A new dress code at some Macy's stores that requires workers to wear black is making some employees see red.

The requirement, which took effect Aug. 11 at the Macy's in Crossgates Mall in Guilderland, requires male and female employees to wear all-black. Exceptions are made for men's shirts and ties and women's shoes and sleeveless tops provided the tops are covered by a black jacket or sweater.


Pinstripe suits are allowed, as long as the stripe is thin and only one color.

"Depending on if you work in juniors or young men, it's a little more relaxed," said Orlando Veras, a spokesman at Macy's East headquarters in New York City, which covers about 174 stores. "Instead of wearing dress slacks they can wear black denim."

The new dress code is an attempt by the retailer to make it easier for customers to identify sales associates, Veras said. Macy's has always required employees to dress professionally, so the only change is the color.

"It looks amazing," Veras said. "I just came back from a new store opening in Philadelphia. There's a sea of people and you can tell who our associates are from far away."

But the rule is upsetting to some employees who have to spend money on a new wardrobe, even with the special employee-only discounts that have been offered on black clothes.

One national retail analyst said the dress code could make it difficult for Macy's to hire part-time temporary help during the Christmas shopping season because of the added expense.

"They may get a bit of a sales person revolution if they're not careful," said Britt Beemer of America's Research Group.

Bloomingdale's instituted the same policy a year ago, Beemer said, and some employees there called it a "major hardship."

Talk to the Human Resources dept. I am sure they will tell you. If this is an interview, dress your best professional office attire.
Men or Women a conservative suit, easy on the jewelry and flashy shoes. Be conservative is best and hide tatoos. They are not considered to be employable.
