With Korean Air, Flight Attendants Fly Fashionably
Looks like a few of you must have noticed how pretty the flight attendant uniforms were for Korean Air because all of you guessed correctly which airline these stylish flight attendants worked for.
The uniforms were introduced in 2005 and let's just say they were badly needed. Korean Air keeps an entire Uniform Fashion History on their website and the ones worn from 1991-2004 were well, so very early 90s with a few leftovers from the late 80s.
But today's uniforms, envisioned by Italian designer Gianfranco Ferre, feature a choice of either skirt or pants in consideration with the FA's "active cabin duties." Here's how Korean Air describes their stylistic goal:
During the development of this attire, the largest emphasis was placed on attaining harmony between modern global fashion appeal with a foundation of Korea's traditional and inherent beauty. While elegant and refined, the uniform is also comfortable, distinguished by its ergonomic design and the use of practical and supple fabrics.
We mostly just love the pretty blue color that they use, which was actually incorporated into the uniforms of 1973. Now, where can we buy these outfits for ourselves?

United Will Hit The Runway In 2011 With Cynthia Rowley-Designed Uniforms
It's amazing what you can learn on Twitter on a Friday afternoon, namely that United Airlines is all in a tizzy today over the announcement that a new look is coming for their flight attendants: uniforms by fashion designer Cynthia Rowley. Already, the Chicago Tribune is on the case, discovering that the redesign is the "first time in recent history that United has tapped a well-known designer for the job."
We're not so surprised however; Cynthia Rowley is a Chicago native, and United is not only based in Chicago, but calls the Willis (née Sears) Tower home. The new uniforms won't come until Rowley completes her trip to visit United employees in Chicago, LA, New York and London to ask them for their opinions. And although Rowley is known for her ready-to-wear designs for women, the United designs will cover all bases, literally: "The uniforms will be designed for flight attendants, pilots, customer service representatives and maintenance employees."

Beckham Goes Caped Crusader For Transatlantic Flight
Last week, we had a perfect demonstration of how not to look and how not to handle your passport when Twilight star Kristen Stewart traveled through LAX looking a mess and barely holding onto her passport. But trust good old former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham to trample through London-Heathrow in a black cape-y thing and giant shades and put in-flight fashion back on track.
No, we're not necessarily endorsing going pantsless with only a cape to keep you warm, but if you're flying first class from London back to the States as super world traveler Beckham is, you're welcome to look a little over-the-top. And that is why Victoria also gets a pass for toting a blue bag with a black outfit—at least she's also got her passport under wraps.

What Are Your In-Flight Fashion Do's and Don'ts?
Not only is this outfit too painful to wear in-flight, it totally clashes with your Komfort Kollar!
Forbes has put forth a new kind of travel list today--Fashion for Frequent Fliers. The designer duds on this list not only look posh (you always want to look presentable in case of an upgrade) but they are made of wrinkle-free and scratch-free fabrics. We're also digging anything on this list that includes the word "elastic."
Forbes put this list together for once high-flying business class passengers who have been unceremoniously dumped to economy class by budget-cutting bosses but for the rest of us frequent fliers who have been slumming it in coach 90 percent of the time, we already have our list of go-to plane wear.
For this Jaunted contributor, black cotton leggings and a chic but roomy tunic have long been in-flight fashion staples (we like the ones with bejeweled necklines from Forever 21. Makes the look a little dressier but the fabric is usually cotton.) The shoes depend on the season but typically, it's anything that's easy on and easy off. We've also been known to sport a pair of neon green fleece socks in case of frigid cabin temperatures.
One article of clothing sure to have us turn into an in-flight fashion Anna Wintour? Sweatpants. Designer sweatpants are ok, but not desired. Those and Komfort Kollars.
It's ok to judge your fellow passengers. We do it all the time so go ahead and add your own In-Flight Fashion Staples in comments below!
