Not sure if it was connected but I was wearing a pair of Polo Chinos and a Rodd & Gun short sleeve shirt.

One day I'll find out what these Chino things are that simongr wears.

I am in bare feet at every opportunity - I put my shoes and socks on when I arrive at work, and take them off to drive home. My wife hates it when I go shopping in bare feet. However, I always wear shoes when flying (of course they come off in the plane). For safety I believe some form of footwear should be compulsory when walking around an airport. I mean, for guys to take a leak in bare feet isn't a great experience, particularly when you stand on those stainless steel rods!!!

I once flew first class and was highly delighted when a georgeous young lady stood up and changed out of here PJ into something suitable for arrival in full view. I think most others were still asleep. I didn't object.

Option 4 could also be considered for ease and convenience at secondary security screening (SSS)

Every time I have flown with Qantas there has been a pair of socks in the complimentary toiletries bag - perhaps they should do more to encourage people to put them on.

The thought of walking into an aeroplane loo and standing on that floor in only bare feet is absolutely revolting!

I always wear dark designer jeans - to guard against the event of a cabernet sauvignon spill during turbulence, a cotton polo and I also keep a beautiful shirt in my carry-on to change into prior to landing.

I have a theory that the better dressed I am, the more likely I am to meet Mr Right in one of the bars at Changi, and then naturally we find out that we're on the same flight.....but I suspect that only happens in the movies.

Chinos are the corporate businessmans surrogate for the suit when he travels or goes on holidays.

 

[simongr]

I have 4 pairs...

 

[QueenCaroline]

pauly7 has it right - there's definitely a correlation between chinos and the age of the wearer. It's because the older people get the more ridiculous they look in jeans (especially hipsters).

Women, on the other hand seem to give up jeans in favour of those hideous, baggy, elastic waisted slacks. Chinos are chic compared to those.

Might have something to do with background - with a father who was in the air force for 35 years - Chinos were standard clothing for me from the age of about 25 and I am not over 40

 

[Shano]

Put me down as another chino's wearing under 40.

As mentioned they are versatile attire for business travel, particularly when doing a hand luggage only challenge

 

[oz_mark]

I began wearing Chinos since well before I was 40.

Mind you, I am a bit over them now, but that doesn't stop me wearing them..

 

[maninblack]

By the way. If you like your Chinos, Bill Khakis are the best around, thoroughly recommended. You can get them in the US or mail order, Many different cuts and fabric weights.

I've seen enough stains/messes/puddles in the loos on planes to ensure I definitely put my shoes back on before visiting the loo, or use the socks provided in the premium cabins. Eww!

Mr Right may not exist at the bars in Changi. The Airport lounges may provide some chance of meeting Mr Right, but you really have to wade through Mr "I'm a very Important Business Man", Mr "My wife is at home, so I'm free to play" and Mr "There are 45 different elite cards on my backpack. Check them out". Maybe waiting at the bars is the better option
