When I first started instructing I wore a tie, then after a while I realised that the students don't, the club owners don't, so why should I ?!
Now it depends on the season, in summer what is wrong with an open neck pilot shirt and black or dark blue trousers? In winter I wear a tie just to keep my neck warm with a pilot jumper!
Even in the PPL industry we wear a 'uniform' of some sort.
I believe that there is a need to look smart but this does NOT mean that a tie must be worn.
He's not often wrong, but BEagle's right again !!

Hmm. just read CB's comments.........
Nice crisp white blouse, black lacy bra, black short skirt with black seamed stockings and suspenders (with company logo of course!)...............now that WOULD be nice
But hey, never mind me, what would the female instructors wear?
