Adventurous Outfits, 1960s
In the 1960s, commercial flights were becoming more affordable and accessible to the everyday American, and airlines, knowing this little fact, were trying to appeal to as many potential customers as possible. One of the ways they tried to appeal to the masses was by changing up their uniforms.
Several airlines introduced skimpy uniforms for their flight crew members to wear. It was so bad that some airlines became famous for their “adventurous” outfits, but luckily, for some, the trend was over by the mid-1970s.
