Air travel, particularly longer international flights, is uncomfortable in one way or another no matter which class you're flying in. When I fly in the summer to Italy, business or economy, I wear the same thing every year - jeans, a basic grey t-shirt, a light cardigan, and my superga sneakers. It's a casual outfit to be sure, but given that the last few years we've had delays of 8+ hours, arrived in 90+ degrees, had to run through train stations, rebook tickets, etc. all with 2 kids in tow, there's just no way I could "dress up" on a flight and still get to the final destination with my sanity intact.
Would I like to be in a skirt? Sure, but then I'd worry about flashing everyone on the plane as I tried to get comfortable to sleep even just a tiny bit. No WAY am I wearing heels or pantyhose. And as far as I have observed, Italy is not fully embracing the "wear exercise leggings at all time regardless of the occasion" lifestyle, so I don't dress like that when I'm there either.
Just finished Elin Hilderbrand’s latest book “5 Star Weekend”. It was very entertaining but I think I enjoyed her book from last summer “The Hotel Nantucket” a little more.
When I was in high school, I always dressed nicer on Fridays--wanted to leave friends with good thoughts of me over the weekend...I am in my late 60's now (we had a sort of dress code then in the late 60's/early 70's). Anyway, I agree people act better when they look better -- I am all for comfort on long flights, but you can still look nice AND comfortable. I remember my very first flight on Ozark airlines--we dressed up, pantyhose and all! Yikes!
I recently returned from CDG to Detroit. Then Omaha. The overseas part of the flight was intimate as far as seating was concerned. Delta added a seat to an intended 3 in the middle. Now as four I had the shoulder of the woman next to me OVER my shoulder as there simply was no place for her to fit. For years I cover up for all flights. I don’t want other peoples uncovered flesh touching me.
Men in shorts can often be unsightly I am sure I sound exactly like what I am: Old Lady.

Always enjoy your news. Please keep it up. And "stay cool" this summer.

I want that painted garden in my living room. Sigh....
