Never Wear This On An Airplane

I was talking to a friend the other day who is going to be doing some traveling. They were telling me what they were going to wear on the plane. It is important to pick the right things to wear on a plane.

After hearing what she was planning on wearing on the plane, I found some great tips on what to wear or not wear on an airplane.

What you wear when you travel via air can be critical for keeping you comfortable and even safe in case of an emergency. If you want to be comfortable and safe while flying, don't wear these five things, according to Christopher Elliott of Tribune Media Services:

Heavy perfume or cologne
These scents may be your olfactory signature, but try to refrain before you board a plane. Perfume and cologne can permeate the interior of an aircraft, overwhelming and even sickening your fellow passengers.

High heels
Not only are high heels, especially stilettos, uncomfortable and restrictive on long flights, but also they can be a danger should you be forced to evacuate the aircraft using the inflatable emergency slides.

Shorts
No matter how warm it is in your departure city or your destination, it's cold on planes -- even in the summer. Wear shorts, and you're sure to regret it.

Light colors
Dark-colored clothes travel better for several reasons. If you spill something, the stain is less likely to be noticeable. You especially will appreciate this if your luggage is lost or delayed, forcing you to wear your travel clothes for a second day. Also, avoid synthetic fabrics because they can be hot and sticky. Instead, choose clothing made of natural fibers, such as cotton in the summer and wool in the winter.

Tight-fitting clothes
Pants, tops, dresses or skirts that are too form-fitting may be sexy attire, but they aren't the best travel attire. Not only are tight-fitting clothes uncomfortable on long flights, but also they can be dangerous by escalating deep vein thrombosis. Choose loose-fitting, non-binding clothes. (sfgate.com)
