Potential changes in the bikini barista dress code will soon be put to a vote in Everett. The city council must decide on the changes as part of a lawsuit settlement after a federal court ruling found the former dress code was unconstitutional.
Though their choice of attire is not the typical poolside fashions, bikini baristas could soon work in minimal clothing as long as it is in compliance with the city’s Lewd Conduct Dress Requirement standards."The baristas will be able to dress just as they can anywhere else in the city meeting the lewd conduct standard, which is basically a minimal bikini," said Ramsey Ramerman, Everett ’s deputy city attorney.
"In the lawsuit in 2020, the trial court upheld the city’s lewd conduct ordinance, but found that the minimum dress requirements in the Quick Service Ordinance violated equal protection of the baristas," said Ramerman.As part of the $500,000 lawsuit settlement, the city agreed to amend its Quick Service Ordinance, making baristas subject to the Lewd Conduct Dress Requirement standards.The proposal would require the workers to cover "minimum body areas" with opaque material.
