An airline pilot's dress code as you see today took its origins from the late Pan American World Airways, better known as Pan Am. The airline was utilizing flying boats in the 1930's. They felt that the traditional World War I-inspired flight crew clothing at the time did not mesh, so they had the pilots dressed in naval officer uniforms. Since then, most airlines around the world follow that style.

The attire is typically a black (or navy blue) single- or double-breasted blazer, matching dress pants, braid loops on the sleeves and gold buttons, and would also wear a white officer-style cap with the airline's logo. Without the jacket, it is a white dress shirt (either short- or long-sleeved) and black or dark tie, with rank shoulder boards.

With military and often with commercial pilots a uniform. It's also best to have warm winter clothing, as the aircraft invariably fly at high altitudes where it's cold.
