This uniform is an important series introduced by All Nippon Airways (ANA) after adopting a foreign designer for the first time, with its most notable feature being the appointment of internationally renowned designer Prabal Gurung. This marked a key turning point in ANA’s move toward a more globalized image and a modernized service identity. A distinctive design element is the subtle integration of ANA’s corporate identity “Blue Line” on the back of the jacket and skirt, reinforcing brand recognition in a refined and symbolic manner while also evoking the imagery of the sky and the airline’s commitment to professional service.

The overall appearance presents a highly典型 professional business suit aesthetic, characterized by a rational, clean, and streamlined visual impression. Rather than pursuing dramatic or decorative styling, the design centers on a standardized tailoring structure with restrained yet clear blue accents, creating a highly recognizable and internationally appropriate airline service image. The first impression conveyed is one of reliability, discipline, and well-trained professionalism.

The upper garment consists of a light grey fitted blazer with precise tailoring, structured shoulders, and a firm silhouette that emphasizes formality and order. The single-breasted design with centrally aligned buttons creates a symmetrical and uniform-like sense of visual discipline. The slightly curved hemline softens the transition from waist to hips, making the silhouette appear more refined and elegant compared to conventional rigid business suits. The ANA blue line detail on the back subtly enhances modernity and brand identity without disrupting the overall composed color scheme.

Underneath, a bright blue shirt serves as a key visual focal point. Against the grey base, the vivid blue introduces a sense of clarity, energy, and freshness, symbolizing the sky and aviation while also giving the uniform a younger and more dynamic impression. The exposed collar adds layering to the upper body, effectively preventing the all-grey suit from appearing monotonous.

Around the neck, a blue-and-white scarf is styled with a side knot, balancing elegance and recognizability. The scarf pattern typically features clean linear or wave-like motifs, aligning with the overall rational and professional design language. At the same time, it naturally draws visual attention toward the face, enhancing the wearer’s overall presence and neat appearance.

The lower garment is a dark grey narrow skirt, with a length around knee to slightly above knee, conforming to standard formal airline uniform proportions. The straight silhouette maintains a clean and efficient visual line, consistent with the blazer’s business-uniform language. The tonal contrast between light grey and dark grey adds depth while preserving a cohesive and highly professional overall image.

In terms of accessories, the small gold name badge on the chest functions as a subtle yet clear role identifier without interrupting the minimalist aesthetic. Paired with dark stockings and black mid-heel shoes, the complete ensemble projects a polished, disciplined, meticulous, and highly professional service image befitting a global full-service carrier.
