Worse than feet on bulkheads

I’m gonna buy some tracksuit pants to wear, onboard & in public, for my next OS flight … so I might make it into this thread!

Gosh
These days you stick out if you are not wearing trackies or some form of athletic attire when going on a plane

I happened to be in a Uniqlo store today & bought mrmac a pair of slightly stretchy - I guess you'd call them jogging pants but nice non-crush material in a smart dark green. I think they'll do the trick for our next trip. Definitely not trakkie daks

After decades of travelling domestically in a suit and tie, my leisure travel, mostly international, is always in what makes me comfortable. (Always clean and tidy). Who cares what others think.

I guess if I was hoping for a.spontanious upgrade I might care more but that isn't going to happen given I have no allegiance to,or status with, any carrier.

[But I don't wear crocs or thongs - always comfortable runners - and my feet aren't on seats or bulkheads et al]

I really don't like to feel too out of place ... I don't like to feel a million eyes glaring at me.
Note that it's all about my perception of whether I'm not dressed appropriately, when I've thought I wasn't standing-out I paid absolutely zero attention to what anyone else was wearing & honestly can't recall any sort of pattern ... which is probably the reality of how little everyone else cares what I'm wearing.

The only time I've flown long-haul with a lie-flat bed, 8 years ago, I was wearing quite loose jeans and it was still pretty uncomfortable. When you're lying there for 4hrs begging for that 90mins of sleep that you'll hopefully eventually be afforded, you toss & turn a lot, so there's a lot of leg-strangling going on.

I don't recall any "no dag clothes" rules on entry to lounges I've seen in the last decade or two, although I guess for a while blokes weren't allowed to wear thongs ... so if everyone else is dressing like a dag too, that's good news for me!
There were "long pants & no trackies" rules in the 80's in whatever the name was for domestic Qantas Club back then ... on P-plates I remember driving to the airport & parking down the road a bit (ie. not paying for parking) & walking to the QF terminal to dream about flights and "we're here to meet his dad" lying to get into the Qantas Club for free food using some of the millionty guest-passes a school friends' dad used to have.
