British Airways bosses apologise for telling cabin crew what bras to wear under ... trends now

British Airways bosses have apologised for telling cabin crew members what bras to wear under new 'transparent' uniforms which led to comments from passengers. 

The see-through blouses were issued as part of a new uniform, unveiled earlier this year, designed to 'take the airline into the next chapter' and for a non-binary crew. 

Last year BA relaxed the rules around its strict uniform policy and went gender-neutral to allow male pilots and crew to wear make-up and carry handbags. 

Although the new uniforms were gendered, BA's policy now allows staff who identify as a certain gender to wear that clothing. 

BA heralded the launch as 'marking a new era' for the airline, but now some of its female staff have hit out at the 'cheap' look of the uniform, while others have described the uniforms as 'deliberately androgynous'. 

The new uniforms were tested in secret trials last year and finally launched across its workforce in October.
