Virgin Atlantic launches new gender neutral uniform

Virgin Atlantic is to allow its flight crew to decide whether to wear its famous red uniforms or ditch them for gender-neutral trouser suits.

The airline on Wednesday updated its “gender identity” policy to remove the requirement for women to wear skirts and men to wear trousers.

The new uniforms, launched as part of Virgin’s “Be Yourself” agenda, have been designed by Vivienne Westwood and backed by TV star and LGBTQ+ campaigner Michelle Visage.
