We’ve got the best hospitality uniforms for your staff here at Sharper Uniforms. We love learning about different types of uniforms. The Museum of Flight in Seattle is opening their “Style in the Aisle” exhibit, and we thought we’d take a look at flight attendant uniforms over the years. This exhibit takes us from the first flight attendants in the 1930s, through the brightly-colored 1960s and 1970s, and right up into today. Let’s see how much has changed in this unique uniform market.

• In the 1930s, uniforms were plain gray suits that actually resembled nurses’ uniforms.
• Uniforms changed with the times in the 1940s and the women’s clothing was a little more fashion forward.
• By 1966, the skirts on flight attendants’ uniforms was a little shorter than it was before—sitting right around the knee.
• Later on in the 1960s, the flight attendants’ uniforms were downright mod. The pieces were a selection of bright, solid colors. In many cases, the colors were inspired by the flight’s destination—green, Pacific blue, and canyon red.
• The 1970s were similar. The collection that stands out to us the most is the American Field Flowers Collection. (If you flew in the 70s, you remember this uniform.)
• We should also mention that hemlines got even shorter on the attendants’ uniforms throughout the 1970s.
• Today, flight attendant uniforms are very much like the hospitality uniforms you’ll find here at Sharper Uniforms—crisp, neat, modest, and attractive.

We have the uniforms here at Sharper Uniforms to make your staff look their best. This is one of the most important factors in creating an atmosphere of good hospitality. In our quest to inspire you and your staff, we found some quotes about hospitality that are truly amazing. We hope you enjoy them!

“Hospitality is making your guests feel at home, even though you wish they were” – Anonymous (Be kind to all of your guest and customers… no matter who they are.)

“Who practices hospitality entertains God himself” – Proverb

“Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling” – The Bible

“It is a sin against hospitality, to open your doors and darken your countenance” – Proverb

“The mother must set the example in holding out the shrine as the heart of the house hold! She must enforce discipline over the children in personal cleanliness in humility and hospitality, in good manners and acts of service.” – Sri Sathya Sai Baba

These are just a few of the hospitality quotes that inspire us. We encourage you to share these with your staff and anyone else you think might benefit from a little bit of encouragement. Good hospitality starts with the great uniforms here at Sharper Uniforms, and it ends with the positive attitude of your staff!
