I always wear shorts (gym shorts/footy shorts) and a tshirt. I normally change into these in the lounge prior to boarding. Most of my flights are QF and never an issue, also did the same on a recent return trip to Europe flying EK and again no problems.
You can wear whatever you wish...once you are covered by a blanket, nobody cares. However, I like to wear my prized first class Emirates pj's as they are stretchy and thick enough to keep you warm without a blanket. My biggest issue is simply getting too hot after over indulging on wine and food.
I change in to the airline PJs as soon as I get them but use one of my own t-shirts as I prefer the short sleeves. I've done just the undies on EK first as their cabin gets too warm. :)
I wear a polo shirt and light weight absolutely crush proof trousers on long haul flights and sleep/work/eat/read/look out of the window in these. If the airline offers PJs I take a pair back to give to family members.
just wear something sensible. I often just change into my gym shorts and t shirt once the cabin lights dim for sleeping time and have never had a problem.
I travel long haul overnight often and never bother changing these days. I find it just too much hassle. This last trip, LA-Auckland return, I wore polo and jeans and slept in those. 7 hours sleep straight on the way back no drama and perfectly comfortable.
Thank you very much for your comments. I was always thinking you need to wear shirt and trousers when travelling on Business.
In that case I will bring a football shorts to sleep then.
Does Virgin give out PJs for international long haul?
Haaa haaa, you must feel free to wear the style of clothing that's right for you, within reason.
I usually fly Emirates F, sometimes J and I have seen it all. There is definitely no dress standard. People wear whatever they want. It's mostly only the toffs and wannabes that wear shirt, trousers and (heaven forbid) a tie!
The ones in ties give me a very dismissive look when I'm in F with shorts, tee shirt and sandals. I love their reaction. I obviously lower the tone!
With Emirates it's gym shorts and a t/shirt. With Qantas their pjs on the longer flights and just the top on the shorter ones eg Melb /Sing. Saves my shirt if I miss the mouth with food or heavens forbid wine!

Yeah I was in F a fews times in shorts and thongs not even sandals. I got some sour looks but I just smile back.
Wear what you like mate, but respect the Islamic culture on the MH flight. When on airlines that don't give out PJs to J class, I enjoy wearing their competitors' PJs. Similarly, if cabin crew don't lower cabin temp to a comfortable level, I'm happy to go topless to make a point.
I flew to UK this year, wore QANTAS pjs on MH and Oman air. Coming home, I changed into Oman pjs, kept them on to transit Muscat, and when I got to KL. Walked through the lounge to the shower, changed into QANTAS pjs and changesd back when I landed in Melbourne. Nobody seemed to mind.

I wear my Qantas jammies every long distance flight regardless of airline! Never had any (voiced) complaints!

If passengers can wander around in bare feet, why should anybody care what you have on your lie flat
