Clothing question

[piplover]

Hello!  *Waves*

I have a quick question.  I don't really know what to wear on the airplane over to England.  I was thinking jeans and a long sleeved shirt, with a jacket just in case, but I'm not sure.  Any suggestions?  I'm still debating bringing my cane, but I think that may just be stubbornness on my part.  I know that I always have trouble after sitting still for a long period, even if it's just at the movie theater, but I hate walking with it!  Plus, I'm going to basically have to RUN to catch my connect to London from New York, since my flight lands at 9:45 and my connect departs at 10:30. MEEP!  Cutting it kind of close, airlines!

Anyway, taking all that into account, I don't want to look like a typical American yokal when I arrive in London, so any suggestions?  

This is my wardrobe that I'm bringing so far, by the way:

Two sweaters
Two dresses, both light cotton and spring-ish
A skirt
Two tank tops
One blouse
One pair jeans
A black, very warm hoodie that's more dressier than it sounds

And of course underwear, socks and three pairs of shoes.  *looks shifty*  What?  I have boots with a 3 inch heel, a pair of black flats, and a pair of trainers for regular walking around.  I'm going to wear my brown flats on the plane, since I can slip those off and on easier than my trainers.  And yes, I must have one black and one brown pair.

Sooo.... Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

The footwear sounds perfect to me, as does the rest of the clothes list.

Here's what I wore on my flight to LAX in the summer:

- jeans (comfy, slightly looser fitting)
- t-shirt
- zip-up hoodie
- thin cotton scarf

I reckon layering is what you need, and the scarf is good for keeping a draught off your neck (I often get a sore, stiff neck with draughts!). I really struggle with the A/C!

Oh, if you have a light rain coat or umbrella I'd recommend bringing it! I love England and its weather, and get very defensive when people claim that our weather is bad, but even I can admit that there's a high chance of rain on your trip!

Thank you! I will bring an umbrella, and I think I'll wear my black fleece rather than pack it. I can also wear a scarf, I never thought of that! Spring is hard enough to dress for, with it being warm one day and cold the next, let alone when you travel!
