Why do stewardesses wear stockings all year round? Is it really just to look good?

In everyone's inherent impression, flight attendants are extremely delicate, beautiful and decent women. They will wear uniform stockings in addition to uniforms during their work. Although stockings have become a fashion item worn by contemporary trends, they are highly sought after by contemporary women who love beauty, so many people think that the reason why stewardesses wear stockings all the year round is actually just to look good. But the fact is not so simple. There are several little-known reasons behind their wearing stockings.

First, it is the result of historical development. In fact, at the beginning, flight attendants didn't wear stockings and short skirts. Until the sixties and seventies, the economy developed, the mind gradually opened up, the feminist consciousness gradually awakened, the stewardess's clothes became bold and flamboyant, and the skirts became shorter and shorter. However, with the gradual normalization of aircraft, this mode of travel is no longer exclusive to high-end people, so professional and elegant style has become the first choice for airlines in various countries.

Secondly, it conforms to international etiquette norms. I'm sure you've noticed that most airlines' customized flight attendant uniforms are basically uniform short skirts. Short skirts and stockings are the basic international etiquette. Wearing stockings can also properly cover the leg defects such as uneven skin color and make the flight attendant's legs more beautiful under the premise of unity. Therefore, the combination of short skirts and stockings is gradually adopted by airlines all over the world.

Third, it is to prevent exposure. The main job of flight attendants is to serve passengers on the plane. In this process, they often squat, bend over and raise their hands, and it is easy to take off their clothes when doing these actions. In order to prevent this from happening and damage the image of airlines, flight attendants will wear stockings, which can better serve passengers and avoid exposure problems.

Fourth, this is also a kind of respect for passengers. After all, if the stewardess just wears a short skirt uniform and doesn't wear stockings, she will take off her clothes during the service, which is obviously very impolite to the passengers. Although we pay attention to the freedom of dressing now, no one will criticize us for dressing like this in reality, but the stewardess represents the facade of the airline after all, and naturally needs to be considered more comprehensively. Short skirts with stockings, coupled with the good face of flight attendants, can give people a dignified and professional feeling and increase passengers' trust. After all, during the flight, the plane will face many unknown risks. In case of emergency, flight attendants are a great reassurance for passengers. At this time, professional flight attendants are often more able to calm people's hearts and increase passengers' self-confidence.
