Spirit Airlines came out this week and said.....while you are boarding....if you are noticed as being inappropriately dressed...they won't board you. They were limited on saying what inappropriate might might, and even said that tattoo choices....might figure into this.
The first flight I ever took....was the Nashville to San Antonio flight....for boot-camp, and I would suggest that 60-percent of folks were wearing 'going-to-church' clothing. This was the summer of 1979.
It was along the late 1980s....when I first noticed inappropriate clothing styles (a flight from Miami to Orlando).....where several young women wore string-bakini tops.
Over the next 15-odd years....it progressed.
2010, I took a flight from Montreal to Frankfurt....with two women wearing pajamas (top and bottom), with flip-flops.
2013, I took a flight from Frankfurt to Dulles....where an older woman wore a tube-top with marginal shorts on.
If you asked me...is this mostly a gal thing? I'd say guys I've seen on flights have pushed the limit just as much....wearing purely basketball shirts and trunks.
I was reading some commentary by a guy who noted that the recent years have been this game by teenage girls...say age 13 to 15....who are attempting to 'out-tramp' their friends on the flights.
The sad thing here? Over the next six months....there's probably 300 folks who will reach the gate...ONLY to be halted and told...either change your clothing or miss the flight.
Necessary act? Yeah.
