Staff criticized the inclusive range, which is designed to be durable and comfortable.

The burger chain says the range is made from recycled polyester.
A photo of the brightly colored T-shirts, bandanas, jeans and white sneakers was leaked in a Facebook group.
Staff criticized the idea of white shoes in a kitchen, while another hoped it was an April Fool’s joke.
One employee told The Sun: “It all feels very woke.
“If I had to wear it, I would run away.”
“And I’m pretty sure most of my colleagues would too.
“People will be discouraged from working there.
“It changes the look to a more urban style that doesn’t fit the brand at all.
“I just don’t understand it.
“I think they’re trying to be more like and copy Five Guys – sacrificing practicality for style.”
South London worker Bukky said: “It’s important to me that I have the ability to choose what I wear.”
The clothing will be trialled in select restaurants in the coming weeks, with a launch in early 2025.
James Thorne of McDonald’s UK & Ireland said: “It gives team members the opportunity to create a look that reflects who they are.”
