Clothing to wear for overnight flight

Wear what is comfortable for you. Don't worry about the fiber content. Take a jacket in case you can't find a blanket. Be sure to walk about every half hour to keep the blood flowing.

Hi Kathy,
I like to wear clothing that has some stretch to it, and is not restrictive. I prefer cotton, but that's just me- I don't do well with synthetics anyway.
Some people find their feet swell during a long flight, so you might want to consider that with your choice of shoes.
Hope you have a good flight!

Wear comfortable layers. It's probably hot when you get on, so don't board the plane wearing a coat and start sweating. Keep a fleece or warm sweater handy, the plane will cool off at altitude.

You're sleeping in your clothes, so wear something that is wrinkle free. Cotton isn't a good choice.

When you arrive, people around you in the airport, on the bus or train, and at the hotel are up and dressed. Think of looking presentable, if not great, when you arrive. Wearing pajamas or sweats isn't a good choice either.

Before landing, take your toiletries kit to the lav and clean up somewhat. You aren't going to be ready for a fashion show, think presentable.

Natural fibers won't melt like polyester. Emergencies where natural fibers would actually make a difference are so rare it's probably not worth planning around.

Attendants wear wool clothing, it doesn't wrinkle like cotton, it's breathable, tropical weight wool clothes won't make you suffer in warm weather and they perform better in an emergency. Attendants also fly for a living, so their chance of experiencing an emergency are much greater than the occasional traveler.

I travel in yoga pants that look very stylish - brand is Lululemon. I wear a t-shirt and a light sweater - layering. I can take the sweater off when too hot. I'm not worried about catching on fire, I'm thinking about comfort for travel and arrival.

The yoga pants have an soft waist band, so no binding. I skip the bottom undies(no riding up while sitting, sleeping) and wear a sport bra, so no metal sticking into me while trying to sleep. I'm thinking soft clothing.

The pants and sweater combination looks presentable upon arrival. It's not like I'm traveling in my pj's.

On my feet I usually wear a pair of Puma athletic style shoes. I see these all over Europe. Not that huge American tennis shoe, but stylish slim footwear.
I think I look sporty, but not in a sloppy way at all.

The air in airplanes, flying across the Atlantic Ocean at night (at 32,000 feet) is cold. I wear a wool sweater ("crew neck") over a long sleeve shirt - soft cotton material. And bring a jacket.

I usually always travel with a sportscoat. For my trip next week i'm wearing a polo, jeans (they're so comfy to me), comfy shoes.

I am traveling with only one carry on - we're backpacking through Europe. With that being the case, i'll have all access to my stuff if i need to. I always plan on it being cold, it usually always is.
