I feel that the current wrap uniforms look chic and timeless, and is more easily associated with SilkAir as a pan-Asian airline. The new uniform will take time to get used to. The bow on the blouse looks a little awkward, as if they're wearing scarves with only the ends visible.
Also, isn't SilkAir getting male cabin crew soon? Guess they'll have a separate launch for the male cabin crew uniform later on.

The new one looks awful! I thought the current ones are very nice..Life's A Bitch,
Love It
If GOD created me for only 1 reason. That reason would be to the love of my wife. If there was any other reasons involved, that would be for the love of Singapore Airlines

Just got off a Silkair flight. Midflight, I casually asked one of the crew if she prefers the current or new uniform, and she replied that she prefers the new design.

What defines junior versus senior crew on Silkair? Obviously senior have more experience or more responsible positions, but the photo with roughly half and half blue versus red tops on the uniforms is making me wonder. I would have though that senior were pursers or what some airlines call lead flight attendants. Or it could be FAs serving in business and first class. Neither of these categories would seem to be half of the Silkair cabin crew on a flight.

Seriously?
A few years ago I think SQ started to emphasise the importance of realising its regional network strength with SQ+MI since they now make MI flights fully codeshare-able on SQ's website with no additional cost. It wasn't the case before. They also gave MI the tagline "The Regional Wing of Singapore Airlines". It makes sense that they're increasingly branding MI as regional SQ because MI is never going to be a very strong brand on its own.. most of their destinations are < 2 hours and LCC have a big cost advantage here. Also I don't think a traveler say flying from Frankfurt to Chiang Mai is going to care if the SIN-CNX leg is on SQ or MI but would want to be able to book the full itinerary seamlessly.
So I'd imagine any revamped crew uniforms for MI would be made to look complimentary to SQ. But the new uniforms look completely unlike SQ's Southeast Asian heritage and to me, plainly tacky.
If I hadn't known and was asked to guess what company this new uniform belongs to, I'd have guessed it belongs to a domestic hotel or restaurant chain in Thailand.
Oh well. I still love MI and will continue to fly them though
