Starbucks has announced that it is instituting a new employee dress code which “welcomes personal expression.” 
A press release issued on July 25 states, “Effective immediately, a range of shirt colors beyond solid black and white are welcome, including gray, navy, dark denim and brown, [and] including patterns.”
The release further explains, "Shorts, skirts, dresses and pants, including dark-wash jeans, are all part of the Starbucks wardrobe..."
Previous guidelines required staff to dress in solid black, white, or khaki only.
The statement also notes that employees can wear certain hats such as fedoras and beanies, and they can also “make a statement with hair color, so long as [the] coloring is permanent or semi-permanent, [and] in keeping with food-safety standards.” 
The new policy was developed so baristas can better express their individual styles.
