Starbucks’ new employee dress code has officially gone into effect.
Axios reports May 12 was the first day for the new dress code.
Starting today, Starbucks baristas will be required to wear a solid black top and any shade of khaki, black, or blue denim bottoms. The coffee chain will also provide baristas with a new line of company-branded t-shirts.
Prior to the dress code, employees could wear any color top, reports Axios. Baristas could also wear gray and brown pants.
“By updating our dress code, we can deliver a more consistent coffeehouse experience that will also bring simpler and clearer guidance to our partners, which means they can focus on what matters most, crafting great beverages and fostering connections with customers, ” the coffee chain said in an April press release.
The new dress code is one of several changes Starbucks is implementing this year in an effort to get back to its “community coffeeshop roots.” In January, the coffee chain announced a number of new policies, including a new code of conduct.
Starbucks also started offering free refills this year.
