Description
This version belongs to the “trouser configuration” within its modern uniform system, representing an important extension of the brand’s identity as it evolves toward greater functionality and contemporary workplace equality—while still maintaining its traditional visual foundations.
The overall palette remains centered on the iconic KLM Blue. The upper garment is a clearly structured Western-style jacket with sharp shoulders and a gently shaped waist that avoids emphasizing curves, continuing KLM’s consistent image of rationality, stability, and institutional professionalism. The white piping at the cuffs is retained as a subtle accent, providing a clean and precise visual finish within the monochromatic blue scheme.
Underneath, a white shirt is paired with the signature blue-and-orange scarf. Orange, as the symbolic color of the Dutch royal house, is deliberately confined to the accessory level—reinforcing national identity without disrupting the calm dominance of the brand’s blue tone. This reflects a highly mature and disciplined color strategy.
The lower half replaces the skirt with matching straight-cut trousers. The vertical lines elongate the silhouette, giving the overall look a more contemporary and streamlined proportion. The trouser design appears more neutral and function-oriented, better suited to long-haul operations and ground-service tasks. Compared to the classic poise of the skirt version, the trousers convey symbolic meanings of “professional efficiency × modern workplace equality.”
Notably, the footwear shifts to black flats or low heels, further emphasizing practicality and comfort over traditional femininity in aviation aesthetics. This design transition reflects a broader European trend in airline uniforms—moving from “elegance-first” toward a model that prioritizes “brand consistency × functional performance.”
