I am travelling right now and notice the large amount of people wearing midriff baring tank tops, short shorts that are basically just underwear etc. Very skimpy dress. I'm not in any way trying to say that there's anything bad with dressing sexy or skimpy but here is my reasoning for not wanting to do so myself:
- I know it's summer but the airplane is freezing cold. The airports too I have found (I've been to five different ones on this trip). I get off the arctic blast plane to be greeted to another endless tundra of the airport. And I tend to be hot all the time but these planes especially this past trip have been just like giant flying glaciers.
- Airplanes are just kinda gross. I'm not a total extreme germaphobe but it feels better to have a barrier between me and the seat rather than placing my butcheeks directly on it. Also the seats themselves are sometime made of leather (pleather?) which doesn't really breathe so if you do sweat despite the frostbite you are just moist. Having a layer of clothing would improve ventilation of your backside.
Okay that is it. Again this isn't a critique of people dressing sexy or anything. Just a question about the practicality of dressing in very little clothing on a plane.
