What not to wear on a plane: Experts reveal the risks of leggings
What to wear on a plane? This question bothers many people. Some prioritize comfort, while others are often forced to wear an outfit suitable for the circumstances they will find themselves in after landing. One thing is sure - there are things you absolutely should not wear on a plane.
Christine Negroni, author of the book "The Crash Detectives," about the most mysterious aviation disasters in the world, revealed that there is something women particularly often wear without knowing the consequences.
Do not wear these on a plane
Her analysis shows that leggings are not a good idea for air travel. By reviewing in detail what passengers were wearing on board planes that crashed, she found evidence that leggings can leave terrible scars if the plane we are travelling on goes up in flames.
The American writer explained that it’s about the material leggings are made of, which can lead to disaster in contact with fire. "You might have to escape through a cabin fire or there could be a separate fire on the ground once you leave the aircraft. Everyone is wearing yoga pants on planes now, but I avoid all artificial fibres because they are more likely to burn and stick to you if there is a fire," she said in an interview with Sun Online Travel. "I’d advise wearing cotton clothes or anything made of natural fibres."
Forget about shorts on the plane
Flight attendants with many years of experience often warn against wearing shorts on planes because the seats are not cleaned regularly. They also recommend not wearing pyjamas - unless they are provided by the airline on long-haul flights.
"Instead, wear loose-fitting, comfortable pants with an elastic band," said Susan Fogwell, a former flight attendant, in an interview with "Travel & Leisure."
