liking that. Looks good. The Mens one looks really stylish and smart. The Womens one looks very sleek and stylish. I think the uniform does alot for VS CC. I get in trouble with the missus if I pay too much attention at the airport lol
We were just talking about this today, as in when we were going to see the new uniforms.

The trial starts today so there will be mix'n'match across flights with some crew in new and some with the current styles so no guarantee that anyones flight will see the new style yet.

Looking at the pictures Checkin and Clubhouse staff are wearing it too, so it will probably get the most notice on the ground as most people on every flight have to pass through Checkin.
I'll keep my eyes open at DTCI and in the CH as well as in the Air.

NICE. Do you reckon you might be able to get a pic? or are they not allowed to pose for pics?

I'll give it a try.
There's no harm in asking.
And maybe they would like to have their photo taken with me

Just a reminder, to post any pictures of staff (in any role) on here requires their express permission and understanding that it will go on V-Flyer.

Thanks for the reminder Darren.
I will make sure to mention v-flyer if I am lucky enough to get permission to take a picture with member of VS staff.

On a recent return from DXB the welcome on board from the CSM stated that pax would see 2 styles of uniform on board as they were trialling them. I didn't have the opportunity to ask the CCMs wearing the new uniform if they liked them.

Of course, I thought I should have added that into my post afterwards.

Thanks Slinky y) y)
My gut reaction is, whilst stylish, not at all practical - no doubt those who will be trialling it will be the proof of the pudding

I really don't like that waiters waistcoat... The rest look acceptable.

Agreed. Looks like something Les Dawson wore in the 70's.

Don't like the neckline of the female cabin crew uniforms. It seems fussy and impractical. I'm not keen on the uniforms generally but one would really need to see them on and how well they fit in at work.

Really? I think they look amazing but you are right have to see in the flesh
