Flying High Life in the Sky
Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm Zarina and I'm a flight attendant. I'm from Kazakhstan,
but I fly all over the world. I love travelling!
Dress to Impress
Today's post is all about uniforms. You've probably noticed, at the airport, that all the flight attendants
look very glamorous. It's part of the job, but it's not easy - especially after an eleven-hour flight! We
have to make sure our hair is neat and tidy and, for women, that our make-up is fresh and bright. But
the biggest part of our appearance is our uniform.
Every airline has got a different uniform. Usually, male flight attendants wear a suit and tie and females
like me wear a skirt and shirt. However, sometimes we wear a dress or shirt and trousers. We often
have hats and scarves, too. It may surprise you, but a lot of flight attendant uniforms are
designed by famous fashion designers, which is why they look so stylish!
My uniform is nothing special - just a white shirt, blue skirt and jacket and a pink
scarf. I love it! The material is soft and strong, and I never have to think about what
to wear to work. Some airlines have uniforms that are based on the culture of their
country. For example, the flight attendants at Thai Airways wear traditional Thai
costumes. They look like long silk dresses, and all the women have a purple
flower on their shoulder. They look beautiful!
Our uniforms are fashionable and comfortable but most of all they show
everyone we see which airline we work for. That's why we always have to
look our best-we're like walking adverts!
