Starbucks announced a new dress code policy for its North American employees that will take effect next month, a move that has drawn criticism from the company’s union while coming amid other operational changes at the coffee giant.

According to an April 14 statement, Starbucks will implement a more restrictive dress code starting on May 12 across all North American locations, requiring employees to wear solid black tops with khaki, black, or blue denim bottoms.
