I think we have to accept the fashion of the day. Fashion and music industry people are major customers at the pointy end. They dress to suit their business and I see nothing wrong with it as long as they their privates are covered. Why is a girl in a very short mini or a guy in Chinos and a polo but with shocking BO and a drinking problem okay but this is not :?: I see no problem at all with the attire of this girl for traveling or entering the lounge.
 
And almost as classy as climbing 4-5 feet up onto the room divider. Described as a "fashionista" in the Tele article.
 
And some actually get into the first class bed wearing their travelling clothes.
 
I fly in J on long haul flights, and Y+ one short hauls, and no way do I use the Airline P/J's: I feel more comfortable in casual clothes in front of other flyers ! Sure I'm a tad older than most, and dress to the older standards, and comforts of my age group.
Saying that, if torn jeans (Genes) are the go, enjoy your flight in J

Cheers,
Dee.

I've worn tailored shorts, a t shirt and thongs into F lounges for as long as I can remember, including half a dozen times this year in Syd and Mel. That just happens to be what I wear everywhere.

And on long-haul J, I tend to change into the Qantas greys not long after take-off.

Never a word mentioned about either and everyone I meet seems quite relaxed about it.

It was only when I found this thread that I found out about all the silent judgers potentially disapproving. Each to their own I guess.

Interesting view, but having watched with interest an older pax refuse PJs on trip to Johannesburg - ... Turbulence ... Red wine on nice trousers ... My question is why be too proud to wear airline PJs?? - hang up your clothes and arrive with clean crease free free outfit ! Thank you Qantas please continue to provide me with pjs !! I am about to be 60 - think that makes me more sensible actually!!

and I am over 60 but the first thing I do on receiving PJs is race off to put them on and get my clothes hung up. So nice to arrive at destination with clothes that are not "travel stained!"

I pay a fortune to enjoy first class and people are wearing bloody pyjamas in the F cabin on the plane :confused: Honestly keep your clothes on :mad:

What exactly is wrong with wearing pyjamas on a night flight, especially when they are provided by QF? I, for one, do not want to sleep in jeans or a decent pair of work trousers.

Pyjamas are clothes, I assume you cannot see anything that you should not be able to see, so I really think your opinion, in this instance, is out of line.

Ok - if I am young then all I have to say is you must be totally decrepit! Gives me hope that I can still travel for many more years! We are trying to organise our travel in order of difficulty - elephant safari next year and Silk route by rail in 2016 - leaving the cruises for when we need our walking sticks :) And yes I totally agree with humour being good :)
 
From various lounge tried overseas I don't recall seeing anyone with thongs/flip flops & tank tops etc. Doubt the likes of EK and CX would make welcome.

All QFF have to do is put a sign outside what the dress regulations are.

And then enforce it, just like PB!

Even though it has a collar, I wasn't brave enough to wear my Collingwood top the last time I was in Wing F in HKG.

They don't care. I regularly travelled to HK(and all over asia from there) a year ago as a WP with Qantas. My basic travelling gear was a t-shirt, shorts(tailored I guess, not the running type or stubbies :P), and thongs. Just stuff I feel comfortable flying in. Went to all the first class lounges I could go to as a OWE(including Wing in HK), first class lounges in melb and sydney, and no one batted an eyelid or said anything. While I didn't consider my dress standards formal, I also didn't think it was too bogan-like. I felt it was neat casual, and that was enough.

Ditto Ghostdunks. Identical attire for me and the same all around Europe, Asia, the Americas and South Africa. I haven't pushed it to singlet and stubbies but certainly t-shirt, shorts and thongs are universally accepted in all airport lounges in my experience. And just from viewing others, singlet and stubbies seem to be fine too. I've also passed with Ug boots when I had a toe injury in China. No issues.
