Here's a polished policy statement you can include in your employee handbook:

Fair Hill Saddlery Staff Attire & Personal Hygiene Policy

Staff Attire

Fair Hill Saddlery employees are expected to maintain a clean, professional, and approachable appearance while representing the business. Clothing should be appropriate for a retail and equestrian environment, allowing employees to work safely and comfortably while providing excellent customer service.

The following attire is acceptable:

  • Khaki pants

  • Breeches or riding tights

  • Leggings that are paired with a top providing appropriate coverage

  • Mid-length shorts

  • Comfortable footwear suitable for standing and working throughout the day

  • Fair Hill Saddlery logo shirts

  • Equestrian-branded shirts (excluding apparel displaying competitor logos)

  • Any modest, neat, and professional top

The following attire is not permitted:

  • Clothing that is excessively torn, dirty, or unprofessional

  • Tops that expose excessive cleavage

  • Clothing that does not provide adequate coverage of the midriff or buttocks

  • Apparel displaying competitor logos

Management reserves the right to determine whether attire is appropriate and may ask employees to change if clothing does not meet these standards.

Personal Hygiene

Employees are expected to maintain good personal hygiene to ensure a pleasant environment for coworkers and customers. Staff should:

  • Arrive to work clean and well-groomed.

  • Wear clean clothing each shift.

  • Practice regular personal hygiene, including the use of deodorant.

  • Maintain clean hair and, if applicable, neatly groomed facial hair.

Employees who do not meet these standards may be asked to address the issue before continuing their shift.

Fair Hill Saddlery is committed to maintaining a safe, welcoming, and professional shopping environment for both customers and staff.
