How to put it together
- 1
Step into your olive green flight suit, romper, or dress and zip it up to your preferred height.
- 2
Attach the interchangeable name patches (such as Maverick or Goose) and military insignia to the chest and sleeves using the hook-and-loop fasteners or safety pins.
- 3
Slip the silver ball-chain dog tags around your neck so they rest visibly over the collar or zipper opening.
- 4
Lace up your black combat boots tightly, tucking the hem of the jumpsuit legs into the tops of the boots if wearing a full-length suit.
- 5
Put on your classic wire-framed aviator sunglasses to complete the signature pilot aesthetic.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup clean and natural with a touch of bronzer for a sun-kissed, outdoor-ready glow. Style your hair in a sleek, high ponytail, a messy bun, or classic beachy waves that fit comfortably under a pilot helmet or flight cap.
