Jeans are good as long as they're not too light of a wash! The $1 is intentionally pretty broad aside from the color palette. As long as it doesn't have anything on the "no" list, you can generally wear it. Your manager is the best person to ask about specific items because they're the one whose opinion matters in the end and some managers are more lenient than others.

Most people I work with wear dark denim or black pants. Khaki pants are ok and plenty of people wear them but I'm too afraid of getting them dirty, so I wear dark navy or black jeans. As the dress code says, they cannot have holes/tears. Shirts do not have to be tucked in. Plain T-shirts are ok, as are simple patterns where all colors are within the color palette, like black & white stripes or polka dots. If you wear something with long sleeves I \*strongly\* recommend something where the sleeves fit tightly around your arms or where you can roll up the sleeves comfortably.

Non-slip shoes generally aren't required but are a \*very\* good idea since you'll inevitably be walking in a hurry on a wet tile floor. You'll also want shoes that you can spill stuff on without it immediately soaking through to your socks, which is why plain canvas Vans aren't a good idea but other Vans with a suede top are just fine (and what I wear). You can get a discount on some good work shoes at $1 and from Sketchers at $1.

Hair just has to be secured away from your face, so all the styles you mentioned are fine

An Apple watch is not allowed; government regulations for food service workers prevent you from wearing anything on your wrists or hands except for a single plain ring.

I went on the Starbucks coffee gear site and bought a bunch of t-shirts. I also wear black or dark denim every shift. I like to wear scrunchies in my hair. They aren’t as tight as a regular ponytail holder and it gives me the opportunity to wear a little color. I also like to wear cute socks. My favorite shoes right now are work Crocs. They are waterproof and slip resistant. Good luck-you’re going to be great!

I would recommend finding black non slip shoes so that if you do fall and get hurt badly, you can get workers comp

i also work at vans funny enough but regular vans aren’t the best idea. vans has a “skate” line made for skating with more durable rubbers and suede in lieu of canvas. they’re not technically non slip but i wear those to work and they’ve held up really well, they have better insoles too so they’re really comfy. but they also make non slip vans that are all black and leather, with the nice insoles too! they’re just a little more expensive than the skate shoes, so i opted for the skates

i would say it’s safe to assume any kind of dark jeans or pants are okay. i wear dark wash jeans and black jeans everytime i work and i have been fine everytime! the only thing they don’t really allow is colors outside of the color pallets and sweatpants, leggings, yoga pants, cargo pants, etc.

i'd probably say no to the vans (imagine spilling hot coffee, if you think your feet will be safe, those shoes are good to wear). Jeans are def okay, and plain t-shirt's are all i've worn since day 1. you won't get reprimanded if you don't wear nonslips but it's a good idea to wear em. just a ponytail is okay, and i wouldn't wear the watch if you're on bar (unsanitary). my usual fit is mom jeans, tshirt untucked with docs

Hi! I my hair is somewhat long for a guy (6inch fringe) and i always tie it up and my outfit is usually clean black jeans and a navy/dark grey sweater. I think it depends store to store on the uniform situation but try to dress comfortable and something u don't mind spilling something on in my opinion!

Best of luck!

honestly idk if its just my store but i wear any color jeans with a graphic tee or hoodie everyday and my usual black and white converse (athough sometimes i wear my nonslip dr martens~)

however, i suggest you not wear an apple watch because things do get a bit messy. and since you have long hair, wear it up in a bun or ponytail— whichever is most comfortable when you're wearing your headware :)
and don't be afraid of having questions! ive been wowking at my store for the past 2 weeks and i just wore whatever i wanted on the first day and nobody said anything so this is just how i roll now. maybe observe what your coworkers wear, or even just ask, that works too!
