With the easing of traditional values over the last thirty or forty years, many dress codes have changed to the point of being non-existent. For example, thirty or forty years ago, no one would have gone to see their bank manager in less than their Sunday best and no one would have flown in less than acceptable clothing. All that has gone by the by. So, what to wear on a plane, you may ask.

Well, people used to get on a plane in business-appropriate clothing, stuff that would not look out of place in an office, although many people also wore jeans and a t-shirt if they were going on holiday. These days, most people fly in a pair of jeans or jogging pants and a t-shirt no matter where they are going. This lessening of respect is a good thing in some ways, but as usual some people have to take it to extremes. Have you ever seen people flying in their night wear? Some people try it.

It is important to be able to be at ease on a plane, particularly if it is a long flight, although if business is at the other end it is prudent to take a change of clothing in an over night bag so that you can change in the airport before continuing your journey.

The perfect clothing for flying (long distance) is loose fitting, soft, comfortable clothing. But there are two things you should be conscious of if you are the sort who goes to extremes.

Firstly, you will never, ever be considered for an up-grade, if your attire does not fit in with the class you want to be up-graded to. If you are dressed in a t-shirt, jogging pants and trainers, do not think that you have a hope in a thunder storm of getting into business class. Secondly, have some respect for your fellow passengers. Not everybody wants to sit next to a scruff bag or a man in his pyjamas or boxer shorts.

Another aspect to consider is security. Does the alarm go off every time you are screened? Well, maybe you should do something about it. All right, the security staff ask you to take off all jewellery, but is there other metal in your garments?

Some collars have metal stiffeners as do many shoes. Belts nearly always have a metal buckle. Are you wearing cuff links? A hair slide? Bras and some other under garments can have wire in them. Jeans and many other casual trousers and skirts have metal zips, rivets or fasteners. You can help speed things up for everyone, if you try to wear clothes that will not hinder your progress through security.

If you keep these simple suggestions in mind when you go flying you will make the job of the security staff simpler and speed up your general progress to your seat. If you think about your fellow passengers with respect and remember about up-grades. You might be the only one on board who is fitting to up-grade in these times of lenient social dress etiquette.

Online shopping over the Internet has made lingerie shopping much more private and convenient. I love having the option of shopping for lingerie late at night in my pajamas. For it's late at night that my thoughts turn to lingerie and I enjoy being able to shop when the stores are closed.

Not only do you get the advantage of shopping in privacy when buying lingerie online, you also a much better selection than you would in the local stores. You can also find many more types of fetish and risque' lingerie onine than you ever could shopping at the local specialty stores.

You will want to be sure and protect yourself from credit card fraud and identity theft when buying online by following some simple guidelines. Always make sure you buy from a reputable seller like Amazon.com. Amazon has an enormous selection of women's lingerie styles and sizes to choose from. Amazon also has an extremely secure checkout system that will guard your personal information and credit card number.

Ebay is also a very safe and secure marketplace to buy all types of lingerie. You get full buyer protection from eBay because eBay will give you a full refund if you don't recieve your item or it's not as described in the product listing. You can save money buying plus size lingerie on eBay and almost every eBay seller will refund or exchange an item you are not satisfied with.

It's also a good idea to have a credit card with a very low limit that you only use for purchasing online. If the card number is stolen at least the charges will be minimal. I also track the credit card I use for online purchases using my banks website. This way I can see if there are any unknown purchases being charged to that credit card.

There are some disadvantages when purchasing lingerie online. The most obvious is that you can't try it on before the lingerie. Then again, many stores won't let you try on lingerie in the store either. It can also take a bit more effort to return an item that you purchased online.

By and large the benefits of buying lingerie online outweigh downsides of buying online. Simply the fact that you get great privacy and a larger selection swing things in favor of buying online. If you remember to buy from reputable sellers that have buyer protection policies and a secure ordering system you will be just fine buying online.

One final piece of advice concerning using sizing charts when purchasing lingerie online. If you buy from the same lingerie supplier more than once you will be able to guage sizes better from the pieces you purchased previously. Becoming a repeat customer really helps you with sizing on future purchases.

Going to the local mall or lingerie shop to purchase your lingerie is a thing of the past. You no longer have to be embarrased by having the person shopping next to you checking out your tastes in lingerie. Buying your lingerie online is truly the most private and convenient way to shop for lingerie.
