I am going to start my flying lessons again and would like to know whether anyone getting or has their PPL wears pilots uniform (shirt, tie 'Stripes') because i'd like to look the part as well as be the part or do you think i would just look like a fool lol. Any feedback will be appriciated.

I would steer well clear of the stripes even with a PPL..... or CPL for that matter unless you are instructing where it is part of the uniform or a commercial pilot.

No nothing to do with security more to do with one becoming a target for humour! I have been through the system in the UK up to commercial level and have seen people in flying suits with helmet (helmet sometimes not a bad idea but that is another story) getting into C150's which is in my opinion laughable and the stripes are really not necessary. I have an old captains jacket in the garage if you want it!!

Do you plan on going on to be an ATP? THEN you'll get a uniform. Otherwise, i dont think you should get one even if you get your commercial rating.

I think you sound like you are more in love with the wearing a uniform than flying aircraft.
I was more concerned with how to fund £50000 towards flying training. It was only when eventually getting a job that I realised that I actually felt worthy of wearing a uniform.
I advise putting a lot of time, effort and money into training and trying to convince an airline that you are the right stuff! It worked for me!!
