If you have ever sat on a plane, you must have noticed the air hostesses and their attire. Air hostesses always have to wear clean clothes and keep their hair and makeup on point. They need to look presentable and attractive. But among all these things, you must have noticed one more thing. That is, most air hostesses wear high heels with their uniforms. Have you ever thought about the reason behind this?
Common people often raise their questions on the social media platform Quora, and many times experienced people related to that question answer it. Recently, someone asked why flight attendants wear heels. Let’s know the reason behind it.
Many users have answered this on the social media platform. Their answers seem to be correct to a large extent. A user named William Wood said that mini skirts were quite famous in Pacific South West Airlines between 1966 and 1976. Heels had to be worn along with it. This was done so that the air hostesses could attract men to the airline so that more men book tickets with that airline company. In those days, men used to travel more due to business. Many other users also mentioned the same thing: air hostesses used to wear such clothes only to attract men.
According to the website of Skylark Institute, it depends on different airlines whether their flight attendants will wear heels or not. Girls have been made to wear high heels since ancient times so that heels match their formal uniform. Also, they look more presentable and elegant. They used to look taller, slimmer, and more stylish in heels. Gradually, companies realised how painful it is for women to stay in heels for a long time. Due to this, many companies made a rule that air hostesses will not wear heels.
According to the South China Morning Post website, a Chinese airline company named Air Travel allowed its air hostesses to travel without high heels to reduce their burden.
