New Dress Code at Starbucks: Embracing Green for Consistency

Starbucks is introducing a simplified dress code in all stores starting May 12, focusing on the iconic green apron to create a sense of familiarity across North America. The new policy aims to deliver a consistent coffeehouse experience, while also providing clearer guidance for partners.

The updated dress code features a more defined color palette, including solid black and khaki tops, as well as blue denim bottoms. Additionally, Starbucks will be releasing company-branded t-shirts, which partners can receive for free, including network options.
