Let's see if you can help me settle a debate with my husband. Ilove to wear my Juicy C. tracksuits on the plane--with Prada ballet flats, though. He thinks they are not "smart" enough for the plane.
Any thoughts?

oh dahling...haven't you read Muffin's plane tips 101?

1. Choose with great care the special flying outfit. You must look the part when flying so you can hold your head high and strut your stuff with grace and elegance as we all know only new outfits do.

Yes, let dear muffin explain it all ;-) :

Dress code? I think you can wear anything you want-I certainly have seen just about everything on an airplane -- who cares anymore; flying is definitely not what it used to be. Be comfortable.

Remember to march with pride through the airport with the u-shaped inflatable pillow hanging on your neck.

marianne, please ask dh to read the following regarding the wearing of leather pants on the plane. muffin again.

hmmm, how to dress for the plane. Don't worry, the plane won't notice what you're waering and if it says something, ignore it.

It's not the plane I'm worried about, it's that B.I.T.#.H. the concourse tram. ;-)

Virginia,
Here's the leather pants link:

Faina,
Shall we make that "pink speckled u-shaped inflatable pillow " ?

It's funny to me to see people all dressed up on the plane. I don't mean to judge, and they sure do look very nice, but I've noticed by the end of the flight, they tend to look as wrinkled, spilled-on, and haggard as the rest of us. I think the only one who may not be acting "smart" here is your husband.

Or star-studded?

And... as the question was about Prada flats, should we say "horse-shoe shaped" instead of U-shaped to stay closer to the original post?

yes dahling...I think we've answered her question!

I just hope Muffin gets a daily column on the New York Times. Hadn't laugh so much in a while...

Maybe he just doesn't like your track suits and is using the plane as an excuse to get you NOT to wear it.

...oh oh...never thought of that one Loki.

Comfort is the absolute KEY! My feet hurt just looking, every time I pass a female struting through the airport with high heels on!

yes, Southern belle, but those spike gals are either rednecks or Italians

I am one of the high heel wearing, wrinkled passengers you see at the aiport. My husband works for an airline and as part of the company dress code we must dress up to fly on a pass. I envy your comfortable shoes!
