I just stick with black shirts and dark jeans. Not something you asked, but get a dark laundry detergent. I use the oxi clean dark with regular detergent and it’s helped with fading, but still gets the gross out. I also toss my aprons in as well and haven’t had issues. You will get very gross at work though. I was not fully prepared for this when I started.

As far as shoes, I just ordered some nice boots from Wolverine. The shoes I got back when I started in October aren’t holding up. If it’s a job you plan to stick with for a while, definitely invest in good quality shoes. I also have arch supports and compression socks, but in Starbucks world I’m basically elderly so you’ll probably be ok with just shoes.

And again, not what you asked for, but go ahead and buy some sharpies and pens. You’ll want both on you at all times.

That is what I wear, make sure your tees don’t fit too snug around your shoulders looser is better.

I wouldn’t recommend using shoes that you like too much, but get something that easy to clean and safe. All black sounds great and it’ll be a breeze to get ready. My only tips for you is too ask questions!! It’s better to do things the right way, than to do it wrong because you are unsure. You got this!! Have fun!
