3. Iconic Uniforms: Celebrating British Airways’ Tradition of Excellence

Over the years, British Airways has developed iconic uniforms that embody its tradition of excellence. From the bright scarlet of the 1920s to the currently iconic deep blue, airlines staffers have been setting the example for fashionable, yet smart airline fashion.

These carefully put-together, iconic uniforms have become iconic:

1920s: Wearing the famous deep red, which is regarded as a symbol of loyalty, staff attending to the pilots looked as glamorous as any air stewardess coming in contact with passengers.
1930s: The bright red was replaced with a more subdued brown, which was tailored with a fashion-forward sense of style, that included overalls and peaked caps.
1940s: The ‘Umbrella’ uniform was introduced: grey gabardine and navy berets – perfect for the patriotic wartime effort.
2014: British Airways has returned to the classic navy blue, with well-tailored trousers and skirts.

The contemporary portrayal of British Airways’ uniforms – smart yet chic – has become an iconic fashion statement in the airline industry. British Airways staff have a long and well-documented history of wearing uniforms that are fashionable and tailored to the era, whilst also looking smart and eye-catching. They look good and feel good!

The new uniforms may appear different at first, but with the unified colour scheme and relaxed lines, it marks a new chapter of modern fashion in the skies with British Airways.
