What NOT to Wear (On an Airplane)

when I travel my outfit choice is part of my packing routine and if you travel like I do you know that choosing your outfit that you wear on the airplane through the airport takes time and thought I want to dress comfortably I want to feel confident in my outfit and I definitely do not want to worry while I'm walking through the airport or while I'm on the airplane about what I'm wearing I want to be in vacation mode in every sense of the word however there are eight things you should not wear in an airport and let me know in the comments below if you think I have proven why you should not wear each piece my name is Laurie and I create YouTube videos about ideas that pop into my head thank you for taking the time to watch my videos we just got back from Chicago and this idea popped into my head about what you should not wear on an airplane when I learned from experience by wearing some of my nicer boots that I don't wear throughout the day running errands so I'm not used to wearing them for long periods of time we left on the morning of the snowstorm in Houston Texas where we woke up at 3:30 to an inch and a half of snow and had to drive through pouring snow to get to the airport walk through the airport walk on the airplane and then getting up out of the airport in Chicago I had a blister already on my tote and we used an uber driver and I had to ask him I said will it weird you out if I put a bandaid on in your car I am a complete stranger in this guy's car I was so embarrassed but I had to go to the event right as soon as we got into Chicago so I couldn't change my shoes well I could have but the suitcase was on the trunk anyway that's my number one tip is to not wear shoes that you don't wear very often because of the chance of getting a blister or two I took some video right when I got back from Chicago while it was fresh in my mind so you will see me in another part of my house my studio giving you examples of what I think you should not wear on air where when we're talking about shoes do not take shoes that don't have a zipper or that you can't take off easily to get through security I had to take off my boots that I was wearing to the event and here's what it looks like here's my boot there is no zipper it's cut it's supposed to be over the knee but I'm taller so it doesn't go over the knee but I have to take them off like this okay there's no zipper there's no way to get them off standing a lot in security is not when I want to sit down on the floor or lean against something and slide those shoes off I want easy access easy removal to take off my shoes so pick wisely when you're choosing what shoes to wear in the airport wearing white pants is so up there I have I learned that very easily because you can get so many stains on your jeans not because of your own fault if you have on white pants which are so trendy looks so cool in the winter and in the summer you can sit on something in the boarding area in the bus the parking lot bus in the train via terminals you can sit in a seat in the airplane and spill coffee on yourself I do not recommend wearing them you don't have your cleaning supplies in you might have to wait five days or however long your trip is to really truly clean it out one tip my mom figured out when we were in Maine is that if you boil some water like in your coffee pot if you boil some water and pour it over your white shirt she had a white shirt it will take out a lot of the stain with white jeans I learned from experience this happened to me I was wearing the cutest little white jeans and I pulled my suitcase out of the overhead bin and because it was so heavy i clunked it down onto my leg and the wheel of the suitcase rubbed up against my white pants and it was so much of a smudge that I couldn't like wipe it off or smudge it out so it's a beyond your control but that's just something else to think about when wearing white jeans I also think you should stay away from cream beautiful creamy sweaters and white tops because of the same reason stains that are not caused by yourself that you have no control over the turbulence it can come out of nowhere and the littlest bumps can knock some of the sloshing coffee onto your white shirt or white pants or white sweater okay another thing that I think in the summer is so fun to wear is a maxi skirt however when you are walking through the airport and through the airplane lavatory your maxi skirt is going to drag against the floor at the lavatory on the airplane and let's think of it like this as my friend Jim said he's a pilot and he said if you do not feel comfortable wearing a maxi dress into a like rock concert porta potty or port-a-john into that bathroom then do not wear it in the airport in the airplane lavatory okay let's say you are walking to your seat and you sit down look how much it is dragging on the floor and in the lavatories on the airplane you know all there is bodily fluids on the floor and people go barefooted also as a woman you've got to pull that skirt up and you're not worried about what's on the seat of the airplane toilet you're worried about all the other stuff that's around it because remember the toilet seat is the same height as the ledge around it and that's your skirt you've got to be really careful about that skirt touching the ledge and getting all those bodily fluids on it with a maxi skirt I have loved this idea from my friend an age you can tie it up into a knot and that also helps but it is a skirt that is long and flowy so it is going to drag even if you sit down or squat to go to the restroom the same thing with the maxi dress it will drag the floor when you're walking beside the seat your skirt may swipe past somebody's seat that has I don't know some kind smudge on it so be careful with that because skirts and dresses they're flouncy and they brush things that you don't want him to brush on an airplane okay I was so excited when I found this Cape and I wanted to wear it on the airplane because it's long enough to wear with leggings or with capri leggings now today I have on my black pants and my black boots that award but here's what happens when you wear a cape that has sleeves is you put on your backpack it restricts your arms like I'm trying to walk forward having the backpack on or a purse with the weight of the purse right there it messes up the whole look that you're going for it for your airplane outfit when I travel I want to be like fluid I don't want any restrictions on my movements I don't want to feel not cute in my travel outfit so I am against wearing a cape that has like sleeves in it armhole sleeves and I also have this other one okay I have this cape it's a shawl there are no sleeve holes okay so it's just the point in the front and the point in the back but look how long it goes down in the back so when you sit down or a squat to go to the restroom that back part you've got to really make sure it does not touch any of the wet stuff that's around the seat not on the seat but around the seat of the toilet I know it sounds so gross but it is a reality now I'm gonna put on my backpack and it's hard putting on a backpack with thick sweaters but that's okay so this does not restrict my arms as much because there are no sleeve holes hanging pulling up this part of the material but it messes up the whole look of my outfit so this would not be my choice for an airplane travel outfit I can wear this any time of the year anywhere else not on an airplane I just think it's too much to worry about or fool with and I want to be in vacation mode not thinking at all I also shy away from wearing a plaid nut plaid a button-up shirt when I travel on an airplane for my outfit I would love I love the length and the draping of some button-down shirts but you have this where when you're spreading or stretching or if you have a poorly made shirt that's a button now it is easily going to show your skin when you sit down and spread the fabric unless you have fabric tape this is the best way to do it you just tear it with the length that you need and then place it down take off the top layer of plastic you lift it up and take off that last piece of plastic take it down and then put your shirt right back over it and you cannot tell like when you sit that is my pet peeve of oxford shirts when you sit down they inevitably open up or poke up right where you don't want them to and another way to solve the problem with but no shirts ok gaping open is to sew a thin little strip like your third button-down or however high you want it to go to sew straight down all the way to the bottom and that way it won't gap open at all whatsoever make sure you sew it on the very edge so that when you wash your shirt and dry it you don't have to iron every little section like you would normally with a button-down shirt that could fold back when you wash it and dry it like that there's a condition called thrombosis and it is where you have a blood clot that forms from very very restrictive clothing in a certain area especially around your calves and then can create other blood clots and then the main blood clot enlarges and has serious risks involved to your health so boots that are way too tight and I've come close sometimes because my jeans were thick that I wore inside my boots that's just something to think about thanks again for popping over to my Laurie pop channel I hope it has helped
