With its new dress code, the United Kingdom-based airline Virgin Atlantic is setting a new ground by eliminating gender disparities. The airline will now permit its men employees to wear skirts and female employees to wear pants in honour of the ‘individuality’ of its crew members.
In other words, they will be free to wear anything they choose from the uniform options of the airline to define their personalities.
