Speaking to whowhatwear.com, she shared, "I traveled a lot growing up, and one rule my mother made me follow, which I continue to follow, is to always have my body covered. Emergency slides are not fun to go down and hurt a lot—it's not a smooth landing once you reach the end of the slide.

Additionally, she advises against wearing restrictive clothing on flights. If you experience swelling during the journey, tight outfits can impede blood flow. "This is especially crucial for tall individuals, frequent travelers, or those on long flights, as they are at higher risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT)."

Deep vein thrombosis is a medical condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in your body, typically in your legs. This clot can cause pain, swelling, and redness in the affected area, though sometimes it may occur without noticeable symptoms.

Well, next time you travel, make sure to cover up!
