They’re not appropriate runway attire.
TV author and producer Gary Janetti, who has worked on hit shows including “Will & Grace” and “Family Guy,” divided viewers online after railing against flyers who wear sweatpants on a plane.
The small-screen scribe offered his sartorial critique while promoting his latest travel book “We Are Experiencing a Slight Delay” on ABC News.
“It looks like on the airport, too many persons are on day five of the flu, like they’ve been in bed for per week,” declared Janetti when asked whether wearing the casual garments inflight was socially acceptable.
“How comfortable do you might have to be to get on a three-hour flight?” continued Janetti, whose husband is stylist and TV personality Brad Goreski. “You can have pants that button or a shirt that buttons.”
The one exception, per the inflight fashionista, is passengers on an overnight flight, where they should bed down or be comfortable for prolonged periods.
That’s when ABC News interviewer Liney Davis admitted that she, too, was guilty of sporting casual wear on flights, declaring: “That’s so me.”
Many TikTok commenters were quick to tear Janetti for his fashion policing, with one writing, “I should be comfortable on a flight & ppl have to mind their very own business.”
“Why does he care,” said one other indignant viewer.
“He can tell me what to wear when he pays for my flights,” a 3rd scoffed.
Nonetheless, others sided with high-flying Janetti.
“People haven’t any class anymore,” lamented one fan.
One other declared, “I agree … Dress up and carry on!!”
Coincidentally, most airlines have either a written or unwritten dress code and won’t hesitate to kick violators off the plane — a trend that has stirred up some controversy previously.
Nonetheless, the inappropriate attire rules generally apply to skimpy and revealing clothing relatively than sweats.
