Morgan had always been a pragmatist. When he noticed the Barrington Hotel’s housekeeping handbook made no mention of male employees, he saw an opportunity. The 22-page document detailed uniform requirements---knee-length mint dresses, white tights, full-coverage bras, and panties---as if only women need apply. At 24, with student loans looming, he’d applied to the hotel expecting to be rejected. His plan? A tidy lawsuit under the city’s gender discrimination statutes. But the Barrington, a 12-story establishment known for its crystal chandeliers and starched linen sheets, surprised him. They called three days after his application. “When can you start?” the manager had asked, not a hint of hesitation in her voice.

The uniform was another matter. Morgan stood in the staff boutique, staring at the rack of mint-green dresses. The saleswoman, a veteran housekeeper named Rosa, handed him a size medium. “You’ll need the proper undergarments,” she said matter-of-factly, pointing to a display of cotton bras and high-cut panties. “Policy says full coverage. No exceptions.” He bought them, fingers brushing against the lace trim, wondering if this was a dream. At home, he tried on the outfit---dress, tights, white apron, and the undergarments. The mirror showed a stranger: slender, angular, in a dress that cinched at the waist. He almost laughed. *This’ll get me fired by noon*, he thought.

Employee Dress Code - Housekeepers All housekeepers are expected to maintain a professional and polished appearance consistent with the hotel's upscale standards. The designated uniform for all chambermaids includes the following components: Uniform Description: Dress: A tailored, feminine dress uniform in a refined mint green color. The dress features a structured fit with a modest neckline and falls to an appropriate length to ensure comfort and professionalism. Accents: Crisp white accents along the collar, cuffs, and buttons enhance the elegant look of the uniform. Undergarments: A sturdy, full-coverage bra is recommended for comfort and support. White opaque tights should be worn underneath the dress for a neat and uniform appearance. Footwear: Comfortable, closed-toe flats in a neutral color such as white or beige are required for ease of movement and safety. Grooming and Accessories: Makeup: Subtle, polished makeup with soft tones to complement the uniform and maintain a refined appearance. Hairstyle: Hair should be neatly styled in a classic updo or a smooth bun to ensure a tidy and professional look. Jewelry: Jewelry should be simple and understated, avoiding anything overly ornate to preserve the uniform’s elegant aesthetic. You are only seeing a fraction of my work.
