The "airport theory" suggests that people dress up more when going to the airport to make a good first impression on fellow travelers, a phenomenon observed and discussed on platforms like TikTok. However, etiquette expert Diane Gottsman argues that while dressing up can boost one's confidence, the primary reason for dressing well at airports should be comfort and practicality due to the often stressful and unpredictable nature of air travel. She emphasizes that while it's fine to dress up if it makes one feel good, the focus should be on wearing comfortable clothes and shoes, especially considering potential delays or the need to move quickly through the airport. Gottsman also notes that the notion of dressing to impress others at the airport might be overstated, as most people are more concerned with their own travel logistics than judging others' outfits.
