wmadden+FollowWhy You Should Skip Leggings on FlightsDid you know your go-to travel leggings could actually be risky on a plane?

The FAA and flight attendants recommend loose cotton, denim, or wool instead—way safer if things go sideways. It’s not just leggings, either: any synthetic clothes can be a hazard.
