British Airways reportedly told flight attendants what bras to wear

British Airways allegedly advised its female crew members to wear specific undergarments with their new sheer uniforms, but have since removed the recommendation. According to The Sun, the airline’s old instruction was updated after the new branded uniform was released. Previously, per the newspaper’s report, the British Airways requirement stated: “Undergarments should be plain white or nude, with no lace, patterns or writing.” The new British Airways uniforms, designed by Ozwald Boateng, were first announced in January. It wasn’t until September that the brand-new garments were handed out. Until then, the airline hadn’t made any changes to its uniforms in 20 years. Female crew members were supposedly feeling embarrassed due to the number of passengers who commented on their bra visibility. Now, the old dress code has been overturned. Speaking to The Independent, a spokesperson for British Airways detailed the requirement reversal. “We’ve removed a recommendation from our uniform guidelines and will continue to listen to our colleagues about what works best for them,” the representative proclaimed. This change comes after resistance by the flight attendants’ union.<br/>
