Attention all passengers in the terminal!

I'm always mesmerized by what people wear in airports. Some people try  too hard to have the "it" look that they simply look ridiculous. Like the young black
woman who just walked by wearing medium washed denim  jeans with a matching denim jacket and a hot pink Juicy Couture shirt.  
All wrong.

There are several people in my terminal who are also wearing clothes  
that are incredibly too tight. I'm not hinting that everyone should  
dress up for flight or even incorporate formalwear into their travel  
cases. What I am saying, however, is that you can travel in comfort  
without sacrificing style and class.

Take for instance the middle aged white woman next to me. She's  
wearing wide legged black wool trousers, a casual white polo style  
shirt, with a black sweater artfully draped over her shoulders. Simple  
diamond studs in each ear, a beautiful David Yurman bracelet and  
matching ring, with an incredibly big diamond wedding ring. Her shoes  
are black and khaki quilted Chanel ballerina flats. Casual,  
comfortable, classy. Ages ready for business or pleasure where ever  
she goes.  And she's winning me over even more with her giant  
Longchamp tote bag. I don't know who she is, but she is totally going  
somewhere.

I'm always a fan of breaking "traditional fashion rules" - like  
wearing white after Labor Day for example. But it still needs to be  
done well. The tragic Asian woman with her too tight, too long, and  
too wrinkled white cotton skirt with her ill fitting blouse really  
should rethink her fashion making decisions.

I also like to mix and match patterns. Maybe a vertical stripe dress  
shirt with a diagonal repp stripe tie. But not a vertical stripe shirt  
with a diagonal stripe tie and a polka dot sweater vest. I kid you  
not. This shit is reality for some people, nightmares for the rest of  
us.

There's the new mother with her light blue and white stripe degrade  
skirt and complimentary blue knit top that looks absolutely amazing  
and ready for any travel delays she may face. And her stacked kitten  
heels with peep toe show that just because she gas a baby strapped to
her body doesn't mean her fashion fundamentals should be compromised.

Neck pillows are out. Especially the inflatable kind. It looks like a toilet
seat is stuck on your neck.

Zone One is now boarding. It's time to join by cocktail party in the sky.

Enjoy your day!
