For the safety of the passengers, it is integral members of the crew can be identified quickly. However, company uniform policies often contribute to job dissatisfaction, lower performance metrics, and attrition. This is especially common when the employee doesn't find the uniform attractive, comfortable, or grows bored with its conformity. Therefore, most airlines have put concerted efforts into redesigning their uniforms for greater comfort with a wider variety of options. So whether you prefer to wear a uniform or not, it is a requirement for the job. Familiarize yourself with their clothing line, and the efforts they've put into trying to make their uniforms stand apart. Discuss with the interviewer your experience working in uniform and your willingness to abide by the dress code within Virgin Atlantic.

"Uniforms are very important in this industry so, yes, I am comfortable with this policy. And I love Vivienne Westwood uniforms!"

"The 'Viv' is our iconic Vivienne Westwood uniform, and we wear it with incredible pride. After all, there's nothing like a splash of red to make you out from the crowd. From the moment you put on our Vivienne Westwood uniform, you transform into a sky superhero - with the power to make a difference to each customer on every flight. Times have changed since our glamourous beginnings in 1984, and while we still do things in true Virgin Atlantic style, our uniform guidelines have been designed to offer increased comfort and more choice on how you want to express yourself at work."

At Virgin Atlantic, a huge part of their branding and identity is their hue of red. In fact, one of their core values is 'Think Red'. "When we think red, we connect to the true spirit of Virgin. Innovation, passion, positivity. From day one, we've hunted new ways to champion our customers, changing the game with style and a smile. We don't just push boundaries, we break through them. We are our future and we think about that in every decision we take. Red is us at our blazing best. You love to go the extra mile, above and beyond what our customers expect. You see things from different perspectives and are always open to change. You are curious and determined to find better ways to do things. You have a positive attitude, actively seeking to learn something new every day." So the fact that their uniforms are primarily red (and purple) is part of what distinguishes their uniform from other airlines. Even though you'll likely be wearing their red uniform on the outside, they say, "help to keep us red on the inside."
