"A coffee shop should be a relaxing and enjoyable place." Karen Harper, an account manager at Incorporatewear, explains that people can temporarily leave the two "frontlines" of work and family to kill time. Shop assistant costume infects itself at the same time, it imperceptibly affects the mood of customers.

Not long ago, Costa announced a partnership with US fashion site Refinery 29 this summer to design a color co-branded T-shirt for baristas in UK stores.

The little ideas spent on uniforms send a message to the brand: we need to be younger and more in line with the aesthetic of millennials. According to a recent survey of American companies conducted by research firm OfficeTeam, employees' formal clothes are much lower than they were five years ago. Fifty-eight percent of the respondents wanted to wear a business and leisure style to work, or a pure leisure style, which not only saves money on clothing, but also makes it easier to stay relaxed.

James Freeman, who wrote the book "Blue bottle Coffee maker's Spectrum" ("the Blue Bottle Craft of Coffee"), started working as a hand-made coffee shop Blue Bottle in San Francisco in 2002. In recent years, with the investment of Silicon Valley bosses, the coffee brand has opened stores from the west coast to the east coast, even in Tokyo.

People see it as the apple of the coffee world and think it has the potential to shake up Starbucks. Michael V. Copeland, a contributor to Fortune magazine, once made this analogy: "if Starbucks is the latest Honda Honda Accord with a full set of flashy decorations, the blue bottle is a 1955 Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Of course, Alpha may be more expensive, and more attention needs to be paid to conservation, but its aesthetic level is beyond Accord's reach. "

But if you have ever visited its stores, employees do not have the same uniform-although Blue bottle once revealed on the official Twitter that employees love to wear Everlane clothes. Sometimes you see baristas with caps, wool hats and no hats in the same store.
