Have to say this is definitely a step up from the current 'charity marching band look' - all they need are batons and instruments.
The buttons on the female jacket are hideous. Could only possibly be paired up with giant lorikeet earings.
The mens suit is too casual, needs a tie for one. Its almost low cost style...
The hat is a step in the right direction, but its WAY too high and can be worn the wrong way too easily.
The pants have too much of a 'nana' cut, dont like the creases at the front.
the colours i dont mind so much - looks a bit dull perhaps out and about in the terminal, but with the new cabins it should compliment it quite well i think...

OH dear dear dear.......anyone else think od Uma Thurman in Gatica?
The femail colour looks like a white top after gein washed with the colours...and yeah no ties!
Me thinks the designers have been smoking the local "product"

I quite like the cut of the ladies' jacket - as someone has said it's definitely better than the current one!
The men's suit though......what's so special about it? I mean, it looks like any suit that anybody could wear.... Doesn't really look like a uniform, I see lots of passengers who wear something similar on board , it's just like any casual suit - and not even a tie? mmmmmm...... Not so sure about that either.

Normally I'm a fan of hats but that one is SOOOOOOOOO wrong!!!
The colours would be okay if they had a bright 'wow' scarf & tie to go with... perhaps a nice aqua blue... though it is a bit better than the 'marching band' look.... =)

Uniforms aren't meant to look nice or be flattering. they are there to save u deciding what to wear every day, and for the pax to identify who is staff and who is not!!!!! Get over it

Havent you heard the phrase that if you look good then you feel good.When you feel good then you feel more confident in doing your job.Having seen the picture then that Hat makes the bowler hat look good.
What is wrong with the current AZ uniform? The short Black Skirt of the Winter Uniform looks great especially on women that have long legs.I think the summer dress isnt too bad either but prefer the winter one.The blazer isnt one of the better ones but far better than what they are thinking of changing too.
Think its the worst one Ive seen so far.Why are all the airlines going back to 1960 type uniforms(especially in the hats)Agree they look like they are in Thunderbirds.

EmmaB, enough about trousers already!!!
Maybe it's just a 'sneak peek' and we'll see the full uniform soon. I can't see an airline in Aus/NZ not having a skirt option for summer....

The 'wardrobe' option is a good move, though I'm not sure I like the jacket (top?) and skirt being different colours. The Air NZ media section on their web site has more pictures...

To all NZ crew:
I think your new uniform is gorgeous.....
Much better than that 80's number you wore before.
The new one is beautiful, very relaxed, just lovely.....
The male uniform without the tie is so cool... i would love to wear it....
There is so much crap floating around various forums about your new togs....don't take any notice.... the new kit is great... will look brilliant onboard with the new a/c interiors....
SUBTLE AND CALMING....

The small photo given as a means of looking at the new uniforms did not do them justice....try:
http://www.airnz.co.nz/aboutus/media...orm_photos.htm
I will have to wear the new uniform and am reserving my thoughts until I see it and wear it.
From the photos, I do think it is elegant and the hat is optional and therefore can't see it being worn all that much.
Although as I am a CSA I do not have the hat option thank goodness.

Ermmm.....I like the girls uniform. The Air NZ website pix does it much more justice.
Looks like they couldn't have been bothered with the guys uniform though.
Just a quick question though.......The Air NZ website media release goes on about how mauri influenced the uniform is. Now I am far from an expert in mauri matters but this uniform looks about as un-mauri as you could get!

hahahaha.....how unfortunate!!!!
However, to correct Jetteson...ACTUALLY, Uniforms are meant to provide an image of the company! You wear an orange t-shirt and grey combats because you work for a sleek casual lowfares company and your uniform reflects that, I wear a pinstripe suit and tie which has a bit of flair so as to give a clean cut professional, business image with style....Air New Zealands uniform seems to suggest that its an airline run by Frigit nuns!!!!
