Particularly if you’re struggling to find an airport outfit for your next trip, or want expert advice on what to wear to feel comfortable when travelling, we’ve got just the thing for you.
Posting on social media, Sille Rydell, an air hostess and UGC content creator from Copenhagen, got candid on appropriate plane attire, leaving many totally stunned.
Not only did she warn against crop tops, but there’s also a popular item that could cause painful burns too – yes, you heard that correctly.
Alongside a clip of Sille walking through a first class cabin, she shared what you should “not wear on a plane” and acknowledged that she is speaking from experience as she has “seen it all.”
Sille then claimed that while you think your outfit “might be cute at the gate”, it may not be when at 38,000 feet.
She revealed what she would “never fly in” – and shorts and crop tops were first on the list.
She wrote: “Ever felt the wrath of plane AC on bare thighs or on your naked belly? Brutal.”
Next, Sille shared why flip flops should be avoided at all costs, as she explained: “Fine for the beach, not for running to your gate or emergency landings. Plus, I know you will take them off during flight and walk barefoot.”
Additionally, she advised travellers to avoid polyester and synthetics when travelling, as she stressed: “You need breathable fabrics when cabin temperature fluctuates.”
Not only this, but she also explained that tights should not be worn when flying, as she observed that they can be flammable.
As a result, she warned: “Not what you want in case of fire – fabric might burn into your skin.”
Not only this, but Sille also advised against tight, non-stretchy clothes, as she acknowledged: “Your body bloats in the air. What feels snug on the ground might feel like a corset in the sky.”

Subsequently, Sille recommended those stepping foot on an aircraft should choose “comfort, safety, and layers.”
Social media users react
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @sillerydell, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it was posted just 20 hours ago but has quickly racked up 312,900 views, 3,192 likes and 41 comments.
Social media users quickly raced to the comments to share their usual flight attire, plus their biggest travel outfit fails.
Is there an official dress code for flights?
WHILE there are no official airline rules on what you can and can’t wear on board, there are some unspoken guidelines, as passengers have been kicked off a flight for their choice of clothing.
If you can, avoid dirty or torn clothes, anything with slogans that may be deemed offensive or contain any rude language
Some airlines do allow flip-flops, but others may not accept you on board if you’re wearing beach attire or something too revealing.
It’s also important to check whether your destination has specific laws or local customs around clothing, as the airline may expect passengers to adhere to these before boarding.
For example, Qatar Airways have a dress code as the mid-point is a conservative Muslim country.
If passengers visit Doha as a stopover, they must observe the strict dress codes which include no sleeveless shirts, and pants must be no higher than your knees.
It’s a good idea to opt for clothes which are comfortable such as jeans and a nice top.
Bring layers – flights can get chilly and if you do experience a member of the cabin crew asking you to cover up, you’re already prepared.
Overall, think smart casual.
One person said: “I always wear shorts on my flights. Shorts and a hoodie for the win.”
Another added: “I wear slouchy harem pants, a T-shirt and a hoodie. I wear trainers and take a scarf.”
Meanwhile, someone else admitted: “I forgot that I would have to remove my hoodie at security and I didn’t wear a T-shirt under it and I had to have a full pat down because I couldn’t take it off.”
Whilst a fourth confessed: “Worst fail was leggings with a SOLID ribbed waist section. I needed a wee the whole time.”
