Style and Elegance: Delta Unveils New Distinct Uniform Collection

Delta Air Lines has unveiled a new uniform collection. The Distinctly Delta collection is more than a new uniform — it’s a brand statement of pride and purpose, designed with intention to help Delta people keep climbing. 

“There’s no better manifestation of the Delta brand than the Delta people who wear our uniform,” said Ranjan Goswami, S.V.P. of Customer Experience Design.

“Launching this collection represents a new era for Delta as we honor the past while designing a premium and timeless collection that leads us into our next 100 years.”   

Worn to fly – designed for Delta people with purpose 

From below the wing to the skies and beyond, Distinctly Delta is made up of four distinct collections produced by Lands’ End — each designed with intention, crafted with care and inspired by the voices of 65,000 Airport Customer Service, In-Flight and Technical Operations uniformed Delta employees.  

“It’s not just a uniform, it’s a symbol of who we are,” said Ekrem Dimbiloglu, Managing Director of Uniform and Onboard Brand Experience. “When our people put this uniform on, each should feel proud to say, ‘I am Delta’.”  

Every Distinctly Delta piece has been designed for comfort and performance with real-world conditions at the forefront — from below-wing teams in extreme weather and flight attendants crossing climates in a single shift, to Airport Customer Service team members going from gate to aircraft and back again.

From pocket placement to fabric choices, every detail was informed by the Delta people who wear the uniform, with every seam and stitch refined and reimagined to exude premium and perform under pressure.  

Safety has been non-negotiable at Delta for over 100 years. Every piece in the Distinctly Delta collection meets industry-leading certification standards, including the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX — a mark of excellence in fabric safety.  

Classic colors and reimagined iconic pieces return  

This uniform is a seamless extension of the airline’s brand identity, with Delta’s signature colors making their return. Borrowing from the Delta tail and Widget, deep navy and premium shades of burgundy and red are being reintroduced with aviation-inspired names like Navigator Navy, Boarding Burgundy and Runway Red for our Red Coats.

A new shade of Powerful Pink arrives with this collection, as we continue a 20-year partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) – Delta people will continue to wear this color with pride every October. 

Distinctly Delta is designed to last — both in durability and style. Iconic pieces from current and past collections were reimagined, not replaced. For example, the airline is bringing back a standout piece — the iconic wrap dress.

First introduced in the early 2000s, the wrap dress quickly became an employee and customer favorite and now returns with Distinctly Delta updates.  

“Delta crews were iconic walking the concourse in the wrap dress. It was very Delta,” recalled Dimbiloglu. “Our people said ‘bring it back,’ so we did — without hesitation.” 

Premium design from curb to cloud 

Delta’s transformation into America’s premium airline isn’t just about new lounges, experiences or suites — it’s about people. This uniform collection made for Delta people is a visual representation of Delta’s elevated excellence spanning terminals, tarmacs and time zones.  

“When customers see our people in this uniform, we want them to feel something different – something special,” said Dimbiloglu. “Welcoming. Elevated. Caring. That’s Distinctly Delta.”  

The Elite Collection — featuring subtle jacquard patterns intertwined with the beloved Delta Widget — distinguishes elite service roles like Red Coats, Sky Club ambassadors and Pursers onboard These roles will now be unified under one collection for the first time in Delta’s history.  

As a natural extension of our partnership, Delta is collaborating with Missoni, the renowned Italian fashion house, to design a selection of refined accessories — including scarves, ties, and pocket squares — that complement the onboard experience. These pieces reflect Missoni’s signature craftsmanship and Delta’s timeless style.

Bombas is also coming onboard as a partner with this collection – providing their signature comfortable socks in black accented with special Delta branding elements, made for both above and below-wing employees. 

Century of flight, a future of style 

Designed with intention and engineered for performance, the Distinctly Delta collection is the result of a deeply collaborative process that puts employees at the heart of every stitch.

This collection marks a milestone in Delta’s centennial year, while transcending into the next 100. 

“We’re not just dressing for today,” Dimbiloglu said. “We’re dressing for the Delta we are becoming.”  

Delta will enter the wear-testing phase of the Distinctly Delta uniform collection by summer 2026, with all employees sporting the new collection in 2027.
