1. Introduction to Air Hostess Blouses

Why Blouses Matter in Aviation

Every air hostess wears a special blouse as part of her uniform. These blouses help passengers easily identify crew members. Airlines choose blouse designs carefully because they represent the company’s image. The right blouse must look professional, stay neat during long flights, and allow easy movement.

Different Blouses for Different Airlines

Not all air hostess blouses look the same! Each airline has unique styles:

• Some use bright colors like red or blue
• Others prefer classic white
• Sleeve lengths change based on airline rules
• Necklines vary from simple collars to elegant wraps
