]]>The uniforms have been designed by Vivienne Westwood and include options for pants, skirts, blazers, and ties. According to the new policy, crew members and front-line staff will also be able to wear optional make-up and have visible tattoos.
The policy is in response to research which found that allowing staff to embrace their individuality at work increases mental well-being by 49%, feelings of happiness by 65%, and creates a better experience for staff and customers by 24%.
“At Virgin Atlantic, we believe that everyone can take on the world, no matter who they are,” said Juha Jarvinen, Virgin Atlantic’s chief commercial officer. “That’s why it’s so important that we enable our people to embrace their individuality and be their true selves at work. It is for that reason that we want to allow our people to wear the uniform that best suits them and how they identify and ensure our customers are addressed by their preferred pronouns.”
Crew can choose to wear pronoun badges, and the airline’s ticket system will recognize passengers whose passports include gender-neutral gender markers.

The suits and silk scarfs are made by local brands. Underneath the suit, the flight attendants will wear white t-shirts instead of blouses. Denysenko mentioned that skirts and heels are a bad choice in case of an emergency landing in water and evacuation.
The company realizes that, despite the romanticizing of the flight attendant’s job, they realize it’s physically demanding and unnecessarily difficult for the ladies. Standing on their feet for 12 hours is not pleasant and often leaves long-term consequences.
The company has a plan to launch a new male crew uniform too. A light suit will replace a vest and they will wear a t-shirt instead of a shirt. They will also get Nike sneakers but in black.
The new uniform will be launched on October 22nd.
