Sis, let’s talk about Spirit Airlines, because if they weren’t already a hot topic, their new dress code policy just turned up the heat. For some of us, Spirit was already… debatable. And now, with this controversial move released in January 2025, it might just be the last straw for some travelers.
But let’s keep it real—Spirit has always been a WIN for those who know how to play the game. For my budget-conscious queens and super-savvy jetsetters, Spirit can be a lifesaver if you know the rules. So, before we dive into this dress code situation, let me remind you: Spirit is still your go-to when you’re trying to do the most with the least. Now, let’s get into this new dress code policy, how it might affect you, and some insider tips to help you finesse your next flight—even with all the noise.
The Tea on Spirit’s New Dress Code Policy
Here’s the headline: Spirit Airlines has just updated their dress code policy and now reserve the right to deny boarding if your outfit is deemed “offensive” or “inappropriate.”
Now, I know what you’re thinking: What exactly does ‘offensive’ mean? That’s the million-dollar question, because it’s not like they gave us a checklist of what’s okay and what’s not. This leaves a lot of room for interpretation—and let’s be real, interpretation can sometimes lead to issues with discrimination or censorship. So, how do we navigate this?
My advice? 👉 Keep it cute, comfy, and neutral. Think cozy athleisure, casual chic, or your go-to travel fit that doesn’t make anybody side-eye you at the gate. Avoid overpowering fragrances or skipping deodorant...heck, take a bath! And, if you've got tattoos, consider covering anything that might be misinterpreted until you're seated. Not because you owe them anything, but because we’re not letting anyone block us from getting to our destination.
Stay fly, sis—and remember, no dress code, policy, or baggage fee is stopping us from living our best travel lives! This is Alexis “Lex” Harper, reporting live for Girl Let’s Go’s Word on the Beach!
