Back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, flight attendants weren’t just pouring coffee at 30,000 feet, they were apparently style icons too. Uniforms ranged from bright miniskirts to full-on disco jumpsuits, which honestly looked better under a mirror ball than on an airplane aisle.

Fun fact: some airlines in the 70s had attendants wear hot pants and go-go boots (because nothing says “safety regulations” like glitter and polyester). Others leaned into space-age vibes with silver fabric and oversized hats, like they were auditioning for Star Trek.

Before sweatpants and neck pillows took over air travel, this was the era of sky-high fashion. And yes, it was a lot of polyester. A lot.
