This version represents the casual duty (or light cabin duty) configuration within Croatia Airlines’ new uniform system and forms part of the overall “Capsule Wardrobe” concept. The system is designed to allow cabin crew to flexibly combine different garments according to flight types and operational scenarios, while maintaining a consistent brand visual identity and professional image.

Structurally, this configuration centers on a knit top paired with a deep navy skirt. Compared to the formal dress uniform, it places greater emphasis on comfort and ease of movement. The top features a short-sleeved knit design with a V-neck layered over a shirt collar and scarf, balancing a neat appearance with the practical requirements of long hours of cabin service. The silhouette is slightly relaxed yet remains clean and structured, enabling greater flexibility during service, walking, and onboard operational tasks, in line with the modern airline uniform philosophy of “function-first” design.

Visually, the most distinctive element is the light blue geometric color-block pattern on the knit top. These details directly echo the airline’s updated brand visual language, transforming the uniform into an extension of the broader brand identity system rather than merely a garment. The deep navy base color continues the core palette of the overall uniform series, symbolizing professionalism, reliability, and authority, while the light blue accents introduce a contemporary and lighter visual rhythm consistent with the colors used in the new logo and aircraft livery.

Accessory design also follows the key characteristics of the new uniform program. The newly introduced hat for female crew is retained in this look, enhancing formality and visual coherence across different uniform variations. Red high heels serve as a distinctive brand color highlight, replacing traditional black footwear and creating a strong yet elegant visual contrast that increases recognizability. Meanwhile, the airline’s signature scarf remains a standard accessory, continuing the iconic red, white, grey, and blue checker motif that represents the brand’s visual heritage and ensures continuity between the old and new identity.

From an overall uniform strategy perspective, this knit-and-skirt combination exemplifies the modern function-oriented design philosophy emphasized by designer Martina Vrdoljak Ranilović. While preserving the elegant professional image traditionally associated with cabin crew, it more closely responds to the practical needs of the contemporary aviation environment. Such a multi-layered uniform system not only improves durability and long-term usability, but also aligns with the airline’s three core directions during fleet modernization and brand transformation: sustainability, functionality, and visual consistency.
