Walmart is considering loosening the dress code that its 1.4 million U.S. employees are required to follow as it tries to attract and retain its staff.

In terms of Walmart’s dress code, the chain is known for having employees pay for the required uniform items themselves, which poses an additional monetary issue when the dress code is revised.

Walmart has introduced what it's calling a new dress code for its employees, a "new look" that includes rather sedate choices, such as twill pants and knit polos.
