Let’s be honest, having a dress code at work is not that bad, the best thing about it is that you don’t have to worry about what you need to wear every single day, and you don’t really have to worry about people noticing you are wearing the same shirt two days in a row.
However, a lot of people do like to wear whatever they want, whether it’s for comfort reasons or just dressing to impress.
So what is the case with Shipt? Let’s find out!
Do I Have To Wear My Shipt Shirt?
No, you will be given a Shipt shirt once you start working with them but you don’t have to wear it if you don’t want to. Wearing your Shipt shirt is completely optional.
Still, there has to be some sort of dress code for Shipt workers right? Well, there is but it’s not that strict. For starters you don’t need to carry the logo around so that is a big step towards a more casual “uniform”.

What is Shipt’s Dress Code?
Shipt doesn’t really have a dress code, the most important thing is that you are comfortable with what you’re wearing in order to do a better job while shopping and delivering the groceries to clients.
Some experienced Shipt shoppers even recommend not wearing Shipt gear or clothing, since it might draw some unwanted attention and potentially sabotage your work, even though they don’t mean to do it.
So if you are shopping for a client, you can feel free to dress however you want as long as it’s in a presentable clean manner.
Can I Wear Shorts as a Shipt Shopper?
Yes, there are no problems with that, the only thing that matters is that you look presentable when delivering the orders to a client.
What Are Other More Important Requirements For Being a Shipt Shopper?
As you may have noticed, Shipt doesn’t think about the dress code too much, and there is a good reason for that. Shipt has other priorities when it comes to shoppers, so if you are interested in working with them as an independent contractor then you should pay attention to these requirements:
- You need to be at least 18 years old.
- Since deliveries are a big part of the job, you need to own a vehicle registered from 1997 or newer.
- You need an insulated cooler bag for some products.
- You’ll need to have a US license to drive and make the deliveries.
- If you can’t lift around 40 pounds or more, or you are not fit enough for this kind of job then it might be a big problem.
- Most of the time, you’ll be looking at the Shipt app so you’ll need an updated iPhone or Android in order to be able to work as a shopper.
Other than that, they want professional people who can maintain a good work ethic and a good relationship with the clients.
