Save the crop tops for Florida's beaches and keep your feet in your shoes as Spirit Airlines is cracking down on 'inadequate' clothing on its flights.
On Wednesday, the company quietly updated its contract of carriage for passengers, which includes updating its dress code for passengers flying the budget airline.
The new rule dictates that a guest 'shall not be permitted to board the aircraft' if they are 'barefoot or inadequately clothed.'
Among the examples of inappropriate travel outfits include: see-through clothing, exposed breasts, buttocks, or other private parts; lewd, obscene, or offensive clothing and tattoos.
The new regulation comes after multiple incidents of passengers being confronted over their attire.

...isn’t Spirit in bankruptcy proceedings, or do I have this one confused with another airline....jus’ askin’ .....
When the dress code improves, the conduct improves as well. If this improves calm and decorum on the plane, I’m for it. And yes, I fly Spirit when it is the cheapest nonstop on the route I’m taking.
I’ll never fly them again.
I only used them once and the first time was with a melanated lady who wanted to put a Caesar salad into the overhead compartment and then got angry when the crew cut her off at her third drink, and then cancelled my flight back the night before.
Never again.
You don’t have to sit with them, or have them slide over you, putting their fanny in your face. I look away and close my eyes.
This place is full of Karen’s. They like to tell others how to live as much as the liberals. They are offended by everything.
You don’t have to sit next to them or smell them. Lol I’m kidding and see your point but people need dress decently and be respectful of others.
Easy. Showing bare breasts, buttocks, buttock creases, genitals, or feet. Offensive body art and clothing adorned with foul language. No matter whether you are male or female. If I have to define foul language for you, you are in the wrong business. I used to fly a lot in the 60’s and every passenger on a flight dressed smartly and acted considerately of others. We were brought up that way. Where were you in the 60’s?
Re-regulate the airlines.
Bring back Pan Am.
Bring back cute stewardesses.
Raise fares.
Force the riff raff back to Greyhound.
Things have changed in many areas of life such as this.
Schools used to have dress codes. Girls wore dresses and boys wore nice shirts and pants. No blue jeans or t shirts or shorts.
People used to get dressed up to go to church.
People used to dress nicer in office jobs than they do now.
Is a MAGA hat considered offensive clothing?
BOOMER HERE - I can remember flying back in the 1960s and 70s. Men wore suits, women dresses, children in their Sunday best. People were friendly and had manners.
I stopped flying when airlines became Greyhounds in the sky.
Ban nail clippers and dental floss too.
another 2cents.. flying does feel like a cattle call. People push and shove to get on the plane because too many a holes bring 3 bags with them and need the overhead space. Start limiting carry ons, start using those metal boxes for the size. If it don't fit it goes into baggage. You get a purse and a small carryon. That must fit a certain size, go no go metal baggage size boxes at every gate.
raise your voice at anyone, you get a warning. 2nd time- you're off the flight.
no food on the 0lan3 other than pre packaged candy or crackers. No my tuna.fish sandwiches, cimchee, curry, onion salads, garlic knots, fish.
Just an egg in my mother.
I pilot a bizjet and our clients dress okay.
LOL, my first thought. Good luck. Shorts and flip-flops seem the norm.
True .... there’s always someone who has to make a statement that really is offensive. When I flew Frontier (as a pilot) we had a few folks who did wear offensive clothing and I just told them to go to the lav and turn the t-shirt inside out, or, just get off my plane. One wore a military t-shirt and some Karen got her knickers in a twist over it and I told her either shut up and sit down or I’ll throw her off MY plane. I get a standing-oh over that.
when I became a flight attendant in the 90s, I saw just about everything. Stinky barefoot hippie girls in bikini tops with bushy armpits going into Eugene, Oregon. Drunk bull riders of the NFR out of Las Vegas who never took off their hats, even while seated. (Oh, and professional *ahem* “showgirls” in strapless sequined ball gowns, 6-inch acrylic stilettos and fur coats we would pick up in Las Vegas and take to LA.) And the lobster-tan tourists in their Hilo Hattie shirts, board shorts and flip-flops we took from Honolulu and dropped in Denver, where it was 23 degrees and snowing.
And how many times did I have to stop a young mom before she took her barefoot child into the lavatory? “Think,” I would say, “Men stand up and pee in there during turbulence.”
IMO, they need to do the reverse of what they’ve been doing: charge for carry-ons larger than a bookbag or briefcase, and you get to send two bags free in the cargo.
