Top 5: Which Cabin Crew Has the Best Uniform?
Cabin crew uniforms in recent years have become iconic and highly represent the face of the airline because image is very important. Uniforms are diligently studied and tested to ensure they fulfill the task at hand, but uniforms are also instantly recognizable. Famous fashion designers are often hired to create the perfect look. Here we take a look at five of the best (and most distinctive!) cabin crew uniforms.
5 Emirates
The Emirates uniform in the photo above is classic and known primarily for the beige fabric and stripes with a hint of red but also for the famous red cap and white veil. It was launched in 2009 and unusually designed by a British uniform company, whereas most airlines opt for fashion designers. It was complicated because Emirates at the time had 23,000 cabin crew to dress.
They wanted a sharp, business-like look with sophistication and for the uniform to really stand out at the airport. The design team observed the cabin crew on the flight to New Zealand to really understand how the fabric had to be flexible yet sturdy to complete the crew’s tasks. They also understand that the uniform needs to be well received by the community. It was launched alongside the new Airbus A380 fleet and continues to be one of the most recognizable airline uniforms in the world.

Another classic cabin crew uniform – the Singapore Airlines uniform is central to hospitality and culture in Asia and hasn’t been changed since 1968, so something must be right! It was designed by Pierre Balmain and is an ethnic style ‘sarong kebaya’. The uniform that until now still represents the ‘Singapore Girl’ and is very iconic. Different colors signify seniority – the flight attendant wears a purple version, the lead flight attendant wears an emerald, and the head flight attendant wears a ruby. While the indigo version is used by inflight managers.

3 Atlantic Virgin
In 2014, Virgin Atlantic decided on an eco-friendly uniform made from fabric made from recycled plastic bottles. Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood designed a glamorous and stylish uniform inspired by French couture in the 1940s and with a nod to London’s Savile Row stitching. It is the epitome of chic, sporting a classic Westwood twist, and very popular with its cabin crew. Virgin Atlantic has always been at the forefront of uniform standards and have made changes to their policies on make-up, tattoos and women can wear trousers.

One of the most stylish and stunning cabin crew uniforms of all time – purposely launched at Paris Couture Week in 2017. This uniform was designed by Laurence Xu and combines traditional Chinese imagery with contemporary designs. The uniform combines the traditional Chinese ‘cheongsam’ dress with a modern western suit and features clouds, Chinese motifs and the mythical bird ‘roc’. The airline’s goal is to encourage international passengers and show that the region is modern and trendy.
