including Ella Rae Wise, 23 Love Island star Elma Pazar, 32, and her boyfriend from the show former winner Sammy Root, 24, arrived separately Elma looked elegant in an all white jumpsuit while Sammy donned an all-black look with a cap. They jet off on a week where they became one of only two couples from Love Island: All Stars series 2 to be still be together after Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Curtis Pritchard, and Ronnie Vint and Harriett Blackmore announced their splits. Roman Hackett, 23, who just returned from a loved-up getaway with girlfriend Matilda Draper, arrived wearing a full tracksuit with his hood up. After announcing she would be joining Roman on TOWIE earlier this year, Matilda was however not spotted arriving at the airport. Long-term TOWIE star and former flame of Mark Wright, Lauren Goodger, 38, rocked up sporting a summery fit consisting of beige linen trousers and a short-sleeve blouse to match. While Amy Childs, 34, was too in attendance along with her fiancé Billy Delbosq and their twins, with the mother-of-four sporting a yellow tracksuit co-ord. It comes after Amy sparked concern with her new slimmed-down appearance after dropping two stone. In a recent interview, she addressed the reason for her extreme weight loss and how she's dealt with the cruel trolling she's received as a result of it. She told Ok! Magazine: 'I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly. She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack. 'People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress. We're also having renovations done in the midst of parenting four kids.' Amy added: 'But I'm strong, I've been in this industry for 15 years. I've had lots of people concerned about me, which I completely understand, but yes, people can be so quick to judge.' She went on to explain how she once tried using weight-loss injections 18 months ago, but it made her 'so ill she threw up three or four times'. Amy has called off her wedding to her fiancé Billy after a stressful period dealing with her mother's ill health and her own extreme weight loss. The reality star, who is said to be 'gutted' over the decision, has reportedly decided to cancel their impending nuptials to focus on her personal life.
